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:

    Scientific reason, with its strict conscience, its lack of prejudice, and its determination to question every result again the moment it might lead to the least intellectual advantage, does in an area of secondary interest what we ought to be doing with the basic questions of life.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
