Xbox 360 power light is blinking

[annihilation]

I'm not downloading anything and my controller wasn't even on.
I'm was just watching a movie on Netflix when all the sudden my Xbox 360s power light kept blinking.

Does anybody know what this means?
I have no disk in the tray btw

E: I opened and closed my disk tray and that seemed to have stoped it.
I didn't even open my disk tray.

Why did it do that on its own?

[NullZero]

Weird, the only times I have seen it blinking, is if it is downloading a file in the background (after pressing the power button), and when opening/closing & loading a disc - all of which you have said you haven't got/done.

[annihilation]

I went to the Dashboard and it said the disk tray was opening.
I'm still confused as to why it did this on it's own.

I hope I don't have to send it in. My warrenty expired about 3 months ago.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

The power supply, or the box itself?
If its the power supply, it means the supply is dying.

If it is the the xbox itself, it could be that the drive is dying, the motors are dying, or that the wires inside are loose.

[annihilation]

It was because the disk tray was opening but it didn't open.
I won't have $100 to fix it untill Janaury.

Microfuck said the Xbox is desinged to open and close automatically.

Wonder if I can find someone on Craigslist to fix it for less money.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I could fix it for 5$ >.>

[annihilation]

I could fix it for 5$ >.>

Seriously?

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Yes, I could, easily, I got like 5 spare dvd drives, and a few mobo's lying around.
It's probably either that the motor's are messed up, or some other, small things.

[annihilation]

I'll keep playing it untill it does it again.
If it does it again I guess I'll ask if you could do it.

Have you ever fixed a users here Xbox?

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

No, due to me being away from most of the people here (massachusetts)

[annihilation]

God damnit :saddowns:
Maybe I'll find someone closer.

[paladin]

Morris Code. Its communicating with you. Listen.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Who's Morris?

[annihilation]

Would a bad motor cuase it to open by itself with no disk in it?
It just did it again.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

It opens by itself?
There is a possibility that it is a short, I've actually seen this once before, but I never was able to fix it (as the xbox got aids)

E: from what I've heard, it could possibly be that the metal part of the spindle has broken off, and needs to be reglued.

[annihilation]

I'm better off buying a new one, huh?

Yeah, it opens by itself but the tray doesn't open. The light just flishes and opening and closing the tray stps it.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

If I were you, I'd either get someone from craigslist to check it out, or do it yourself, if you plan to do it yourself, contact me on msn or aim and I can help you out with it.

[annihilation]

Do you know where I can get a new disk drive?

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Ebay.
You don't need a new disk drive, just to reglue part of the metal spindle

[annihilation]

I don't know if I should do it myself and void my remaining e74 warrenty or wait till I get the money and send it in to repair.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

If I were you, I'd wait for it to die in some other fashion, then send it in for that.

[Hotrod]

Who's Morris?
Morris was a television cat who sold cat food, one of our greatest military minds:downs:

[Heathen]

No, due to me being away from most of the people here (massachusetts)

I live in massachusetts

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Really?
nice, what area?

[Heathen]

I'm a liar. I dont.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I'm a liar. I dont.
