If your xbox 360 has stopped working and you are getting the 3 red light error dont panic, there is hope. With some basic tools and a decent repair manual you can fix it yourself.

You will need a set of torx screwdrivers, If you do not have a set you can pick up a cheap set at your local hardware store.

The 3 red light error means there is a general hardware failure. First thing you can try is to dis-connect everything and let your console sit for 20 minutes unplugged from the power. Re-connect everything and try it again, If you are still getting the error remove the hard drive and re-install it. Sometimes they get loose and you get a bad connection.

If that did not fix it you will need to open it up at this point. The most common failures are no video or disks will not read. Both can be repaired fairly easy.

If you have no video you can try a different video cable, borrow a friends if you do not have another one. If you still have no video but audio is working you will need to check the soldering connections on the main board for the video connector. Consult the manual before attempting this or any other internal repairs.

If your xbox is not reading the disks or getting disk errors make sure your disks are clean. After that you may have to replace the dvd drive or if you have the skills you can remove the dvd drive and replace just the pick up assembly. This is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole drive. Again consult the repair manual before attempting this.

Your other option is to send your console off to microsoft and Wait. Nothing worse than having Halo 3 and not being able to play it. I prefer to do my own mods and repairs. The console unit is very similar to your home computer, it is actually a small computer. With a little patience anyone can learn how to do there own repairs.

Once you learn about the inner workings of you game console and repair it you will become real popular with your friends when the game breaks down. This has turned into a part time business for me. Word seems to get around fast. If you want you can make some decent money doing repairs. People would much rather have someone local do their repairs.

weight Loss Surgery Explained
At a Glasgow weight loss clinic, two weight loss surgeries are available: Gastric Bypass and lap Band surgeries:

Gastric Bypass Surgery

There's a reason why diets usually never work for many people suffering from obesity. Because they are accustomed to taking a huge amount of food regularly, there stomach stretches out to a larger size to accommodate their intake. Eventually, it takes longer for them to feel full so they are induced to eat more just to satisfy their stomachs.

Gastric bypass surgery solves this problem. In this procedure, the surgeon creates a smaller pouch in your stomach that will accommodate only a limited amount of food. The food that leaves this new stomach goes through a newly created opening and bypasses the rest of the stomach and much of the small intestine. As a result, fewer calories are absorbed as the food passes through your body. Because you feel full faster, you dont eat as much.

lap Band Surgery

In this procedure, the surgeon places a band around the top section of the stomach to create a smaller pouch that will hold a limited amount of food. The band is adjustable, much like a belt, which gives your surgeon control without creating the risk of side effects. The band is actually an inflatable silicone ring with a reservoir connected to it by a fine tube and sealed by a locking device so that it will not open while in the body. The inflatable ring controls the flow of food from this smaller pouch to the rest of the digestive tract. It makes the patient feel comfortably full with a small amount of food. And because of the slow emptying, the patient will continue to feel full for several hours, reducing the urge to eat between meals.

The procedure is fully reversible and will leave no permanent scars on your stomach.

The xbox 360 has so many new features as opposed to the older version. Some features that really stand out are the wireless remotes, the 20gb hard drive and the aesthetically pleasing exterior casing.

Firstly the xbox 360 is available in a choice of silver or black. Both are very appealing and it is a matter of personal choice which one the consumer wants to choose. Additionally you can remove nearly all the plates from the exterior casing to replace with whatever color you want. The wireless remotes are a blessing. No more tangled remote wires or having to sit close to the console just to be able to play the many wonderful games.

The 20gb hard drive is more than ample to store multimedia such as videos and music. The hard drive is also upgradeable leaving the option to upgrade later down the track but this wont be necessary. just to give you an idea of how much 20gb can hold, it can store either 5 full length dvd movies or upwards of 6000 mp3 songs.

Below the visually appealing exterior lies a lot of processing power. The xbox 360 has 3 3.2GHz processor. Standard personal computers have just the one processor. Imagine 3 times the processing power of a well decked out personal computer and youll understand what kind of power the xbox 360 has.

To match the processing power the xbox 360 has a custom ATI graphics processor. The ATI graphics processor has a whopping 512mb of RAM and runs at a speed of 500MHz. This is enough to make light work of any high end game.

Besides the major feature of the xbox 360 that Ive listed above, it also comes with many additional accessories such as the wireless headset and so forth. The xbox 360 is a great innovation in the world of gaming and will continue to increase in popularity making it a formidable opponent to sonys playstation 3.
