THINGS TO TRY

Disconnect and then reconnect the Xbox AV Pack. Make sure the connections are firmly connected. Turn the console back on, and then examine the indicator light.
If the behavior continues, try another AV pack if one is available.
If this resolves the issue, the original AV pack may not be functioning correctly.
If the behavior continues, it indicates a problem that requires Microsoft to service your console.
