Did you have to send yours back for this?

I know I'm known for bashing threads like this, but I'm panicking. I just turned off my xbox, but I realized that I actually needed it to stay down. I pressed the power button over and over, but it wouldn't come on so I thought I wasn't pressing it right because this happens often.

So I get into a better position, press it, and nothing happens. I look towards the back of the xbox and noticed a red glow. Its coming from the power brick.

Make sure your cable is plugged in all the way. And a question for you. how often do you not press the start button right? It's not insanely hard or anything.

Well, My Xbox is low, and I'm tall, so when I reach down I end up pressing on the top of the power button and it usually doesn't recognize it.

I actually only wanted to know what would cause this, I didn't go overboard and act as though the world is over like other posters.  I wanted to see if anyone else had to send theirs back for this. 

sounds like the 360 isn't getting enough power. anyways, yeah, we told you. it will happen to almost every 360 owner.paullywog

 What do you mean you told me.  I always slam people who say 360 breaking is just a myth.  My first 360 broke after 9 days.

I agree. U cant get luckky with this system eventually ull have one crap out on you. 

Any red light on an Xbox 360 is bad news. Action: begin to cry immediately! :cry:

I had the red ring of doom in Feb and only just got it back (Now end of April). So I cack myself at the sight of any red glow anywhere remotely near my 360. Had a fright the other night, come downstairs for water and noticed a red light in the vacinity of my 360. I immediately ran and turned on the light - turned out it was my standby light for my DVD player - Doh! :oops:

of course every system will drop out eventually but even some of the launch consoles which are thought to be the worst of the xbox 360s are still working. i bet there are heaps of people whos 360s work fine but the only reason people think that 360s have a tottal defect is because five or six people say there 360 broke.petrolhead

 Why do you people never believe that 360 breaking exists.
