Why doesn't my Xbox turn on?

My Xbox 360 (model 1439) will not turn on. When I press the sensor the noise of the Xbox turning on happens, but the green light does not illuminate and the screen does not come on either. Please if you have a solution comment. :)

Only solution i have for you is to check your connections on the Xbox, making sure that everything is right. If that checks out and you are NOT getting the red button of doom on your Xbox, then I would use a new connector or if you are using a HDMI connection use the original connector, the one with the three wire coming out the back that connects to the TV. Sometimes dumbing things down will fix it. Also check your TV and make sure that you have the right input channel on for the Xbox. IE input 2 when it should have been input 1. Not saying anything but sometimes this is the simplest solution and the right solution. Hope this helps.

Testimonial: "The red button isn't showing up but I have already tried the A/V cord since I have an HDMI cord. My Xbox is screwed isn't it?"

What is wrong with my Xbox 360.

Unfortunately this is a mainboard problem.
Most of the time it's due to the 1.8v or 3.3v rail being dead.

There's a number of YouTube videos about replacing laser lenses on Xbox 360s.
Probably a good idea to watch a few of them - only you can determine if it's something you can do yourself.

How to update xbox 360 model 1439 the sensor doesn't work

Hello
An alternate method is to log onto x box live, find updates.Download them to a pc.

Use winzip or winrar to compress the file or update.

Then using a flash drive or a usb cable put the update onto the x box console via usb or flash drive.

I went to turn on my xbox wireless drum kit and the light just came on for a second and then went out so i replaced the batteries, several times but it still wont come on

Well you can try this solution to get it too work. The thing with the XBOX 360 is that it has a hard time syncing with other controllers made by different companies. So try these steps first and see if they work if not you might have got a set of bad drums.
Step 1. Turn on XBOX 360 Step 2. Turn on drums (hold xbox button on drums). Step 3. Press sync button on 360 (XBOX ligh on console should start circling Step 4. Press sync button on drums [under D pad] (xbox light on drums should start circling)
If this doesn't work then you should RMA the drums to http://rockbandservice.ea.com to replace the bad ones.

The lights keep blinking but nothing is happening. It wont connect to the console. What should I do?

It's possible the xbox 360 controller isn't connected to the xbox 360. Turn the xbox 360 on by pressing the power button, and wait until it reaches the dash board. Then press the controller syncing button on the xbox 360 itself and wait until the xbox 360's ring lights start to spin around. Then press and hold the synch button on the controller (located near the charge port) and the controller should synch up with the xbox 360.
