Error Message:
[All four lights around the Xbox 360’s power button flash red.]
Translation:
The Xbox 360 comes with a ring of four LEDs (light-emitting diodes) around the Power button and another four LEDs around the controller’s Guide button. Under normal circumstances, the lights glow green to indicate how many controllers are connected to the console and which position on the console each controller occupies. These lights also serve to help you troubleshoot problems. According to Microsoft, if all four lights around the Power button flash red, this may indicate the Xbox’s A/V cable is not properly attached to the A/V port on the back side of the console. Another reason for this error is that the console simply fails to detect the A/V cable.
Solution:
First, make sure the A/V cable is properly connected to the console. The widest part of the A/V cable’s connector should nearly touch the back of the console. If the error persists, turn off the console, remove the A/V cable, reinsert the A/V cable, and then turn the system back on. If the lights continue to flash red, clean the A/V connector with a clean, dry cloth and try again. As a last resort, try a different A/V cable to see if your cables are the problem. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft’s customer support. For online support, visit www.xbox.com/support. If you’re located in the United States or Canada, you can call 1-800-4MY-XBOX (1-800-469-9269) for telephone support.
