So what do I need to do, just contact them via telephone or something and they will send me a box to ship it in?
Go to Xbox.com and see their support section. You’ll have to register your 360 if you haven’t already and then you’ll fill out this on-line form about what’s wrong and etc. Then you’ll get a box in the mail with postage to send it back and you just mail it off and wait for a bit.
For those who don’t know, the four segments of a ring around the power button can serve as a diagnostic indicator. They normally glow green when everything’s functioning correctly and will indicate what controllers are currently on and active. However, when you boot up your box and they flash red, that means there is something wrong with it.
Three Red Rings (the Red Rings of Death) means there’s been a critical hardware failure, mainly involving the critical components of the motherboard, video card, etc. -> http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/nxe/…tegory=hardware
That gives you the low down to double check to confirm if that’s indeed the problem and what to do to fix the problem.
Other reference.
1 Red Ring – I believe has to do with a memory problem. So a corrupted or unreadable hard drive or a memory unit is to blame.
2 Red Rings – Overheating. Fans have died or you just have it in a poorly ventilated area.
4 Red Rings – Problem with A/V cable or not detecting the cable at all. Make sure it’s plugged in all the way. If it is, buy new cable.
