A TechLore "Ask the Experts" Question...

Question:

When I turn on my XBOX, it flashes red around the power button, and I don't get any picture on my TV. I am not sure what the problem is, or how to fix this?

Was surfing and came across this quote at Red Herring...

"IBM's power-based PC chip [which powers the Xbox 360] includes three cores, each with two simultaneous threads and clocking speeds greater than 3 GHz [actually 3.2Ghz], the company officials said at the Fall Processor Forum in San Jose, California. The chip includes 165 million transistors and was created using IBM's 90-nanometer 'Silicon on Insulator' technology."
