If it said it needed to be serviced then you should have sent it in. But since you opened it your warrenty is void.

Re: XBOX Problem

I had the same problem. I sent an email to tech support and here's what they said:

Thank you for writing to Xbox regarding your console problem.

An indicator light that is flashing red indicates that there is an Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) error and that Xbox cannot
start.

EEPROM is a memory device that does not lose the information programmed to it
when power is lost. This is where items such as language setting, video modes,
audio modes, and game region are stored.

1. Remove all discs from the Xbox console.
2. Turn off the Xbox console and allow it to rest for 30 seconds.
3. Carefully read the Xbox Instructional Manual that came with the Xbox video
game system for instructions about correct use and placement of the Xbox console
to avoid overheating and other problems.
a. Make sure the Xbox console is not located near a heat source. Heat
sources can include the back side of TVs, computers, and monitors, and
electrical devices in general.
b. Make sure the vents are not blocked. There are vents on the left and
right side, and on the rear of the Xbox console. Make sure each vent has at
least six inches of clearance and a path to open air. If the Xbox is inside a
cabinet, try moving it to see if this prevents heat problems.
4. After the Xbox console is set, turn it back on and make sure that you see a
steady green indicator light on the front.
5. If the console continues to flash a red light, it may indicate a problem
that requires the console to be serviced by Microsoft.

Dude that was uncalled for....
The cockroach statement was from a supposed real event that occured.
Even not knowing that, your post was tasteless and inappropriate and you WILL be sent on your way if it continues, count on it.
