(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); was booting up mw3 and set my cid with ccapi then it beeped 3 times and crashed and had a blinking red light. the system will cut on for about 3-8 seconds with lights flashing green and yellow then beep three times and shut down again with the red light blinking. i cant access safe mode as it shuts off too quickly to get to it and i cant eject the disc either. my firmware is 4.50 ITA non cobra not sure if that matters but if so there it is. any help would be appreciated. Crying

Your console has overheated..

Change thermal paste (arctic silver 5) and hope for the best. If it doesn't work, the console will need a reflow, a reball, or to be replaced Sal

Sorry I guess I shouldn't have jumped the gun to say it overheated, but it has ylod'd for sure..or taken damages in that area..

You could try another known working hdd to see if anything comes up, if not then it is suffering from overheat/lack of connection under the chip(s)..
