If red lights are flashing, there's an internal problem with your Xbox, if it is under warranty, return it to Microsoft. If your warranty has expired, I do the repairs for a small charge and guarantee the work for 3 months.

If you would like a repair and are in the UK, the charge is £20, If your in South Yorkshire I can collect or anywhere else in the UK, is by delivery only, Royal Mail charge £7.06 for this. If you require my assistance, please call 07989489828

ring of death its called try this it worked for me. open up your 360and completely remove inner circuit board from plastic frame.you will need certain tools for doing this. remove the two heat sink matrix inside. you will see two mpu chips. cover both with heat sink compound and replace matrix. replace all screws and replace the fan etc. if you cant get any heat sink compound try using copper grease which you can obtain cheeply from most car auto shops. as i said this has worked twice for me already and now doing the third one. good luck.
