Xbox dosent come on just flashes red - Microsoft Xbox 360 Console

Well if they're flashing the hard drive is over heating and you need to get either a new hard drive or a new Xbox.

There's a little button on the front of your 360 and the same button is on the front of the controller. You hit the button on the 360 and the green lights around the power button start to circle. Then you hit it on your controller and the green lights around thexbox guide button start to circle. In a second or two they'll find each other and both will flash at the same time, and it's synced up. I think there's a little symbol of air waves next to the button.
