This error was soon nicknamed the "Red Ring of Death", echoing Windows' Blue Screen of Death error. Three flashing red lights around the Xbox 360 power button instead of the one to four green lights indicating normal operation represent an internal problem that requires service. The three red lights on the Ring of Light indicate that a General Hardware Failure error occurred. There has been legal action taken attempting to hold Microsoft responsible for the Xbox 360's failure rate and provide compensation for those affected. Since its release on November 22, 2005, many articles have appeared in the media portraying the Xbox 360's failure rates, with the latest estimate by warranty provider SquareTrade to be 23.7% in 2009, and currently the highest estimate being 54.2% by a Game Informer survey. There are also other issues that arise with the console, such as discs becoming scratched in the drive and " bricking" of consoles due to dashboard updates. However, many of the issues can be identified by a series of glowing red lights flashing on the face of the console the three flashing red lights (nicknamed the " Red Ring of Death" or the " RRoD") being the most infamous.
