Flashing Error Codes with Outer Ring (red ring of death)
This refers to the outer ring color that is displayed around the DVD eject button on the Xbox.
Note: this may not apply if your box has been ’Modded’ either with a chip or ’softmod’.
- Solid Red, indicates system is overheated or possible hardware failure.
- Flashing Green, bad bios load.
- Flashing Red-Orange, bad video output, could be damaged hardware.
- Flashing Red-Green, The MCPX chip is overheating or damaged. If the problem is intermittent, try placing a heatsink on the MCPX and cleaning out your Xbox (Note: the MCPX chip is the one with the nvidia logo on it.
- Flashing Orange, if you’ve modded it may be a solder splash or damaged trace also overheating.
- Flashing Orange-Green, no Audio/Video pack installed. check the cable for proper installation, if using the High definition pack revert to the standard cable.
- Solid Green with no audio or video, this is probably a problem with audio settings. try to reboot your Xbox with a standard A/V cable instead of the High Definition A/V cable.
- Xbox boots three times and displays a flashing Red-Green usually means your mod chip is installed incorrectly
