Re: 3 red lights
it means RROD "red ring of death"
turn your console on and press and hold the sync button and press eject for times and take note of how many lights flash at a time.
like this
keep the sync button pressed in
press eject = 4 lights
press eject = 2 lights
press eject = 4 lights
"" " = 1 light
then post back up

Re: 3 red lights
Ewwww, I already have the xbox torn apart again. I am seeing if I have something wrong and I also read the thread about the screw could be to tight so i was going to losen those. When I plug it all back in and still have the light I will try and post. Thank you very much for the reply.

Re: 3 red lights
this is your error
0102 Error in the "Digital Backbone" (CPU/GPU/RAM), this is usually caused by a cold solder joint between the GPU and the mainboard.
There are two theories to fixing this one deals with the "X" clamps that hold down the chips. The other involves re-Heating the chips. DO NOT attempt either of these if your console is still under warranty. If your console is still under warranty return it to the store where it was purchased or call MS to have it replaced.
