i bought an xbox360 that the drive was broken in it. i purchased a new drive and with no drive the xbox boots to dashboard, when i plug the drive into the xbox power cable only boots to dashboard, if i plug in only the sata no power boots to dashboard, if i plug them both in i just get a blank screen, no red lights anyone have an idea?

sounds a bit like when the jumper is set wrong on the dvd drive on a desktop pc but you obviously dont have that on the xbox. maybe somthings shorting out on the mo/board or you have a bad solder joint. have you tried overheating the mo/board to see if it gives you a temporary fix.

funny you should say that i just overheated it, waiting for it to cool down to try adn see if it worked. it seems to be a short that is what the signs are, and the only thing that could cause that is a solder problem. i resolderd the sata and power connectors, if it needs to be reflowed i'll probally just put it on ebay and hope i get 20 bucks or so for it, i think thats about what i paid for it.
