If your using the hi-def cable(red blue green) check that its switched to either standard of hi-def. Also if your using the hi-def cable it wont work if u have the white head in the same time as red blue green! Hope it works for you!

My xbox 360 does not display VIDEO buy plays sound perfectly

Check to make sure the video selector switch on the video cable is set to proper position according to your type of tv. (TV or HDTV)
Unplug your cables and then plug them back in again.

You can also turn on your Xbox using the controller. As soon as it turns on hold in the right trigger and press the Y button. This will reset the video system settings.

It may be possible that you have a bad video cable but I doubt it.
If none of the above works you'll need to call xbox support to have your console repaired especially if it's still under warranty. If it's still under warranty, (under 1yr old for this type of problem) Microsoft will repair it for free.

No video or sound.

This is usually caused by a bad graphics card on the xbox. It isn't always detected by the xbox motherboard. I'm sorry to say, but it's pretty much toast unless you can find a repair guy in your area to solder on a new vga card.
