My Xbox 360 has a solid red light and won't turn on

Hello Shane,

Unfortunately this is what many people in the xbox community have nicknamed as the “red ring of death”. This usually means that something internally is not functioning properly. Sometimes this light will go off when nothing is actually wrong, but since
you are saying that the console wont turn on, I’m sorry to say but you might just need to get a new console. Another option would be to take it to a local hardware store to fix it, but you could also upgrade to one of the newer xbox systems which have xbox
360 backward compatable games. If you would like like to look at the list of current xbox 360 backward compatable games here is the link to Microsoft’s list: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility I
wish you the best and hope you are able to make the best of this issue

kind regards,

.

Hello Shane,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. We recommend going over the

flashing light solution and see if any of them help. If not then most likely the console will need to be replaced. We no longer support repairs on the Xbox 360 or original Xbox one consoles. Make sure you are also plugging the power cords directly into
a wall outlet.

Thanks,

Brad

That is typical of an internal hardware failure. You will have to get it repaired or replaced.

Sorry to hear it. The red light is usually associated with a hardware issue. You should check at https://devicesupport.microsoft.com to see if your console is eligible for a repair. However, you may want to consider a newer console. The 360's are no
longer being manufactured but you may still find some in your local gaming store. If you decide to move on to an Xbox One there are some 360 games that are backwards compatible
