OK guys if you get no picture but your getting sound this will work. Wrap 2x towels around the console until it overheats and the red flasing lights, Once this happens turn the power off at the mains for 5 seconds then power your console back up and the picture should be back.ONLY DO THIS IF YOU DONT WANT TO PAY FOR RE-PAIRS.

I am so pissed with xbox. after 2 weeks of having i had the same problem, Black screen and still sound but atleast i found 2 ways people can fix this. 1:do the towel trick 2:leave your xbox 360 on without av cable. both ways turn off the 360 automatically after 10 mins. if you did the towel trick,let your 360 cool down and if you left the 360 on for 10 mins, turn it on again and hello xbox 360 dashboard.

Please note most of the time if you put HD the same thing will happen so i would stay with composite for a while

My elite just bit the dust, picture freezes, then lines, then video out and no sound, i waited 1 year after release date to purchase mine, knowing Microsoft would have all the bugs worked out, i guess not, mine is out of warranty, and the firmware modded at xtreme 1.51, so i can’t send it back for repairs, tryed different power brick i had laying around, (nothing), switched out the HDMI cable,(nothing), i have 32 game systems, my neo geo, turbografx, all nintendo, all sega,all sony still work, to name a few.

I repair RROD’S, but can’t figure this out, at least i could repair that!, all of the lights are still green, but i’m quite sure if the RROD REARED IT’S UGLY HEAD, it wouldn’t make a bit of differents if i repaired that, the video is the problem, it’s a hell of a system, the design flaw is that it was made like a computer, and it was designed to fail, so you can purchase another, and that is the ugly truth.
