Kids were playing fine then switched xbox off to change to another game. when they switched back on we had no sound or picture. tried swapping with another cable but still the same. tried on another tv but still same. xbox comes on and 2 green lights are shown for the 2 controllers. help
I had the same problem. I almost open the xbox since I was desperate. Turned out to be the HDMI cable. I get a gold connector and worked fine. Hope this help.I had the same problem.

this will happen depending where you got your xbox from and where you are located.
There are multiple types of TV signals. Typcially two are used NTSC and PAL. If you have a TV and are in a country that supports PAL and you purchased say an XBOX from america then you will have a black and white screen or no game at all. Same thing goes if you are in america and say purchased the xbox on ebay from a perosn in europe. You will get a black and white game cause your TV is NTSC and not PAL.
Many game units will support BOTH signals but are locked to a signal of the region the console was intended for sale on.
Not sure what you are talking about, this is a bit vague..... try this, on the back of the xbox there is a switch on the plug that goes to the TV, if the TV is not HI-DEF and you are using just the red + white + yellow plugs, then switch to TV, if your using the red + white + blue + green + red then switch to HDTV. Your Son could have also switched a setting on the dashboard to use HI-DEF, if he did, maybe switching back the TV mode on the TV out plug may correct the issue. Kids love to play with things! lol...
this happens a lot. what happend is the red white and yellow wires that you put in the back of your tv. the red one is not in the right area or
there is a switch right were you plug in that cable with the red whit and yellow cables to your xbox that says hd or normal switch that to whatever your tv is
that is nothing to do with the update iv done one for nearly every other game.
try to manually find the xbox through your tv i have to find it myself all the time. it looks like the auto find on your tv has changed, but it shouldnt be anything to do with the xbox.
already solved it. thanks. i couldn't see the xbox settings blade because of the blank screen so switched my component cable to the tv setting instead of the hdtv setting, then i could see the dashboard in non-hd and switched the resolution to 720p while simultaneously switching the component cable back to the hdtv setting. that worked.
