   Note The cable often meets some slight resistance before being fully inserted. Not fully inserting the cable will result in either all four lights flashing on the ring of light, or may simply result in no video on the screen. The cable is fully inserted when the largest part of the connector is nearly touching the console's case.
3. If the four flashing red lights continue to flash, try wiping the metal area of the AV pack with a dry, lint-free cloth. The metal area is the end that plugs into the console. Clean and wipe the metal area thoroughly, and then try the AV Pack again.
4. If the AV cable is correctly connected but the four red lights are still flashing, substitute a different AV cable if you have one available.
5. If the four red lights continue to flash after you follow these troubleshooting steps, the Xbox 360 console may have to be repaired. Contact Xbox Customer Support. For more information about how to contact Xbox Customer Support, visit the following Web site:
