So I bought an original Xbox a couple weeks ago while on a trip and when I went back home I decided to plug it in, turn it on and then I discovered that it will turn on turn off turn off and then off again and make a loud noise when it does that and when it turns on it’s blinking green and red while making rudding noises

I assume you bought it used and not new from a store?
Assuming that's the case, not really anything you can do and you were probably ripped off. The OG XBox isn't even supported anymore, so afaik you can't even pay to have it repaired unless you take it to a repair shop that isn't sanctioned by XBox. And in that case, you're likely better off just buying another OG XBox, since the costs of repairing it would very likely be more then buying one outright.

Because there’s a lot of dumb people on the internet.
Anyways, your best bet is a retro game shop. They normally have repair services. A normal repair shop may not have the parts needed for replacement.
My personal preference is the retro game shop, because I feel like they respect the gaming platform.
