Xbox 360 E71 error

My xbox 360 cannot boot up, it just shows the logo briefly and then suddenly shows the red dot on the power button (center red dot) and an error message (E71):

System Error. Contact Xbox Customer Support.

The brief background of my problem is that I took the console to a local guy purporting to be good at updating jtag/rgh console dashboards. It has not worked since.

Checking on the Official Xbox support site, your hard drive may be broken.

Try removing the hard drive and then starting your Xbox 360 again to see if it fixes it.

If removing the drive does not fix it, there is a different hardware error and you'll have to send it in for repair to Microsoft. Note that if your Xbox is modded, there's a chance Microsoft won't agree to repair it depending on the mods installed.
