Then there will be definitely breakdown, as every one knows that a breakdown in any hardware is quite common and it usually happens when you are deeply immersed in the middle of something.

If any problem occurs to your console then there is nothing to worry about it. In almost all cases the 3 Red Light errors can be fixed on your Xbox, but there are few problems that can not be solved by you. You can try these tips if any problem occurs.

1. You have to check that the console gets heated or not, if it gets heated then you have to switch off the power and unplug the Xbox. Keep the console in the open area for cooling and after it get cool then reconnect the console. And see that the proper ventilation is provided to the console while using, it is also good that place the console in the open area. Never place the vent of the console next to the wall; this prevents air from circulating in and around it and thus cooling its components.

2. After the Xbox has been unplugged for cooling take either a blower of the vacuum cleaner or a hair dryer with cold blower option and blow the dust trapped within the console. The dust can also cause over-heating. And at all times remember never to blow hot air into the console.

After it has completely cooled down plug it back and check if the 3 Red Lights error has gone. If the error has not disappeared then you need to think about what to do next. If the warranty of your console has not expired then it is easy to send it for repairs or replacement - and remember once it is in the warranty center it would take at least two months to return.
