    can you get atorch and check in the side of the machine for the number of inductors there ?
    they are the donut shaped things covered in copper wire
    see if there is two ro three , if ti has two then it is a falcon
    also does it have hdmi

    No its not falcon model,no hdmi ,weird thing now is when I attach the hdd I get the normal lights but no video/sound got a feeling there might be a problem with the avi port as I've tried different cables ,might have to look into it a bit more

    if you have tried different cables , could be the scaler chip , send it back to MS
    I asked if it was a falcon as I have had a couple of these with that problem , the fix was the same as the RROD , it seems to be (though I am not 100% sure) that the red/green combo is the RROD combo of lights for the falcons
    I'd be sending it back to MS straight away mate , especially since you only just got it back from them

    warranty was denied stating that the console has been tampered
