From the graphics it offers to the gaming experience, you will see that this video gaming console can satisfy even the most discriminating gamers out there.

However, although the Xbox 360 is one amazing video game console, there are problems that are commonly associated with it. By knowing about the common problems that people experiences with Xbox 360, you will be able to know if you are also experiencing it and also let you know if it can be repaired or not.

The hardware problems associated with Xbox 360 can range from DVD drive problems to red light error problems. In most cases, there are basically 3 types of light problems that you will notice on your Xbox 360.

When you see a green light, it will mean that it is operating normally. However, if you see red lights, then it will indicate that the Xbox 360 has a problem.
1 red light error will mean one of the E (74 etc.) errors, the 2 red light error will mean overheating and the 3 red light error means general hardware failure.

The main problems on the Xbox 360 will be shown as red lights on the power button when you switch on your gaming console.

If you see 1 red light, an error message on the screen will also usually appear. The 1 red light error will most likely mean the E74 error. This error basically means that the GPU chip has burnt out. The GPU chip is responsible for dealing with the graphical capabilities of your Xbox 360 games. If you have this error, it is wise to call the support center for your Xbox 360 and let them know about it. There is a good chance that they will let you ship the Xbox 360 back to be repaired if it is still within the three-year warranty.

If you see 2 red lights on the power button, then it will mean that your Xbox 360 is overheating.  You need to find the reason for the console overheating. This can lead to the red ring of death.

Try to clean your Xbox 360 inside and out if it overheats. This will get the dust out of your gaming console and prevent it from overheating. You can do this by taking a vacuum nozzle to the sides and back of your console unit. Also, try to play with your Xbox 360 games with the Xbox 360 gaming console out in a well-ventilated area.

For the 3 red light error, it will mean that you have a serious problem with your Xbox 360. This means that your Xbox 360 has suffered from a general hardware failure and will need you to ship it to Microsoft to get it repaired.

You will also see 4 red lights. This is not really something to worry about as it may only be the AV cable not being properly plugged in. Double check your AV cable and it will usually work.
