360 no display/output.. given up the ghost?

[Tomahawk]

Okay this is not meant to be another 'oh know my 360 has died' just a quick bit of advice if you will!

My Xbox 360 was working fine no problems. I used it one morning everything was fine, came to turn it on in the evening and my TV initially said 'mode not supported' but now I just get 'no signal'. I have a Samsung LCD and the xbox is hooked up via component.

So initially I've tried:
- Different cable (I also have the vga connector) but this gave the same 'no signal'.
- I've also tried resetting the display settings to the default by holding 'Y' and right trigger upon boot (which the xbox does do).
- Different display/monitor.

But all these failed to work.

Main question, any other ideas anyone would recommend trying?
Any possible suggestions to the cause?

Also I do not get any red lights at all and everything is green as normal.
Thanks.

How long you had it? Sounds like the output has gone.

Quite awhile! I had one from launch then that died after about ~16months and this current one is the replacement.

Is it easily fixable? Or should I just cut my losses?

I phoned up Xbox Support about this I've got the same issue and also a launch console. If your out of warrenty it will be £80 to fix, its hard to decide for me whether to get a new 360 arcade or to send it off for repair.

Has the same issue ages ago..it's quite prevalent it seems..i fixed mine myself with the heatsink fix..soon gave up the ghost again after that though.

Fixed the same problem on a friends console by swapping out the xclamp,
worked for a further month and a half till it died completely.

Always worth a try fixing it but don't hold your breath that it will last.

£80?! That's hurrendous considering a new basic console is around £120! ..Probably just worth getting a new one/second hand if that's the case etc.

Think I'm going to give this a go; don't have anything to lose considering warranty is out!
Thanks for replies.

Yeah, opting now over a weeks worth of thought to get a new Jasper arcade today, hopefully Game or HMV will be happy to ensure I get a Jasper by looking at the voltage output.

Most XBoxs now are Jasper, I got mine from Play a few months ago, a 60Gb and it was a Jasper. But hopefully if you want to be 100% sure then yeah go into the shop and have a look at the voltages.
