Red Ring of Death

A form of error message on the Xbox 360. The Red Ring of Death replaces the Ring of Light, the green circle surrounded the power button. The red lights indicate a sort of error message and the number of lights and placement of them mean different things. The worst would be three lights flashing, with the top-right not illuminated. In this situation, it means the 360 is suffering hardware failure.

Comparable to the Blue Screen of Death.

Not the red ring of death! Crud, according to the online instructions I need to send my 360 in for repairs.
