I went to play my 360 the other day, and I could hear the sound, but there was no picture... it said something like "no signal" on my tv. I thought maybe the av cables in the back just came loose.. so I check them, they were pushed all the way in, and I fiddled with them to make sure they were. I checked the back of my xbox also.. everything connected.

4 red lights come on.. I guess like the 3 lights of death, only it was 4. I check in my manuel and it says it's a connection problem with the av cables into the back of the 360. I re connected the cord but no luck.

Where do I go from here? How do I know if it's my av cables or my 360 thats not working? Do I have to send it in now?

Its most likely the cables. Replace them and keep the receipt, if that not the problem, return the cord and get a return authorization number from ms to send your 360 in.

Don't worry about that though, its the cord.

Try unplugging all the cables first and plugging them back in. That might fix it

That's probably the best idea unless you don't have a friend with a 360
