ok i tried turning on my xbox today and it wont even turn on, there arent even any flashign red lights....

 i've already sent it in once cuz of red lights and now few months later its broken again, what a reliable piece of crap it is.

so do any of u guys know how to fix this or have u gotten it before? cuz i dont wana send it in to microsoft again, plus i got my gears of war CD in it right now, which is my favorite game and since i cant take it out their prolly gona keep it wen i send my console in

Like, take the cords out from the Xbox, and then put them back in and make sure it's all the way in.  Remove the hard drive also.  If none of this fixes it, then something probably in your Xbox shorted out.  You still have warrenty right?

Aw you beat me to it:(

Anyway, since you said that the power brick does turn on I can only think of two reasons, either the part were the cable plugs to the 360 is damaged, or the cable itself is damaged.

If you have a friend with a Xbox, ask him if you could test it on yours.  If it still dosen't power on, then its your xbox.
