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)

    “The broadest and most prevalent error requires the most disinterested virtue to sustain it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
