Today I thought I would just make a quick post to clarify what actually happens to your xbox 360 console when you get the now infamous red lights problem.
Basically, as I have described in other posts on this blog, if you turn your Xbox 360 console on and you get a variation of the red lights as shown in the diagram below then it probably means your machine is experiencing some issues with internal heating.
However, you need to be certain that this is the case before you take the next step.
You could be lucky and it may not be a serious error with your console but rather something as simple as the AV cable not being detected. So before you run back to store waving your receipt and claiming a refund, read your manual thoroughly to be certain of what the problem is.
The illustration below will help you to diagnose your issues:
