Try the standard AV / Component cable in the 360 to the tv and see if you get display then.
If so check your settings to make sure it is set to 1080P.
Doesn't a dashboard update reset console settings to default?

I also have the same problem. The HDMI worked on all TVs before, but today it suddenly not working. All TVs says No Signal. However, my Westinghouse L24NM monitor HDMI port is able to output the image and sound. When I wiggle the HDMI cable that is connected to my XBOX 360, there is one particular angle disconnects with the monitor and no image nor sound. So when I was able to obtain the image and sound from the Westinghouse monitor, I disconnect the HDMI cable from the monitor and reconnect it to the HDTVs, the TV says NO SIGNAL! It's a bad luck for me today coz when I tried to look for the customer support number, I turned on my laptop PC and after talking to the customer service, they told me to test with other cables, I've tried with other HDMI cables and still have the same problem. After than my laptop suddenly died!!!! It's freaking bad luck to me today! Both my XBOX 360 and my Laptop died on me!

- Nov 7, 2010 4:46 am GMTSame problem. I just got a new LG tv and plugged the xbox into it (also after dashboard update). No signal (although the Tv says 'connected'). I first thought 'Damm new TV - why don't you work' and after a half an hour of trolling through the Tv settings I decided to try it back in the old TV. It doesn't work in old Tv either. Tried 2 HDMI cables. The AV cable does work. It is really odd. Also when I do things like launch games the screen will flicker (as if it is at too high resolution or frame rate). I reset display settings (hold down Y and right trigger during startup) but nothing has happened. I don't want to have to send it off.

- Jan 4, 2011 3:51 am GMTMy solution was to pull the plug for 5 minutes and change to another HDMI port in my television. Then suddenly it worked again.

- Jan 4, 2011 8:11 am GMTI Have the exact same problem, this morning it was working fine. After turning it on again it suddenly says no signal on hdmi. I have also phoned the xbox helpline and tried to change settings blind with no sucess. It will still work using the scart cable with the xbox but you cannot reset hdmi settings whilst in us with scart. after trying everything i think i will have to send it off to microsfoft.

- Jan 4, 2011 8:57 pm GMTI'm thinking of restoring to factory settings and wiping the hard drive. Does anyone know if this will work? I can't think why not, unless there's flash memory on the Xbox which can't be reset?

- Oct 24, 2011 7:16 am GMTyea I am having no luck with mine. Both HDMI and AV do not work for my xbox. Im thinking it was my husbands fault, he touches technology and it crumbles in his hands. I tried resting the xbox to factory settings myself but still no luck so I am going to keep working with it, but if anyone finds a solution, please share because I am having withdrawals!

- Dec 24, 2011 1:17 pm GMTI'm not sure if this will help anyone, but I had to do some ridiculous junk to fix mine. Details: Xbox 360 S Vizio 37" HDTV (1080p) Basically, after 45 minutes of troubleshooting, I had to connect the Xbox to a specific port on my TV and then plug a specific cable into HDMI port 2. My Xbox had to be plugged into HDMI port 1. My HDMI-DVI cable (Used to use the TV as a second monitor to my computer) had to be plugged into HDMI port 2. If nothing was plugged into port 2, the Xbox would not show anything. If anything else was plugged into port 2, the Xbox would not show anything. If the Xbox was plugged into port 2 and anything (including nothing) was plugged into port 1, the Xbox would not show anything. MAKES NO SENSE. But that's what I did. Hope this helps. Oh and here's a few other things to try: Load up your Xbox with a cable that does display an image. Hold RT + Y on Controller 1 until the console resets. This resets the display settings. Try plugging it in now. Reset your TV display settings. Sometimes you can change the smallest thing, but ruin your display. Factory settings can fix this. If your old setup used to work, but you changed a couple cables here and there (or maybe added a new one) and now it doesn't work, try your old setup. This is what worked for me. See ya.

I am in the exact same shoes you were in when you posted this. The HDMI port on my xbox stopped working randomly one day after it worked the night before.
I think it is plain faulty Microsoft equipment.

- Jan 24, 2012 4:14 pm GMTThe topic is old but maybe still alive. I'm facing a problem with my LG 42LW4500. When I plug my HDMI cable with my Xbox 360, some green pixeled lines appear on TV. I verified it just happen when I try to run on 1080p. Have you faced that?

I had the problem of the strange green pixels and HDMI not working properly, lack of sound etc. I've also had problems before with the screen suddenly going blank for a few seconds and then coming back on (particularly annoying in dark souls).
I have a feeling it might have something to do with the display discovery in the display settings. My problem with this was almost fixed by changing my screen resolution down to really low, 400x600 whatever, restart the console, then I switched display discovery off, sound fixed here, which allowed me to choose higher resolutions and I could then raise it to 1080i but not 1080p were it would get the green pixels thing again.
I realise it's not a total fix but better than a messed up screen and no sound. Hope this helps.

- Apr 5, 2012 3:35 pm GMTI just had the same problem starting the other day, I was at my house on my moms 50 in Lg it was working perfectly fine. The next day I went back to my college plug my xbox into my t.v which is a 60 in Panasonic, and it just completely stopped working, I've tried my other hdmi and my roommates as well, and still nothing. It just gave out completely.
