When I was just hooking up my 360 at my dorm room today, I turned it on and it showed the RROD. Two important things were different from a real Mesquite-bound RROD. First, the 360 didn't actually turn on, as it was emitting no sound from its motors. Second, the RROD displayed almost immediately after I powered it on; if it was a real RROD it would take about 5 seconds or so to show it. Works fine now with the power cord inserted all the way.
I was wondering why it would have happened... ya see in order for this to happen the A/C cord has to be just right - too far in the 360 will operate normally not far enough nothing will turn on at all.
its just a warning light telling u that its not all the way plugged in, it didnt start because if the connections r not all the way in it might damage somethin if some r connected and some r not
wow, u people need to learn ..........4 rings=/=RROD, 3 rings does, u got 4 rings and it means that the chords aren't plugged in completely . Microsoft1234
4 red lights means the A/V cord isn't in im talking about the power cord here

You can also get a false RROD if your power flickers out like it might during a thunderstorm.
