alright, yeah i thought it might be a solder problem. my box for it will be here in a few days so i can send it in, do they give me a new one or what? and does that fix that problem for good?

MS will have your box for a month.

They will only take it back if it is within 1 year of purchase (for no video, but audio), and they will send you a a refurb box back.

the xbox is only like 2 months old, but thats dumb that they give you a refurb back, and not fix the one you bought.

Oh yeah, if its only 2 months old send it in for sure.

What is the manufacturing date on your 360 (its on the back near the serial code)...

You may have a falcon board still, and they will send you a Jasper board back which would be very good....

[beachbum_jon]

10-26-2008 is the manufacturing date. what is the difference in the falcon vs. jasper boards?

[Jim]

Yup, that'd be a falcon... and prob the reason it failed.

Falcon boards are older (middle revision), and the GPU still uses a large die size.

Jasper boards use a smaller die size and run a shit load cooler...

Jasper boards come with a manfu. date of December and on 08...

This also does sound like the classic 'having it switched to "TV/HDTV" problem'

[DelSlow]

What TV do you have it connected to? Try flipping this:

[beachbum_jon]

[DelSlow]

Did it fix it?...

[beachbum_jon]
