VIDEO TUTORIAL AT BOTTOM OF PAGE* 

Lets Start:

1.Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.

2.Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.

3.The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).

4.Release the eject button and press it again.

5.The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.

6.Release the eject button and press it again.

7.The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.

8.Release the eject button and press it again.

9.The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.

10.Release the eject button and press it again.

11.The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.

Determine your Error:

All four lights flashing - 0
One light flashing - 1
Two Lights flashing - 2
Three lights flashing - 3

0001 power supply problem

0002 Network Interface problem

0003 Power problem could be the PSU could be the GPU/CPU, somehow the console isn't getting clean power from the power supply.

0010 over heating

0011 over heating - If you are receiving this error after disassembling your console make sure to all 8 of the heatsync screws are tightened securely to the board/heatsink holes.

0012 over heating

0013 over heating

0020 (Not yet known, possibly overheating)

0021 DVD Drive Time out - Can be caused by problems with a firmware flash. This is also speculated to sometime be caused by a problem with the southbridge chipset on the motherboard.

0022 GPU Error / GPU Overheating

0023 (not yet known)

0101 (not yet known)

0102 unknown error though it's most likely GPU related literally means the console does not know what is wrong. possibly a short or cold solder joint somewhere. So far there is 1 major theory for what causes most of these errors is that the Ram, CPU, or GPU are not soldered properly to the mother board due either to poor manufacturing or excessive heat up and cool down cycles that stress, weaken and eventually break the soldered connection. 
There are two theories to fixing this one deals with the "X" clamps that hold down the chips. The other involves re-Heating the chips. DO NOT attempt either of these if your console is still under warranty. If your console is still under warranty return it to the store where it was purchased or call MS to have it replaced. I have also heard of limited success by simply switching the AV cable from "HDTV" mode to "TV" mode.
