Yes, 2 red lights is overheating but what you can do is give it a good vacuum out and that might work for you. Make sure that it is unplugged first!

Then if that does not work you will need to send it in for repair. You can either do this yourself or send it in for repair.

I would strip the 360 down and check your fans, ive seen this happen before and the fans are faulty.

it could also mean the start of the 3rrod and lead free solder cracking too.

Turn on your machine and look at the back of the console to see if the fans are spinning around.

the 2 segments lighting up means the xbox is over heating either open it up and clean all the dust out or try vacuming out the dust through the vent holes, but if its realy dusty opening it up will be you best option, hope this helps.
