Microsoft Xbox 360 problem

Question

The 360 doesn't show the picture on the screen yet I can hear the sound but my TV guy who knows a lot about the set up of TVs only said it may well be a problem with the 360, Ive heard of the red ring but not this one. Cables are definatly connected and the TV is on the AV1 as it always has been - for some reason it just went off.

Answer 1

On the av cable, it maybe switched to HDTV instead of TV or vice versa

Answer 2

That's weird actually i had never heard about, once I saw in a TV that the image was like about yo blur or something but I guess i was a TV problem, I hope you can find the solution quickly, I would suggest you to send to warranty if you still have the appropiate time

Answer 3

It's the RROD, just without the red rings! Basically the precursor to a full on RROD. I've had this too many times to mention. The GPU has probably lifted off the motherboard enough to cut the signal to the TV but not to show an error code.

MS have extended the warranty for a 3 red ring error so you could ring them and say 'sometimes it shows 3 red lights, other times it looks like it's working but no pic' then they'll fix it for you.

If it's out of warranty/been opened then I sell x-clamp replacement kits on ebay.co.uk for £4 + p&p which should sort the issue (has done for 1100 others!) All it is is 8 bolts, 16 washers, 8 spring washers and thermal paste to replace the rubbish thermal pad MS have. + an easy to follow guide which takes you through the whole process. And when the kit is fitted it bolts the heatsinks down so they can't lift off again like they do with the original x-clamps. Sorted! :)
