Answer 1

Your xbox360 is NOT broken.

2 lights indicates overheating, so just try to get some proper cooling to the system. You may also invest in an intercooler that goes on the back of your 360. Runs about $30 and is pretty standard for most gamers.

Answer 2

why spend money on an xbox 360 when you can get it for free? just go to this site and complete a few quick tasks and they'll send you one - at no charge!

Answer 3

if its only 2 lights then at least you dont have the red ring of death, i had to buy a new one.

i recommend calling customer service number for xbox

Answer 4

disconnect from your tv wrap in two towels and let it run for 20-30 minutes then shut it off and try it out again
