Hey Zomb13 -

Have you tried cleaning off the front of your console lately? It's possible that the "button" is dirty and is registering some touches which would explain the noise and rapid blinking. The blinking could also be your console downloading updates in the background
or asking you to check for an update of some sort.

Barring that, you can absolutely try a
factory reset on your console because there is a method that allows you to keep all your games and apps. I'd give it a shot as it certainly can't hurt anything.

Good luck!

When holding the sync buttons on the console and controller, the light blinks on the controller as if it is going through the syncing but then the light will start to blink steady or rapidly.........I did insert new batteries.....

You know when the console is on there is also a green light with the red light

If the red light is seen on the front of the console where the green light normally is, in the power button, that means you could have a hardware failure. The red light from the side as you shown does not mean that, it's most likely the DVD laser as I said.

Hi Kai Que,

On the console, is it blinking or solid red light? A blinking red light on the power button means that your console doesn’t have enough ventilation. The red light will continue to blink until the console cools down. If solid red around the power button,
it is possible that you will need to replace the console.

On Power supply, flashing orange, solid red, or no light: Your power supply may need to be replaced. Try the following solutions:

Plug your console’s power supply into a different electrical outlet. Do not use a surge protector.
If the power supply light is solid red or flashing orange, unplug the power supply and let it cool for 30 minutes. Then, plug the power supply back into the outlet.

If your power supply light is still flashing orange, solid red, or unlit, your power supply needs to be replaced. You can
order a replacement Xbox 360 power supply from our Xbox Online Service Center. Console registration is required to replace the power supply under warranty (the power supply warranty
is the same as your console warranty).
