# Step 1 Turn off your XBox 360 console and unplug it from the electrical outlet. Unhook all cables from your console. # Step 2 Error codes reading "E67," "E69" or "E79" signify a malfunction in the hard disk drive. Carefully remove your hard disk drive. Clean the contacts with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Reinstall the hard drive and reboot your system. The error is fixed if no red light reappears. You will need to buy a new hard disk drive if the one red light is glowing again. # Step 3 Error codes reading "E64," "E65" or "E66" indicate a problem with the DVD drive. Remove the DVD drive and clean the contacts with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Hook the DVD drive back up and close the eject door. Make sure the cable is connected properly to the console. Reboot your console. You will have to purchase a new DVD drive if the red light is still glowing. # Step 4 An error code reading "E81" might indicate a failed update. Turn off your XBox 360 console and turn it back on while holding down the sync button on the console. This should fix all failed update errors. # Step 5 The one red light error might lie in the memory interface if no error code appears on your screen. Remove the memory and gently clean it with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Put the memory back into the slot and turn your system back on. The error is fixed if the glowing red light is gone.
Great info m8, just came across a bit more so thought it may help :lol: How to get the Secondary error code The E-code only shows up if you get 1 red light, otherwise there is no video output and you cant see it(for 2, 3 and 4 red lights)...(in rare cases it doesn't even show up if you get 1 red light, proceed with the secondary error code then) The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a "hidden" error code * Turn the Xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing. * Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button. * The LED's will now blink the first number in the code (as described below). * Release the eject button and press it again. * The LED's will now blink the second number of the code. * Release the eject button and press it again. * The LED's will now blink the third number of the code. * Release the eject button and press it again. * The LED's will now blink the forth number of the code. * Release the eject button and press it again. * The LED's will go back to the 3 red flashing lights. You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash. Here is how you interpret the LED's to get the code number: * All four lights flashing - 0 * One light flashing - 1 * Two Lights flashing - 2 * Three lights flashing - 3 You will for example get an error code like 0102 if you get 4 lights after the first click, 1 after the second, 4 after the third and 2 after the fourth click of the eject button... hope this also helps
