God guys, I have had this ONCE. I didn't have to replace anything. If you are using the component cables, check the connections and flip the TV to HDTV switch back and forth a couple times. No big deal, and it should fix it.
Lots of people have gone through this and it IS a big deal. The 360 has an abnormally high defective rate, and it's not as simple as flipping a videomode a couple times.
Tons of users in the comments have gone through many as well. There are countless forums where people are complaining and keeping score of their defective units.
Why are you so biased for? What is it that MS puts in your Hi-C that makes you so coo-coo for Microsoft?
I mean, just because you had a problem that resembles THIS problem, doesn't make it the same problem, or your layman $0.2 the fix all. Sheeesh... I've never seen such blind loyalty to a product.
Wow, does this not prove it to you? The one post you make in here is to ME. And what are you doing? You're trying to flame me. Just like I told you. Do I sit here and search these blogs for you, just to annoy/harrass you? No, so get a damn life, and leave me alone.
Why am I biased? Because I have had the same exact problem. It has to be the cables, because chips don't just go "bad." If they did, they are doing something wrong.
I also haven't read in here that anyone is getting the red rings when this happens, so it absolutely must mean that there is something wrong with the cable.
Sorry, but you seem to post in every blog post related to the Xbox 360. I don't... just some, and I see you in every one.
Anyway, let's not obfuscate your post. The issue here is not the same problem. You are biased and delusional because you failed to read hemmy's post (trend with you) and subsequently, other folks' valid grievances. You really like to dumb everything down.
Case in point, who stated (besides you) that the 360 component failures were strictly a result of 'cords' or 'chips', which in of itself is an ignorant point since simply stating 'chips' is far too connotative. There are many chips on the 360 main board with different factors, all of which can have numerous problems (e.g. electron leakage, overheating) when then subverts to another set of potential problems/issues (e.g. memory corruption, bad display output, red ring).
Yet you're SURE that your problem is precisely the same problem as everybody else, and you just have to flip the HDTV signal a couple of times... I suppose you call components doohickeys too.
Yes, yes, lets troll some more. You know you can make your point without trying to insult every second along the way, right?
Either way, I know that if you are not getting the red ring, then it has to be the cords. The red ring displays if anything is working out of the ordinary, or out of what the firmware is telling it to do. For example, if its a known hardware failure, 1 red light will flash, if its an unknown hardware failure, 3 red lights; if a cord is improperly plugged in, then it would flash 2 red lights. In this case, the cord is plugged in all the way, but you still get no video, meaning that it is the cord. Its deductive reasoning, something you don't have.
But you won't read this, or take anything in, because all you care about is that you were wrong, oh so long ago. I guess you can't take reality and must live it out online, in a blog about gadgets/electronics.
HP has had plenty of time to fine-tune its finger-friendly TouchSmart software, and now, its newest model, the TouchSmart 610, ushers in a fresh design, highlighted by a hinge that allows the display to slide down and lie nearly flat.

Why MS is packing a new heatsink in refurbished 360s? Oh, that's right, because of a rampant problem: http://kotaku.com/gaming/just-in-time-for-summer/repaired-xbox-360s-get-new-heatsink-268701.php
The sad truth is the 360 is a great game machine, but built like a cheap chinese toy.
