Never buy used Xbox 360'*. The failure rate is too high to do that, I'd recommend only buying a new one, they come with a three year warranty from MS.

Appears to be dead.
Seller is giving me a run-around. I'm going to at minmum lose the return shipping ($25 at least)......oh well.
I guess that teaches me a lesson not to buy a refurb. Thinking of either getting an arcade or getting the "premium bundle" now vs a GEN 1 Xbox.
