It might be your console telling you it needs a nap (aka, overheating). Make sure it's in a well-ventilated area so it can cool down.
Are you dealing with internet issues? Sometimes a blinking light signals a connectivity problem. Check your router and Xbox Live status.
Could be a power supply issue. Double-check that your cables are snug and the outlet's working.
Honestly? Blinking light? Just means it's thinking hard – we all have those days.
