Well I just got an elite after my core broke. Don't get me wrong i love my elite but whenever i try to play a video my screen goes blank. I can hear the music but can not see the video, im using HDMI and running my lcd on 720p standard. I'm thinking i got a bad HDMI cable any help is appreciated. I hate returning items especially something as hard to find as an elite. Thank god i have a warrenty on my tv and my new box...HELP

did you try hooking it up, non HDMI...good ole Red White and Yellow, maybe then you'll be able to narrow it down to the HDMI cable

Try doing the basics first. Check all the connections going from your x-box to the tv. I'm not sure if the HDMI comes with it but make sure to check the cable over and look for anything that might be effecting the connection. It could also be your tv that is causing the issue. Try different settings on your tv. Just mess around with things before you give up but don't wait too long on taking it back..

You should be happy and amused. Over here in Australia im looking forward for one and it's not even out yet but sparkling rumours that it will be out somewhere in September. Propably $1000 AUD.

Is it just when you play a video? Can you see your games? If you can see your games then your cable is okay and it's most likely an issue with your TV.

take the online updates on your new elite, mine only showed half of the screen when i first got it, and after the update it worked perfectly.

HSMI cables generally don't go bad, have you tried changing your standard at all? If so you might want to try the updates that someone reccomended.
