xbox 360 red lights
Jon asked:


OK I just got my xbox 360 back from repair for three flashing red lights. I took it out of the box and tried to plug it in though i was having difficulty getting the power cord into the box. After struggling with it I turned it on and got 4 red lights. This happened about 3 times. Then all of a sudden it turned green and everything is all good. Should I be worried about those red lights though?

    No those red lights are form the video cable, it might not be plugged in all the way, do not fear!

    no you shouldn’t cause those 4 lights means that the cables were not connected as directed… 3 lights means your 360 needs repair (the famous ring of death) one red light means that is overheating

    dont worry dude…..the four red lights mean that your cables arnt in correctly, you have a bad connection or you have unplugged a cable after the xbox was turned on…..wanna freak a friend out…..unplug a cable after he turns his box on…..it wont hurt it at all, but the look on the friends face will be priceless…..lmao…..=O)
