Xbox Repair Guide In Case of Power Outage

Turning off your Xbox while it is running, whether playing a DVD, streaming music from your ipod or in the middle of a game you will definitely have problems when you turn your console on again. You might say, but why would I ever do that? Well there are a number of things that could happen that would lead to this situation. For times like this you can use a simple Xbox repair guide.

First of all power outages are completely out of our control and unpredictable. If a power outage happened while your Xbox was turned on then there is a possibility that when you switch it back on there will be the flashing three red lights from the power button, which means an internal error. So what do you do? Do you send your Xbox in for repairs or is there an at home Xbox repair guide in such a situation?

What to Do

When this happens you may be able to fix your Xbox by yourself. First up don’t attempt to open up your console, that’s never a good idea. That’s better left to the professionals. This Xbox repair guide is only meant for some basic repairs and nothing that requires you to get in there with a screwdriver.

In the situation described, where your Xbox has been turned off while in the middle of operation, there is a trick you can pull to fix things. First go to the System Blade and look for Initial Setup. Initial Setup will run your Xbox the same way it did when you first got your Xbox.

Before you get any further with this Xbox repair guide make sure that you detach any memory unit and HDD. Leaving a memory unit or HDD in may result in all your saved games disappearing for good. Think of this as a way of reformatting, the same way you might reformat your computer or thumb drive. Once you have selected the Initial Setup your console will perform the necessary reformatting.

Your Xbox will probably then prompt you to insert a HDD or memory unit, don’t do this yet. When you don’t accept this action you will go to the default Dashboard screen. Now try and sync your controller to the console. If you can do this then the problem is most probably fixed. Shut down your Xbox and when you turn it on again it should be good as new. So simple, this Xbox repair guide is not fail safe but try it before you call in for a repair.
