Hey guys, has anyone ever experienced this problem.
Over the past few days my 360 will decide not to boot. It'll turn on and off no problem but just won't just load the dashboard. The controller and remote both turn it on and the remote turns it off but nothing happens in the ring of light, no error codes, no video, no audio...... NOTHING. Very strange!
Anyone have any ideas? _________________________________________________________ Predtech

Hmm if its not booting up to the dash maybe u did a update or something and it didnt like it ha try this once hold the sync button on the console while it is off and then turn it on while still holding the sync button this would bring it back to default dash if that dont work im not sure then. Maybe unplug it for about a min or so and then replug it in. Maybe your power brick is not working properly what light does that give when you turn it on and that? _________________________________________________________ The one the only Scarface!!

That would be what I would suggest first too, Another thing you can try is unplug everything from the 360 (power cables, internet, video cables, hard drive) and unplug the power brick from the wall. Then after half an hour plug everything in except the hard drive and try that, If it works it should be ok to turn it off and then plug the hard drive in and go. _________________________________________________________ 360-HQ Toolbar | 360-hq Digg news | 360-HQ Active Topics | 360-HQ Boxxet Page | My Setup

Hard drive was something i had already thought of, and it didn't do shit, lol.
I read online that it has something to do with the dvd drive, and removing the drive will make the console boot, but i removed it and got nothing in return. Same problem, so i think it might no actually be the drive but the mobo now. _________________________________________________________ Predtech

You may to try a different set of av cables to see if thats the problem somehow (im 95% sure it isn't but its worth a try). _________________________________________________________

God damn, f!3k f!#k f!3kidy f!#k f!#k. I am tired of this shit already. I just can't seem to get it to boot. I think it's actually dead. Different cables didn't make a difference. _________________________________________________________ Predtech

Thats no good at all pred..
My NTSC console just started playing up a few months back.
It lasted a good 2 years though.. So im saving to get a new M/Board..
Hope you can sort it out man.
If it just keeps not working it may be worth trying to fix it with a XCLAMP.. It could be just the motherboard is warped and the GPU is not contacting with the mainboard anymore.

Id just install a XCLAMP for the hell of it to see if it helps.. Probably wont but its a cheap try..
You are right i guess bro, cheaper than a new damn system, lol _________________________________________________________ Predtech
