XBOX360 gives blank screen on HDTV, NO RROD!

zaid786 · 11-03-2008, 09:32 AM

Hello, I have a problem if anyone can help me. All of a sudden my xbox 360 gives a blank screen on my hdtv. I was playing it fine 5 minutes before and turned it off. The next time I turned it back on I didn't get a picture. No error message, nothing! But on my hdtv when I load it, it loads fine with green lights and everything but I get no picture! It can't be the cable cause I just bought a brand new hd component av cable from the shop. Normally it would say HDTV 1080p across the top left, but now it says HDTV Unknown. I've tried a different cable aswell, and a different tv to see if that makes any difference but it hasn't. Does anyone know a possible solution to this?

Have you tried the standard av cable that comes with the xbox? the one with component ends?

Actually, that is one of the most common solutions and it would have been the one I would have firstly recommended.

That isn't the problem though, still havn't found a solution for this. Very weird symptoms.
