hmmm....faulty power brick? It can also means that there's too much voltage going into the brick.








BTW most of the other answers are wrong because they think you're talking about the Red Ring of Death, but you're talking about a red light on the power brick. So it's different.X-box 360 advice?? how to fix red light problem?
Extremely common issue. It's a failure for the decive. I know this is going to suck but don't bother trying to fix it. Have a call to Microsoft.





They'll send you a box for free. Then you'll have to put the xbox in it and send it to them back. They'll return the xbox REFURBISHED. Not new. Meaning the same(possibly not) xbox but repaired.





The process takes about 2-3 weeks.





Maybe there are other ways fix the problem without opening your xbox. Use google, the problem is extremely common. My friend had it two times(yes, he had to send the xbox to microsoft 2 times...). I know about 3 other friends who had this problem as well.
did you connect the AV cable from the 360 to the tv?. make sure all that stuff is connected...if you continue to get red lights then its probably a hardware problem...btw how many red lights are there? if its all 4 flashing it will mean theres a connection error...simply coz you didnt plug everything in right. if its 1 or 3 red lights apearing its a hardware issue





If its that, then you need to contact microsoft and get it sent of for repair
If you mean the ';circle'; on the Xbox (and I really hope this question isn't a joke)... you've got the ';Red Ring of Death';.





Your XBox is fried. Do you have a warranty? I hope so :s.
all i can think of is make sure all connections are tight but call 1800-FORMYXBOX and they'll help you out
