Red Light Patterns
For some errors the Xbox 360 system will display patterns of red lights to occur in place of the standard green Ring of Light to indicate what error is occurring.

The patterns are as follows:

4 Red Lights: The A/V cable is either not properly connected to the Xbox 360 system, or is not being detected. [45]

3 Red Lights: The Xbox 360 system is experiencing a hardware failure. Seen frequently in power outages or surges.

2 Left Red Lights: The Xbox 360 system is overheating.

1 Red Light: Will usually come with the 'Contact Microsoft Support' error message, but either way it means a hardware failure.

All four lights periodically flash green on the controller: The controller is not initialised by a device.

My Xbox360 is really weird. First of all I have to reset it at least 3 times before it works. And next to that it sometimes light up all 4 red lights or 1 or 3. But I don't want a new one because I'll have to send the HD with.

[Nukeshell]

They told me to send the HD with because it might be the problem!

[KMB 316]

don't lol just don't send it in.

i mean the hardrive.

[Nukeshell]

But will they send me a working Xbox360 back?

[Minty]

no, just a photo of one ;D

[Nukeshell]

:-\

[Nukeshell]

I mean wouldn't they send me back my fucked Xbox360?

[KMB 316]

yes some people even just send in the console, and get brand new console hardrive, and PSU, and they sell the PSU on ebay for 100+ and the hardrive for 100+, so basically MS fixed there 360 and gave them 200 dollars.

[Nukeshell]

Lol, worth to try.

[scoobydiesel]

the redlights are scary i think, i had 4 the first week or whatever

[Nukeshell]

I got or 1 or 3 or 4 everytime I power on my Xbox360. But somehow it still works after resetting it a few times.

here are the known error codes
The Specific Type of hardware failure can be determined by the error code displayed on the screen.
If the screen is blank or you would like additional information follow the instructions for determining the secondary error code in the section below
E45: Unknown (possibly dashboard update related)

E64: DVD (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=484726&st=0&p=3213514&#) Drive Error.... DVD Timeout, Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc.

E65: DVD Drive Error.... DVD Timeout, Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc. This can also be caused by the tray not being fully closed on boot.

E66: DVD Drive Error: DVD model, or version does not match that of the version expected by the dashboard. OR the firmware version on the drive is older then the firmware version expected by the dashboard. Make sure the DVD drive is of the same version originally included with the console and that it is using either the original firmware included with the console or newer.

E67: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

E68: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it, This can also be caused by a Hard Drive Eprom Error. Some also believe this might be caused by a problem with the fans.

E69: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

E71: possibly a dashboard update error, Check below in the "Console Reset Codes" for instructions. If that does not work there is no other solution and the console must be sent back to MS for repair.

E72: (not yet known)

E73: General Hardware Error: Ethernet port... this error is caused by a problem with the Ethernet port.

E74: AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. If the cable is known to be working then there is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip connected directly to the AV cable) in rare cases it is the GPU.

E76: (not yet known)

E79: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

so looks like an update error?
