So, I just got my RGH slim today in the mail.... Plugged everything in, turned it on..... and nothing! the light went on saying the Xbox was on but after that nothing. Nothing showed up on my screen at all... I'm just wondering if im missing something that I should do? If any of you can help it would be much appreciated I want to know that i didn't just waste 300$

That's how RGH works. Didn't you do any research before spending $300?

Yeah not sure if I made that clear but the light goes on and I can see the fan turning but there is absolutely no video I tried hdmi, HD components and the av cable that came with the Xbox and nothing made it work.

Give it some time, RGH consoles can boot from 1 second - 3 minutes.
I waited for 5 minutes and still nothing I'm even waiting as we speak

I bought it off some guy on EBay (yeah I know not the best idea)
udumb. Next time get it from somebody on 7s who is trusted. Either you need to flash your nand, or it is taking time to start up.

How do I flash a NAND and if I mess it up will it turn into an expensive paperweight?

On the inside I only see a red light which can't possibly be good
The red light is good, it means that the hardware is inside. It is possible that the switch on the CR is set to program rather than execute.

If you mess up you will have to send it to somebody that can do it, and you will be charged probably around $20.

How can I change it to execute?

At this point I don't trust anybody to send it to so I guess I'll try myself or I'll try everything and that as a last resort

You would have to open it up. If you don't want to mess with anything inside, or the coolrunner is not programmed or anything else, you could send it to me. I am a trusted member with +7 positive feedback. I would not charge anything but the price to ship it to me and back.
