When i try to start my Xbox 360, the light around the power button becomes red and nothing shows up on the TV. I haven't used it for three or four weeks because I've been moving, so it has been unplugged for a while. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Thanks

1.Make sure the video cable is pluged in the back.

2. Plug power supply directly to a wall outlet, maybe try a different outlet.

3. Call 1-800-4my-xbox and order a coffin.

1st) Unplug everything from your tv that's xbox related, unplug everything from your xbox.. uncluding nyco/pelican coolers if you have them/HDD etc. let it sit for 1 min. plug everything back in starting with your tv components..and power supply last.

2nd.) pray to the xbox 360 mingys that you didnt bang the sh!t out of it while you were moving around. If all else fails.. get prepared to deal with the worst customer support ever. if the new warranty deal or whatever is in effect you'll be fine. if not.. find someone whos computer savvy and have them replace the gpu and cpu paste with some Arctic Silver thermal paste.. and the dust while they're at it. should fix all problems unless it's faulty hardware.. then you're screwed :/ good luck mang
