Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

A dark red screen on a console usually indicates a hardware problem or an issue with the display settings. You can try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Examine the cables: Ensure that all cables are securely connected to your console and your TV or monitor. Check the cables for damage, fraying, or looseness.

2. Reset display settings: If your console was recently updated or the display settings were changed, return them to their default values.

3. Experiment with a different display: Connect your console to a different TV or monitor to see if the problem persists. If the problem has been resolved, it is most likely a problem with your original display.

4. Check for hardware problems: If the preceding steps do not resolve the problem, your console may have a hardware problem.

NO Red ring of death the Green Screen of death is due to people turning off their X1 when it updating. And Yes some disc drive and other thing. Nothing as bad as the RROD thing.

Hello there Fateful

When you try to turn on the Xbox and the light is red does anything appear on the screen?

I have it too! I thought it was normal. It's kind of annoying when your playing in the dark or watching a movie but I don't know how or if you even can turn the lights off or if they are supposed to be red! Anyone else have a clue?

I took out the HDD and gently shake then put it back on.. nothing happens, green dot to red dot in 15 secs after turning it on.. without anything in the screen to show the error.

I took out the HDD without putting it bakc on... nothing happens, green dot to red dot in 15 secs after turning it on.. without anything in the screen to show the error, the same as with HDD.

This is very disappointing, specially that I have been very very careful of the unit as if it is so delicate to touch it, only to end up with the same red dot as others.

Hope you could suggest what else i missed doing.. except to ship it out.
