Zach’s Awesome Web Site

Just like a computer, at one point or another you will have trouble with your video gaming console. If you are having trouble with your Xbox or Xbox 360, thankfully there is a decent resource on the various Microsoft Corporation Web sites that exist, including the official Xbox and Xbox 360 Web sites. These sites will provide you with very good resources that will walk you through the Xbox 360 troubleshooting steps, just like the guides that walk you through troubleshooting the Windows operating system when something does not go quite right.

The Xbox 360 troubleshooting steps are usually quite easy and are separated into separate steps. Once you complete one step, you are asked to answer whether or not this step solved your problem. You can also always choose that you want to skip this step and try a different Xbox 360 troubleshooting step. Eventually, you will get to the end of the Xbox 360 troubleshooting steps and will either have solved your Xbox 360 problem or you will be given a link to send your Xbox 360 in for repair. Usually this will bring up a form in which you will be asked to fill in things like your contact information, your Xbox 360 serial number, the date you purchased your Xbox 360, and even where you purchased it. Then you will usually be sent an email with further shipping instructions.

Sometimes you can also do live Xbox 360 troubleshooting with a live support customer representative. This will mean that you will chat online with a live customer support representative that will walk you through the various Xbox 360 troubleshooting steps. Sometimes, if your Xbox 360 is actually connected to your network, the customer service representative may even be able to connect directly to your Xbox 360 and do further Xbox 360 troubleshooting than you can do yourself.

If you are following Xbox 360 troubleshooting steps, make sure to follow official ones and not any that are not an official Microsoft Web site. This is because though there are quite a few Web sites out there that claim to have good troubleshooting tips, they may include steps that will void your warranty if it is still active. Thus, you want to make sure that you trust everything that you are doing, especially if you think you might have to send in your Xbox 360 for repairs – if you void your warranty because of following an unofficial troubleshooting guide, Microsoft will end up charging you heftily for the repairs. Worse yet, you may do irreversible damage to your Xbox 360 that not even Microsoft’s Xbox experts will be able to fix.
