Heyy I am in need of some help my xbox does the flashing green and red thing with nuthing on the screen but i didnt do anything like try to mod it and the game will work sometimes if i keep reseting it but most of the time it just flashs and restarts.

The bad part is it isnt even my xbox i borrowed it and i dont want screw over my buddy

Is it red and green, or orange and green?

It hasn't been modded, and it reads games only sometimes? Mybe the dvd-drive is dying, but then you wouldn;t get a black screen. The screen is black, no error or anything? Is there audio?

[rugby09]

ok it is not modded and it flashes red and green after restarting twice and i can no longer get it to work but when it had worked it flashed red and green so i turned it off and now it wont load nutthing no more.
i get no loading screen of any sort it just stays on my tv's video 2 screen
with no audio

if anyone out there knows what is wrong or has the same problem or knows how to fix it please add my email rugby09_**********com or continue posting here

well, this is new to me. It's not an HDD or dvd-rom problem, because it gives error messages if those are busted. Power seems to be ok. My only guess would be that something on the mobo corrupted somehow. Could be something wrong with the video jack on the board. I have no clue.

would it be possible that is it just the cables and thats why it flashes because there not workin

[Quall999]

Well, it could be, but if you have never opened the box before this problem happened, it is highly unlikely. Something could have also overheated and busted that way.

well, usually those exact same symptions happen when a chip was installed badly, or hasn't gotten any bios on it. Even the pressing the eject tray twice to open it. So, the onboard bios may have been corrupted. This happens but rarely (heat can cause it, even if the fan is fine). A modchip might fix it, but that is not a guarantee. If your friend desides to get one, install it in your xbox first to see if it works. If it does, then just keep it or get another one.

But, that is a generic problem, meaning any broken parts or fried chips on the mobo would cause that problem. You having to buy a new xbox might be just due to bad timing. It was probably going to frag anyways even if you didn't have it.
