Poorly xbox

[Beav]

Hello.

 

I was watching skyplayer this morning and my controller fell of the bed. My xbox just went to a black screen so I reset my xbox/TV and the xbox turns on but nothing is showing on the screen it says "No signal" and all the lights on the controller just freeze on. By the way I have the new xbox360 250GB. Any help?

 

Thanks

Ooo, I just found the problem. The HDMI cable they supplied with the console just died. Tested another one and it worked fine. I thought the console would of at least turned on and all lights wouldnt be shown on the controller.

Mine does that until I change over to the HDMI input. They probably weren't communicating properly.

I changed the original cable from input port 1 to 3 but it still didn't work. Works now I changed the cable :) Bit weird how my controller falling of the bed triggered that off

Could just be a coincident.

Yeah could be. I don't understand why people pay so much for an hdmi cable when you can pick them up for a few £££

Because sales people lie and consumers don't do enough of their own research to realise that there is pretty much no difference in quality when using digital signals/cables. :)

I find this interesting. I have a slim that wont work on HDMI with my TV, there's no handshake between my TV and the console. 1080p

Yet i have a old Fat 360 that connects fine using the same cable.

However my slim works in my living room with my dads JVC, and if i use a HDMI to DVI that also works fine when connecting to a PC monitor.
