Xbox 360 Technical Problems - Secondary Error Code

Secondary Error Code

Xbox 360's which have a hardware failure will display a secondary error code when the correct button sequence is pushed. To get the secondary error code:

  • Press and hold the "sync" button on your Xbox 360.
  • While holding the sync button, press the eject button.
  • When you press the eject button, a series of lights will flash, either 1, 2, 3 or 4 lights.
  • Release the eject button, and press the it again (continue holding the sync button).
  • Repeat this process to get 4 sets of lights.

    Here is how to convert the lights into a code:

    1 light = 1
    2 lights = 2
    3 lights = 3
    4 lights = 0

    So, for example if you get 4, 1, 1, 4, your error code is 0110. An explanation of the meaning of the error codes can be found here:

Famous quotes containing the words secondary, error and/or code:

    The prime purpose of being four is to enjoy being four—of secondary importance is to prepare for being five.
    Jim Trelease (20th century)

    If the individual, or heretic, gets hold of some essential truth, or sees some error in the system being practised, he commits so many marginal errors himself that he is worn out before he can establish his point.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
    Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
    In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
    And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
    He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
    Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
    The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
    Which holds that Man is naturally good,
    And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
    scourged.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
