Most of the problems are heat related. The xbox's graphic chipset can get so hot that it starts to heat the solder back up and when it cools it cracks. It is called the (RRoD) red ring of death as indicted by the red ring around the power button. Just in case anyone has an xbox 360 or has a son/daughter that does, you can simply add 2 normal case fans to the box of the 360 and it will pretty much take care of the problem. There are videos on utube that can show you how to do it. It is a lot cheaper than replacing a $300 device.
