i was walking to the store about 3 blocks from where i live and find a xbox reguler in the side of the store.  i already have one so i go to see if it works. when i play it it blinks green 3 times then goes red and green how do i fix this?

Have you plugged in to a TV and does anything show up on the screen?
If so there will be an error Code posted on ur screen. post the error code.
Or If nothing shows up on ur screen then u have a bigger problem.
i have had a xbox that the traces on it roted away so i had to run my own and the xbox was fine. U may have to do the same thing.

A simple google search would have given you the answer.

7 - kernel - HDD timeout

Most of the times, the IDE cable is not properly connected when you see this error. Please reattach the ide cable. Not only to the harddisk drive but also to the dvd drive. ALso try to reconnect the ide cable to the motherboard.

Press pretty hard so it goes all the way in. Make sure it is seated straight and proper in the drives and the motherboard. If you still have an error 7. Try another ide cable. If that won't work try another harddisk. If there is still no go, try to set the jumpers on the rearside of the harddisk drive. Set it to master or cable select.
