xbox not working

Hi Guys:

Has anyone ever had a problem with their xbox that there isnt video?
It started now and again but not it's just constant black screen with the sound playing in the background.

Faulty AV cable? If you've got friends with Xboxes, try borrowing one.

Or try turning the telly on. :P

lol telly is on :P

yea first thought it may have been a faulty AV cable. Borrowed someone else's cable but still the same problem :(

Well, Microsoft has an article on the issue here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916158

Otherwise, it's possible the video port has fried. In that case, I'd (wickedly) recommend force-RRODing the console, and getting a swap-out. That's assuming it's still under warranty.

sigh....that's really annoying...since this is a replacement unit already
i find it mind boggling that the swapped out console does not have a standard 1 year warranty :O

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed about that too. :/

i don't quite understand how they can justify not giving a standard 1 year warranty on a new box.
the worst thing is that the 3 year RROD warranty remains from the date that you purchased the original console! :O

Try a different output method. If you have a HDMI/DVI capable monitor, try plugging it into that. May get to squeeze some more life out of your 360.

or sell it and get a playstation!

i dont think a non working xbox will fetch a decent price :D
