call microsoft if it is indeed an elite. they kinda freak out and help elite owners faster than regular owners because the elites are not supposed to red light lol

the 3 red lights indicates a problem with your power supply, either the cord or internally, the 4 rings is when it's completely shot...fyi...

@neverscope - orly? i though 4 rings was the fake one? hmm...guess i r mistaken....maybe thats the "RROD" with the 3rd players light off.....idk...in some GI mag it showed the diff from the actual RROD and the "RROD"
@kidd - except maybe a new keyboard with no caps lock or shift button....

yeah taco but that would enable him to turn it off...which I don't think he is capable of doing.

Three red rings with an amber light on your power brick is power supply. three red rings with a green light on your power brick is the fatal error.
4 red rings is a loose A/V cable.
Neverscope, do not put an FYI in your post if your info is not accurate please.

I think it's the massive run on sentence that makes the caps seem worse here.
hahaha yeah, i thought the same thing after posting.
there's been maybe 3 or 4 times over the past year where the power will go out for a split second and my 360 displays 3 red rings. freaks me out everytime.
