The Xbox is considered one of the most popular game consoles among computer gamers of this generation. Microsoft introduced the Xbox 360 a few years ago to cater to the younger generation\’s love for video games but incidentally it has spread unconditionally to people of different ages which indicate that it has found its niche among the most loved computer game consoles in the market today. However, like ordinary gadget with software, the Xbox also experience glitches and the most known anomaly of this gadget is known as the \”rings of death\”. Well it does not indicate that your Xbox is totally dead once you see those three red lights blinking but it is trying to warn you that there is an internal problem that needs to be repaired. Experts with the box say this glitch is an indicator that there is a failure on the hardware\’s components while others say the power supply experience electrical glitches which somehow interrupts the flow of electricity to the Xbox. In this case, you have to bring your gadget to the nearest Microsoft center or have your own Xbox repair solution to fix the problem.

The staff of Microsoft sure knows how to deal with the bugged Xbox but you will be lucky if your gadget is still under their warranty(a lot of the machine which are likely to had ‘red ring of death’ are out of warrenty) otherwise you will be shelling some cash for its repair and wait for sometime before you can have your own plaything running back again. So instead of contemplating on bringing your Xbox to the repair shop in case there is no warranties why not try browsing for manuals and Xbox repair guide on the internet to see if you can repair your gadget yourself. There are also Xbox 360 repair instructional tools that you can order at affordable cost which will give you step by step repairing instructions and these are more reliable than free internet guide tools.

As we know, the most common type of error you will read about on the internet is the famous \’red ring of death\’. Once your console has had the red ring of death (otherwise known as \’RROD\’) then the system can be worth a lot less in the resale market. Although one good point about the RROD death is that Microsoft will honour as repair of the machine providing it is still in the warranty period as it is seen as a common problem that they know well.

If you do want to purchase a used Xbox, I would recommend checking to see 2 things.

1) Has it ever had the RROD

2) Is it a \’Jasper\’ machine?

If it has the RROD, then I would pass on this model. If it is a Jasper machine then this is seen as a better machine and less likely to suffer from RROD so a better purchase. The Jasper machine has a different chipset to the older machines which makes it a much better option when buying from eBay or Craigslist.
