The other day I tried turning on my box to play some COD4 and I was getting a blurry image with major discolorations. I reset it and now it doesn't display at all. I only get sound through my surround sound. I tried hooking it up to a tv with the component cables (I use a monitor and vga cables) and I still only got sound. I brought it back to my room and vaccumed out the vents and it started working again. Soon after I was getting the same problem and It will not display anymore.

If anyone has had similar problems, or knows a way to fix this, any help is appreciated

thanks

Might have gotten damaged from overheating with the vents being dirty and no air circulation. Probably loose glue or a busted solder somewhere. If it was the GPU you ould be red ringed though. Either way it looks like you'll have to send it in to Microsoft. Sorry. :(
