Xbox 360 when i turn it on instead of the circle lighting green, it lights up red.

Your xbox 360 may not actually be on if there's no green light and your controller won't connect. If pressing the power button doesn't turn on the console/green light doesn't come on then your motherboard may be bad.

That is an indication the box is overheating, a common issue on xbox

Hello meadormitche,

Sadly what you have on your console is the sign that irreparable damage has been done to your Xbox 360 console. The only way to fix it is by either contacting tech support or replacing the system.

There are alternative ways by contacting third parties to replace the damaged parts but this void the warranty and it goes agaisnt the Terms of Service.

Sorry about the inconvinience.
