Xbox 360 Has No Sound Or Picture? What Can I Do?
In some rare cases you will find that no error code is displayed when you have issues with sound or picture on the xbox 360 console. Because of this I suggest covering a few area’s before further diagnosing what could possibly be wrong with you’re console.
The first thing you should check is that all your cables are connected correctly and securely in your console as well as the connections going into your display. As stupid as it may sound many problems regarding no picture or sound occur because the console is setup correctly, this happens 80% of the time.
Still no picture or sound?
If you have checked all connections on the console and the unit is still not responding then it is safe to assume their is an underlying problem at hand. If you find that a replacement cable has not resolved the issue then the console will need to be opened, and a repair should be carried out.
The problem?
Problems vary from console to console depending on what you are experiencing and what symptoms are showing. The “X-Clamp” repair method can usually repair issues relating to sound or picture by steadying the motherboard of the console and rectifying hairline cracks that may have formed. This is not true of all cases, and sometimes their could be a deeper fault at hand such as a permanently damaged video chip or processor.
What do you suggest?
Their are many guides available to purchase that can show you step by step how to repair common problems such as no picture or sound with your console. For a permanent fix i recommend forwarding your console to an experienced technician as they will know exactly what the problem is and how to resolve it.
