Can some one help with this. Any answer will be appreciated.
What Do Xbox 360 Red and Green Lights Mean?
What do Xbox 360 red and green lights on the front of your console mean? Here's a clue- they don't mean that Christmas is approaching. In fact, these warning lights are more the complete opposite of Christmas for any Xbox 360 gamer, as they indicate serious problems with your console. In this article you are going to learn what these lights mean, as well as what you need to be able to fix them yourself so that you can get back to gaming once again as quickly as possible.
If sections one, two three and four of the power ring are red (section one being the top right-hand corner, and then working clockwise around) then the AV cable cannot being detected by your Xbox 360. Unplug the AV cable then re-insert it. If this does not work then substitute another AV cable in, and this will fix the problem.
If sections one and three are flashing red, then your Xbox 360 is overheating. Turn it off and leave it for an hour or so to cool down. To prevent this you should keep your Xbox 360 in a well-ventilated area. Don't put it on any soft surface that may block the ventilation openings, and don't put it near any heat sources. If you live in a warm climate, it may pay to purchase a small stand mounted fan and use this to blow air onto your Xbox 360.
If sections one, three and four, or if only section four is flashing red, then your console has experienced a general hardware error. This problem is most commonly referred to as the "red ring of death" (although a red light in section four actually codes for the e74 system error)
A general hardware failure is a serious problem, but you can fix it yourself. You will need basic tools such as screwdrivers, a flat surface to work on, around and hour's spare time, and video repair instructions to guide you through the process to fix your Xbox 360 red and green lights problems.
The frag might indicate a failing modchip. are you able to boot from the modchip or from the ms bios? Which one doesn't work? You should be able to boot normally from your ms bios if your mod chip is failing.
You do not get an error code/message when it blinks? if so, which one. If it only flashes (frags), then you should check your d0 point. you might have a continuity problem!
You're other xbox will not help you out.
HERES THE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM!! ARE YOU GUYS READY!!.. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO..

ITS FUNNY RIGHT WELL I JUST OPEN THE XBOX AND EVERYTHING TO FIND OUT 2HRS LATER THIS IS WHY!!
THE PROBLEM IS YOUR POWER CORD HAS A SHORTAGE LEAVING THE MOTHERBOARD TO NO CORRISPOND CORRECTLY DUE TO POWER ISSUES!! TRY IT!
OR
This also happens when an Xbox has been chipped incorrectly if you know anything about electronics open the Xbox up and see if there is a chip with around 12 wires soldered to the board that could be a problem ??
