The no video problem is becoming a common one on the Xbox 360's.

First check to make sure your video input cable is set to the proper input. Look on the side of the connector that plugs into the xbox itself and you will see a switch with TV and HDTV labled above it.
Slide the switch to the position according to the type of tv you're using with your xbox.

You can also try holding in the right trigger and pressing the Y button as soon as you turn on your xbox. The easiest way to do this is to turn the xbox on using the controller.

If these solutions do not work, you "may" have a bad video cable.

You can open a support case with Microsoft to have your console repaired. If it's under warranty, Microsoft will repair it for free.

If not it will cost you either $99 (open online support case yourself at www.xbox.com) or $120.00 (call xbox support at 1 800 4my xbox)

The last option is to repair it yourself if you think it's within your capabilities.

There are numerous articles on the internet on how to repair various problems with the xbox. Be aware the available solutions may or may not apply to your individual situation.

One of my 360's had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. I decided to fix it myself instead of paying Microsoft but I had nothing to lose as my warranty had expired and I had another console I could use regardless.

Get new AV cables for the xbox and if that doesnt work, send it off for repairs. That is most likely the problem though. Microsoft will charge $100 to do the same thing i just told you to do.

Xbox elite connected to TV thru HDMI works fine, but connected via bcs-fs500 receiver = no audio or video Cable tv through receiver works fine Have tried cable tv through receiver inputs HDMI 1 and 2...

Hook your Xbox to tv via HDMI, then hook TV to reciever through digital optical or composite cables. If you try to get your picture through receiver first, you may get picture and sound but, sound may be delayed and picture might not be the best. Bettter to run through tv first then provide sound to receiver.

Lost video signal to monitor (TV)

I had the same problem - Onkyo had me reset the unit by holding down VCR and pushing the power button. Make sure you record your settings before doing this - as the unit will be fully reset. This solved the video problem for me.

I've got sound but no picture. The cable is working fine i tried it in another console. The TV isn't the problem.

This can be caused by a bad video chip on the board. Contact Microsoft and see if the unit is still under warranty.

Sound no picture with dvd player

Exchanged AmEx Rewards points for 3 Toshiba Model DS-4000KU DVD players in 2007. All stopped working. Two a year ago, one this week. Errors - can't read disc, bad disc, etc.

Warranty period is up. So I decided to open one up tonight since they were going in the garbage anyway.

Put on rubber gloves and took off the case. Unscrewed the player unit, lifted it carefully, and untaped lines from the botton of the unit.

Plugged the unit in and powered it on. Did not blow up! :>)

Jiggled some of the lines and connections. Put a disc in and it read it!

Attached it to the tv without putting the case back on. Received video. Yay! But no sound. Boo!

Jiggled the lines some more and tried it again. Working fine now.

Will put the case back on later and see if it still works.

Good luck!

No surround sound from my PS3 through the Onkyo 5100. Video OK

Unfortunately only the higher end Onkyo Reciever pass audio over HDMI for sound. 605,705,805,905 exc. Your reciever will carry Video over HDMI but you will need a digital optical cable for sound.



thanks.
