Been there, done that! The 3 red lights often mean your Xbox 360 is overheating. Give it some time to cool down, and make sure it's in a well-ventilated area when you turn it back on. Also, clean the vents and fans to ensure good airflow.

I fixed mine by opening it up, reapplying thermal paste to the CPU and GPU, then reassembling everything carefully. Not for the faint-hearted, but it worked for me!

The infamous 'Red Ring of Death' (RRoD) usually indicates a hardware failure. Try turning off your Xbox 360, unplugging it for a few minutes, then plugging it back in and restarting it. If that doesn't work, check if your power supply light is green. If it's red or orange, you might need to replace the power supply.

Hot take: Just get an Xbox Series X. Seriously, why waste time fixing ancient tech?

Try wrapping your console in a towel and running it for 20 minutes. Weird but effective temporary fix. Just don't leave it unattended!
