I had three of the four red lights on in the circle button.

I searched through the old threads and found a solution from JohnnyAngel77 post. Basically, you just remove the hard drive and turn the XBox on, wrap it up in three towels and let it get hot for 20 minutes. It worked for us!!! It takes a minimum of 20 minutes as we removed the towels too early the 1st time we tried.

wasn't there a problem with the first 360's they came out with didn't they need a bigger fan or something?

It's probably gonna die soon. Contact microsoft, and when it bites the dust, they'll fix or replace it

ya I heard about that they had to recall alot of them

i think thats the sign that it's going to die

If you have to replace the 360, get it from Best Buy, you can get a 60 dollar 2 year warranty and if your 360 dies/shows the red lights of death you can take it back to get it exchanged for a new one no questions asked. The first year you can replace it however many times you need to(my brother and I are on our 7th 360. Yeah, that's right, SIX have messed up on us so far.).

And stay away from those cheesy intercoolers. They can cause fires(kinda ironic, isn't it?), and suck up too much power from the XBox(causing the red lights, since the 360 isn't getting enough voltage to run correctly).

I bought a little fan to put beside mine so it doesn't have a problem overheating(which is most of the causes of the red lights).
