Based on the information you have provided for your model and the issue you are currently having with the red light flashing 4 times, we would like for you to try the steps available below:

  1. Unplug the television power cord from the electrical outlet.
  2. Disconnect all devices from the TV.
  3. Let the television remain without power for 2 minutes.
  4. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet.*
  5. Turn your television on.
* If the television is plugged into a power strip or surge protector, remove it from the power strip or surge protector and plug it directly into the wall outlet. If the issue is resolved, the problem is with the power strip or surge protector and not the television.

Copied from someone else's post. I agree with the steps this person posted.

If this does not work call the manufacturer. You could see how much it would be to fix vs. the cost of buying a new one.

Red Ring of Death: Red Flashing XBOX 360 Lights Explained Common Xbox 360 Red Ring Errors The XBOX has a reported 54.2% failure rate which makes the XBOX 360 gaming consoles' worst "lemon" to date. If you find yourself with the red flashing lights error, --> lg.php?category_id=15&content_type=article&content_type_id=2663399&key_page=682482001924178892&site_id=1&bannerid=11791&campaignid=3153&zoneid=23&loc=1&referer=http%3a%2f%2fwww.associatedcontent.com%2farticle%2f2663399%2fred_ring_of_death_red_flashing_xbox.html%3fcontent_type%3darticle%26content_type_id%3d2663399&cb=8da55f49a0 follow this guide to try and pinpoint the problem with your XBOX 360.

1 Red Ring = Serious Hardware Failure
I f your XBOX 360 has a 1 red flashing light error, you're more than likely in big trouble. The 1 flashing red ring of light can be due to GPU or CPU failure, RAM overheating, a DVD drive error, or some serious problem with your Xbox 360's internal components. The most common 1 flashing red ring lights error is the E74 error. The E74 error is no easy fix for the Xbox 360 and usually has to be repaired by the manufacturer [though some have managed to repair it with the heat gun trick - but be careful]

2 Red Rings = Overheating
Mostly all red flashing lights on the Xbox 360 rings are due to overheating in some way or other, but the 2 red rings singles out overheating as the main issue. When doing the X-Clamp fix the 2 red rings are required to fix the Xbox 360 by overheating the CPU. If you get this Xbox 360 error without doing the X-Clamp fix, you probably just need to let your Xbox 360 cool down for a few hours. Make sure that all vents aren't blocked off and that your Xbox fans are working properly in order to repair this problem.

3 Red Rings = Basic Hardware Failure
The most common error on the Xbox 360 is the 3 red rings - also known as the Red Rings of Death (RRoD). This flashing lights problem is the main cause of Xbox 360's 54.2% failure rate. The 3 red flashing lights can be due to lots of different errors but is mainly due to the X-Clamps in your Xbox 360 and overheating. Fortunately, lots of people were able to fix this issue using the X-Clamp and heat gun fix. Follow this list of error codes to find out the real issue with the 3 red rings because there are quite a few of them.

Red light problem

If you are getting the red light error this is caused by different things depending on how many red lights you having showing up:

1 red light is the display chip overheating

2 red lights is the whole console overheating and you should try and cool it down to fix this.

3 red lights is the most common error and it is caused by the GPU and the CPU overheating, you will need to stop the heat build up.

4 red lights is just the AV cable not plugged in normally.

To fix the 1, 2 , 3 red light error you will need to send it in and they will fix it for you.

The only problem is that this can take about 4 weeks and you will also have to pay out a repair fee to fix the problem.

The other way is to use a good Xbox 360 Repair guide that will show you how to stop the heat build up on the chips.

There are a few of them about but i have put together a list of the top sites HERE.

I hope this helps and if so please rate it so it can help others.

M y Xbox 360 has a red light when i turn it on

Here is the red lights and what they mean:

1 red light is a display chip error and you will need to get it repaired.

2 red lights is the overheating error and you may be able to fix this by cooling down the system as long as no damage has been done.

3 red lights is a hardware error and this is the most common, you will need to get this fixed as it is a hardware failure.

4 red lights is the AV cable that is not plugged in properly.

Now you can fix these by sending it in and they will fix it for you although for some of the errors you will need to pay out $140 in repair fees.

The other way that you can fix it is by using a good Xbox 360 Repair guide and I have put together a review of the best guides HERE.

Resolution adjustment sony kdl37p3020

Hi, the user manual that came with it explains how to do this. Note however that most cable channels probably won't be broadcasting at 1080i, so you won't see much of a difference. You should also be using a component (red green and blue for video, and red and white for audio) or HDMI cable rather than a composite (yellow for video and red and white for audio) cable to get the best possible quality.
