Yo whats up, my name is Frankie Negrete
I wrote this short post to show you how I got my piece of crap xbox 360 overheating back up and running like new in just 1 hour, with out any problems. I’m defiantly NOT a pro gamer or a big computer nerd, but fixing my xbox 360 overheating problem was a piece of cake even for me, and A LOT safer than sending it off to Microsoft’s xbox support, (trust me dude, you don’t want to go there) I have already gotten a bunch of my friends and friends of their friends asking me what I did… I thought it would be easier to share my story on this page, and hopefully save some people the hassle and wait of shipping it off it to “someone else”.
Just last week I was playing some Left4Dead2 with a friend of mine, when the freaking thing went out like a light and the 2 red lights showed up and the xbox 360 began overheating (he started coming over my to my place to play ever since Microsuck fucked up his xbox.) Dang I was heated, now I had to go through the same shit my homie Bryce had gone though, and I didn’t even have a guarantee it would fix my xbox 360 overheating problem. I had paid $400+tax for this thing (like $900 maybe a more if I count all my controllers and games), now I couldn’t even watch a movie or play any games (just thinking about it makes me upset)
I was NOT happy at all. But what could I do? My friend had the same thing happen to him a few months back, (54% of xbox 360′s will break down some time sooner or later) and he sent his in to be ‘officially’ repaired by MS. They charged him one hundred ($100+) plus shipping and handling, but they must of spent that on something else because it came back all messed up, and broke again 2 weeks later.
Apparently if you send an xbox 360 to be ‘officially’ repaired by microsoft, its actually being sent to huge warehouse in TX where a bunch of under paid workers fiddle around with it and try to patch it up or something. I don’t know about you dude, but that kinda makes me mad — I thought MS support were the ‘professionals’, not a bunch of guys making $6/hr and fixing 1000 xbox’s a month on a sketchy factory table. A lot of stuff can go wrong in an environment like that.
So I figured I would try just fixing it myself, at least I could start gaming again FAST, like in 2 hours fast. So I surfed around on the Interwebs and found like 20 people selling all kinds of DIY “self repair guides”. To make a long story short, I ended up wasting my money on 3 different guides that confused the hell out of me, until I found this really sweet guide called ‘1 Hour 1-2-3 Red Light Fix‘. Not only would it fix my xbox 360 overheating (which is actually the same thing as the 2 red light error), but It also fixes 1 red light and 3 blinking red light errors as well, just in case my xbox 360 ever broke again.
After I bought the guide, everything else was way easy. I just kicked back and watched some cool video instructions on my computer, and I was back on Live in like an hour and a half. My pal Matt ran off with my guide of course, and apparently it worked for him too. That’s cool though because now I’ve got the place to myself and we’re all happy. I honestly believe that I would still be counting the dots on my ceiling; or, god forbid, waiting on Xbox 360 support if I had not found this guide. That is why I have written this page. You can get more information about the specifics at:

Their site will explain it a lot better than I ever could, so I’m not even going to attempt trying (so just check it out yourself)
Hopefully you find this helpful (I sure did!)
