right this is a wierd one so read carefully lol ...

my son complained he got 3 red lights on his Xbox , so i checked all cables checked with and without HD but the 3 lights showed .....

i then too his xbox downstairs to check on my TV and cables (mine worked fine this morning !!!") - again 3 lights on his xbox with n without cables .

at this point its safe to assume the 360 or HD or both are at fault ...... soooooo next thing

next i try my XBOX360 WITHOUT HD to see if an error appears (i couldnt remember ) but no it worked Normal.
put Sons HD in MY 360 , and got 3 red rings , so was leaning to think HD was fucked .

THen i swapped HD putting mine in my own console , NOW I get 3 red lights !!! with or without a HD connected ,

so to recap both xboxs have now 3 red lights and it seems that the problem with one was transfered over to the other ,
anyone know if this has happened before , ??

we have a 3rd 360 but i darn't test eith HD on it incase it fuckes that too

any help appreciated

All I can suggest bro is search xbox.com or microsoft, that sounds a bugger of a problem, hope you get it sorted soon

a migrating red ring? you can keep that away from me. i've never heard of anything like that and can only suggest that maybe there is a fucked pin or something on the hard disc and it's done something to both xboxes you've plugged it into. sounds like a lovely phone call to dehli is on the cards.

also might be a struggle getting content off of the hard disc so i hope there wasn't much arcade games or anything on there.

amazingly , i spoke to some guy at xbox support and despite it being 2 consoles requireing different procedures my total call time was only 20mins !!!!!

getting one replacement and one repair ?!?! one could take a few days the other upto 2 weeks , so diddles crossed for xmas LOL

he said the fault was just a coincidence and nothing to do with the HD - i hope he is right tho coz im moments aways from a chevvy on FIFa LOL (is that all im bovvered about meh!!!)
