Ok, well I have had my xbox 360 for over a year and I have never had any problems with it. Well, a couple of weeks ago I turned it on, and I didnt get any video. The 360 was running, there was no red lights or anything, but there was just no video on my tv. So I called microsoft support and they told me I should try getting a new AV cable. Well, I ordered a new AV cable, and just got it in the mail today. I hooked it up and turned on the 360, and still no video! Have any of you had this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it? I really do not want to send in my 360 to get it fixed, because I would not get it back in time for Halo 3! But if thats what I have too do,I guess I will do it, but is there any way I can fix it myself?? I am sure its not a problem with my xbox. It is running just fine, and there is no red lights...So I really dont know hwat the problem is.

Ok, well I just had my friend bring his av cable over, and I hooked my 360 up with his av cable, and it worked! So the only explanation is that the brand new cable that I bought must be faulty..Grrrrrr

Dude, I'm having that same problem, I turned on my 360 this afternoon and the video wouldn't work but the sound did. I played halo2 perfectly last night, but now it doesnt work. You said you got a new AV cable and it didnt work but your friends did. Did you get an official xbox brand AV or a third party brand. I just want to be sure that it is the cable not the console because I dont want to purchase another console, I need help
