Three sections flashing is defined as specific hardware failure; it's internal.
This same thing happened to me:
Unplug every cord and your HD and plug them all back in; try again.
If it doesn't work, unplug your HD and try again.
While these steps usually won't work with this failure, it doesn't hurt to try.
If it doesn't work this time, you will have to send it in to the repair center.
1-800-4-myxbox
1-800-469-9269
You'll have to go through the automated voice, and connect with a live person, give them your info. and have them send a box.
They will give you a confirmation number that you'll need to write down on a sheet of paper and tape to the xbox itself. They'll tell you to send it bare: no HD, no cables, no controller, no custom faceplate(if you had one).
This will take 2-8 weeks.
Should you forget to tape the confirmation number (I did)- they will have registered it to your name if you already haven't. You will simply be sent a replacement box. Mine took 2 weeks, they say 6-8 weeks.
In the meantime, enjoy life on the forums for a while, or whatever.
Good Luck! ~Mana
