Xbox 360 screen wont show up (by 44 users)

screen wont show up, nor the sound

when i turn the 360 on all i can see is puple dot an i can hear the sound

my xbox 360 will turn on but on the tv screen i see nothing

the sound works fine but i cant see anything.....ive tried new cables and tvs but nothing works

start up my xbox 360 and i can hear only sound i switch it off again and back on still same thing again i switch it of and on and a get 3 flashing lights!!! red ring of death

i turn on my xbox 360 and the regular sounds are there but the normal start up picture or any picture for that matter is there, only the sound.

Got a new 50 inch plasma, moved xbox to this and worked fine for some time. The colors got all distorted...like way back when your nintendo was set to channel 4 but you had tv tuned to channel 3...then moved it back to regular tv. Days later, no video at all...just audio. Still covered under Best Buy so sent in AV cable. Got new one and still and issue. Guess the whole Xbox is going to have to go back. Odd though, browsing xbox forums and here...this all seemed to start happening May to July 2008. Hmmm.

Theres a little switch on the back of the part that connects to your xbox. try switching it to the opposite side then the screen should show up

same here...my xbox 360 sounds great but wont show up on the tv 

Same when i turn mine on the sound is fine but i cant see a darn thing anyone know what this is?

sound works fine..cant see anything though..tried new cables.. didnt work

i turn my xbox on and the sound works but nothing appears on the screen

i had the ring of death thing and put it in towels and it is fixed but now when we turn it on it wont show up

I turn my xbox on and the sound works fine but the screen just doesnt show up and i dont have the 4 red lights

When the 360 is turned on nothing shows up on the tv screen. I made sure the cables were all correctly connected. And the light for the AV cable source (the part where it is connected to the xbox 360) is red. Please Help!

i turn my xbox 360 on and the screen stays the same i thought it was the cables but when i usually take them out the screen distorts but the screen stays blank and the 4 red lights telling me there is no connection come up, the the xbox works fine it speeds up for the game and i can hear it but nothing on the tv 

I turn on the xbox but its on but wont show on the tv what am i soppost to do?

exactly the same as originaly described audio works fine and i can hear my games starting but cant see anything tried on 2 different tvs in high def and not high def the **** thing about this is i just got mine back 3 days beforehand after suffering red rings

Everytime I turn on my console all I see is white lines running diagonal on the screen.

I turn my xbox 360 on, and everything is working, but it doesnt show up on my tv's. I can hear the game playing on my tv, but i cant see it. I never had this problem before. I even bought a new wire for it. What do i do?

this system is ****. i specifically waited a few years before getting one because of all the problems i have heard about this system.. i got one in august.. of 07 now my screen wont show up...all i get are the white lines or dots or whatever they are. i still have sound though.. at least i can play a cd or somethin..this is bs.

screne wont show

360 turns on with the sound and all but the visual effects won't work...

My xbox 360 has been working fine for about a year and a half. Recently, when i turn on my console, i can only hear the audio of the xbox, no video. I only see white lines running across my screen

I can get my xbox 360 to turn on, it make noise and starts to show up on the tv, it shows part of the xbox loading screen then resets and does it all over again, it had gotten tipped over and now I can't get it to go past that

My xbox was working fine i have had it for a little over a year, then yesterday the screen went blank. i can hear all the regular noises but no picture. I bought a new cable it still doesnt work.

Hi, when I turn on my xbox 360, I can't get a visual on my tv. I get sound perfectly well. I've bought new cables and nothing, I've tried my console on another tv, still nothing. Help!!! What do I do?

The screen at first was not displaying all the colors and graphics correctly. And now I just have the sound. I changed the cables and that worked for one session but now Its more of the same... Great sound blank screen.. I wiped down the plugs, switched inputs, and did some praying. No luck yet,

hey my bf has exactly the same problem, hes done everything possible to try and fix it. hes even borrowed his m8s leads and the console still wont show any picture. i think the only way to fix it is to send it bk to microsoft and pay em to do it

When i turn on my TV im sure that the cables are in the right places and all i hear is the sound.

i was playing and one day i turned it on and the sound worked perfectly but the screen dident come up i bought new cables and tried another tv but still nothing

the same thing happened to me i turned on the xbox and the profile didn't pop out nothing but black i could only hear it.
why is that?

same thing with me i turned the tv on but it did not go on i tried the towel trick but nothing tried new tv still blue screen but the sound goes on perfectly. i dont know if its the tv or the xbox360.

no image

My screen turned green, sometimes only in darker areas. The next day I go to turn it on and no video only sound and little white dots moving diagonally down the screen. I tried different cables and checked all connections. But I fear I have a bad video card.

yes, i'm having the same problem. the cable connection seemed to be broken. white snowy lines moving across the screen so I tried another tv..same problem. bought new cables for the 360.same problem? how can i fix? help!

xbox 360 wont show a picture at all.

Same problem... keeps "trying to show up" with white lines coming across the screen and nothing more. There is sound. Have tried it on different TV's without any luck. Anyone any ideas?
