ive got it myself i think if thats the correct one, its the cause of the AV cable, plug it out and plug it in, if it still doesnt work plug it out, wipe the metal part with a soft cloth then plug it in and it should work, thats what i did

It means that something in the system itself is causing an error message and red ring lights to appear....

I sent mine back twice to Microsoft(didn't get the extended warranty with FS)...I gave up on the 3rd time of getting the 3 red lights around and fixed it myself....I used the video guides from x-box360redlightfix.com and as it states - it' due to overheating . I highly recommend just fixing it yourself - it was quite easy...I waited 4 weeks each time to get my xbox back from Microsoft each time. That was time well wasted....BILL GATES I WANT MY TIME BACK!!

remove the harddrive and reinsert it it works for most 1 part ring problems and some others
