Three of the lights on the Ring of Light on the front of your Xbox 360 console flash red

Three lights flash red on the Ring of Light (RoL) on the front of your Xbox 360 console. The upper-right quadrant light is the only light that does not flash red.

You see the following indicator on the front panel of your Xbox 360 console repeatedly flashing on and off.

The three flashing red lights may indicate that there is a hardware problem in your Xbox 360 console or power supply.

Try the following troubleshooting steps.
