    I am much more a computer expert than a technical electronic expert; But!; this unfortunately does sound like it could possibly the dreaded "red ring of death". Either that or its most likely a internal hardware glitch of some sort. As for how much; that I honestly could not tell ya; but you should be able to find something on it by doing what else but a google search of course.

    Unplug all cables, give them a clean, put them back, if it doesnt work then its more than likely broken.

    well....the guy knows how to take a hint at least lol.
    And did something happen to the xbox at all? Like it fell or anything of the sort,software related even? Over the years,i have owned and thoroughly used every xbox 360 model to-date and never had a single issue so this is really strange. Mostly there are pre-cursors to these problems,like the console stops reading discs or gives certain errors etc.
    Nothing of the sort happened?

    xbox 360's are the most unreliable consoles ive ever came across, since release between me and the brother we have had 8 xbox's between us ( 6 being his), RLOD is a very common thing. So not really "strange" at all.

    Well my first thoughts are, the red rings occur when the cpu is no longer fully lodged within the thermal paste, to repair it, you must buy new thermal paste, search on youtube there are plenty of tuts:)
