My sounds works and so does my directtv but no picture will show up for my 360 i bought a new av cord and it still wont work how do i fix it

If you mean there is sound on the console and the xbox is starting up but there is no pictures then try spinning around the yellow av cord, (Yellow cord is the cord that produces the pictures on the screen) and if that still doesent work then you may need to buy some new av cords. =]

Try jiggling/ twisting around the yellow av cord lead. I have the same problem with mine but you just need to spin the yellow av lead around untill you get a picture. If you still cannot see the xbox screen then i recomend you try on another T.V as it might be the av imput is not working. =]

Umm if you have sound then your yellow av cord must be faualty (The yellow av cord is the one that produces the pictures onto the screen) But if you have no sound and the power brick and xbox is humming away nicely then i recomend taking it to a repairer to try and get it fixed.=]

Well your yellow av cord could be faulty and you might need to buy a new set of av cords so that picture can be produced onto the screen. (The yellow av cord is the cord that produces pictures on the screen). =]

Unfortunatly your console has a graphics processor unit (gpu) fault, the console needs stripping down and new heatsink compound applying to the chip, this is basically the same fix for rrod, so there are plenty of free guides on youtube if you want to tackle this your self.

This might not help everybody but it might be a cheap fast solution to the "Xbox 360 no picture but sound ok" problem. I have old refurbished 360 that has had no problems at all. SInce I got it have used it with powerwave cooler attached to the back. This cooler has seperate Outputs for Vga, SVga, audio, component and av. Don't need the microsoft cable at all just standard cables. Always had it plugged in with VGA or SVGA cables and got great picture. I bought new 360 and put the old one in bedroom with old tv which only has av inputs. Got shocking picture that was unwatchable but sound was good. Tried all ways but no different. Seems the xbox plug has problems. If you get the powerwave cooler it splits the xbox output socket in to seperate outputs for everything so you can use it with Vga or Svga cables if your tv has those inputs and it should work fine. Only seems to be the standard AV outputs that have problems. Haven't tried the componet leads but I guess they might work as well. If you only have the old yellow, red and white AV inputs on your tv this wont help you but if you have the other types of inputs it might fix it. The powerwave cooler you should be able to buy for under $20 so it could be a cheap solution for this problem everyone seems to be getting lately. It works for me at least so get one and give it a try.

um maybe u got the ring of dead and maybe its ur memory must be a way to reset it

It is the solder under the GPU chip. Same as the 3 red light problem. YOu can send it to us if you want it fixed.

Thanks

I would reccomend checking both the TV's input jacks and the Xbox's output slot. If you got a new AV cable, then the odds that that cable are faulty are slim.

Try your new AV cord on a friends 360 if you have a friend with one. See if it works.

I found a microsoft troubleshooting Web Article that may help you solve your problem.

where you put the cables for the sound and picture if you look on the end where you plug it into the xbox 360 you will see a little switch it has HD and TV on it depending on what your tv supports (HD ready TV) (normal TV) switch that switch to what TV you have (e.g. HD TV, switch the switch to HD) if that doesnt work then try checking that you have all the cables in the right ports if you have pluged the HD cables into a normal TV then this is not going to work, check cables and check the switch!
