Earlier today, i got on my 360 to own some ppl in CoD:4 and the screen starting shaking and getting fuzzy
so i got worried and turned my 360 off, now it will turn back on but nothing will come on the screen
I checked my cords in AV and in HD and neither are working
my 360 warranty ran out ages ago, i dont know what to do
any advise on what i can do to try get this fixed.

Sorry my friend, but it seems to me like you have a Videocard problem. Your 360 maybe creeping towards death.

If it's not your TV and it is your console that's acting up, I would purposely Red Ring the sucker and hit up M$.;)

Either its your 360 or possibly the video input of your TV. Hook the console to another TV if you get the same result its an issue with the 360; however if by chance everything works fine on another TV I would say the video input of your original TV is shot.

Yeah today, i called Microsoft to tell them it wasnt working, well they told me to try another person's HD cords and on another TV
tried both, neither worked. So i called back, now i gotta pay $90 to have my 360 fixed and go without all my games for an extended period of time. (All my christmas presents that wern't money, were 360 games =( )
So, i guess i wont be seeing any of you online anytime soon
another thing... on the phone i said Sony had a better system for less problems and they said sir, "We could care less about Sony, this is Microsoft" LOL

Take this as a warning of just how great this year will be...
Suck to hear, dude. Mine's creeping up to it's last days of warrenty, and I have the sinking feeling that the day it runs out will be the day it packs in.

^^^You could've just Red Ringed your console and M$ would have to repair it free of charge.;)

I posted this elsewhere, didn't get a response. Can you renew your warranty? I suppose if my warranty runs out and my 360 breaks I'll just pay however much because I'm poor and that beats buying a new console.

I think my friend had a similar problem, MS told him it was the motherboard. He didn't have a warrenty, but he sent it back anyway, and they "fixed it", but it had the same problem, he sent it back again, same thing again, so MS gave him a new one. And you could tell it was new. Also, he got 1 free month of live and 2 games.

Ah yeh but you've saved 40 bucks so that can't be a bad thing. You sent it off already? If not i'd try get the 3 red rings like JDM suggested; if successful, you'll save another $50 as they'll have to repair it for free! Worth a go isnt it you've got nothing to lose as you'll be getting it fixed anyway.
