First thing, read the sticky on "Broken Xboxs". Oh yeah and make sure the AV Cable is plugged in al the way... I see alot of people thinking their Xbox is broken, but the Xbox gives red lights if the AV cable isn't all the way.. I'm sure the sticky has this somewhere anyways good-luck

dont worry bro this has happened to almost every 360 owner

i  will tell u how to fix it

 MAKE SURE U HAVE A WARRANT OR UR *******

if u bought ur xbox 90 days ago or less ur fine 

1. Call microsoft the number is 1-800-4MY-XBOX

2. Go through all the steps until u reach a consultant and tell him/her ur problems.

3. They  will check ur xbox for a warranty and stuff like that

4. give them ur info and if u dont have a warranty get a exteneded one 

5. When your done they will ship u a box and it will reach ur house in about a week(4-5 business days)

6. Take ur faceplate all cords contrtollers nothing attached to ur xbox except ur xbox(unless tehy ask u otherwise)

7. When the box comes put ur 360 in there and read the instructions and put the new shipping sticker on it.

8. When ur done call Puraltor and arange a pick up(the number will be on a sheet inside teh box they ship u )

9.They will send it and you will get your xbox in about 2 weeks or less.

10. Done :) 

11. if u have any probelms call the microsoft company and ask them how wur xbox is doing.
