Hi.
I came home tonight to play some TF2 on my xbox but when I turn it on, all I get is a black screen with a pattern of white dots all over it. It's not snow like on a tv but far fewer dots.
I have tried: checking the tv, plugging into other inputs, restarting xbox, taking out hardrive/cd, etc...

I have been through the entire xbox site trying to find help but the most I've found are threads started by people who have the same problem but are only given the same stupid answers. The light ring on my xbox is fine and in perfect condition, and nothing the xbox site has told has done anything.

ATM i'm not sure if it's the xbox or the av cable but i got my xbox used at gamestop so no warranty and I don't think I can send it in, and I'd sure like to not buy a new one!

If anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix it, please let me know as soon as possible!

WHY DO THEY CALL IT THE 360???

BECAUSE YOU TURN 360 DEGREES AND WALK AWAY

Go back to /v/

Thanks for all the help guys.

I did try to register it, and turns out the warranty expired in 2007 so iirc that means it was a launch xbox??? That's a pretty long lifespan so I'm not too disappointed. I ended up going and getting an arcade xbox for 200 bones and kept my memory and shit. Sucks but whatever.

Thanks for all the help really.
