Small problem. My xbox refuses to start up. Whenever I insert a disc or
power up my xbox the green light blinks for a few seconds then turns red. No
disc read errors on the screen or anything. The screen stays black.

Any ideas?

It should have something about that in the manual. Otherwise, use
google or microsoft to find what the means.

Is the red light blinking or solid?

From http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/leds.php:

GREEN for half a sec then RED Flashing:
Bad/Corrupted or Empty Eeprom.

SOLID RED:
System overheated , hardware failure , ...
