go onto you tube and put in the same fault. you will get lots of videos back telling you exactly how to fix it.. i did and my sons works a treat now after spending £4 on Ebay and doign what You tube tells you carefully.

Check the light on the power adapter.
Red = Power supply too hot, too much current. Wait for it to cool or try another socket.
Orange = Disconnected or faulty power supply, faulty console. Replace consle or power supply.
Green = Hardware failure. Send console for repair, or buy a new one. That would be cheaper and quicker when it comes to Microsoft and XBOX.
