Something that makes gamers cringe are the three red lights. When three lights flash red on the Ring of Light on the front of your Xbox 360 console, the upper-right quadrant light is the only light that does not flash red if the problem is serious. Here is some enlightenment on Xbox 360 repair of your power supply light that is showing that frightening red hue. When there may be a possible issue with the system, the power supply light will glow red. You can distinguish this when the power light changes from green to orange to red whilst using the console. The reasons this can occur vary, but it generally arises when the external power supply has detected a fault. Built-in to the system are safeguards to help you and your system prevent damage to the console and the power supply itself. Depending on the severity of the problem, the power supply will produce a red light or turn itself off when there is too much current, when the voltage is too high, or when the temperature of the power supply is too high. What are some available red light repair techniques? The first thing to check is coolness of the power supply. The red light is a potential indicator that the power supply is too hot. If this is the case, you should let the power supply cool off for several hours in a well-ventilated space--much like yourself after discovering the red light catastrophe. Soon after it is cooled, the power supply light should change from red to orange if the problem is indeed the power supply temperature. A sometimes overlooked problem would be the power supply plug itself. If it is plugged into an extension cord, surge protector, or power strip, the amount of voltage has a possibility of being incorrect. If this is the case, try plugging the power supply directly into the wall outlet. If none of the previous techniques work, try using a different power cord and power unit. If possible, try testing your console with the new power cord and supply. If the console fails to work, the issue is the console itself. If all three Xbox 360 red light repair methods listed in this article work are unsuccessful, be prepared to pony up the cash to get your console fixed, because that is probably your only option now.
