Alright so about a week or so ago I was playing Halo 3 and the colors started turning weird so I restarted my Xbox and it was fine for awhile and then it happened again. This has been happening on and off for about the past week and today it happened and when I rebooted my Xbox there is no video at all now. I am greeted with a black screen and the boot sound. It sounds like everything else is OK except I can't see anything. This doesn't look good for my Xbox or my wallet.
Help?
Anything input is appreciated.
Thanks!

if you have a warranty then call MS. if not then it is the HANA/ANA chip usually when you have sound but no video. I have fixed it before by doing the penny trick on the memory chips and overheating for awhile. i also did xclamp while i was at it though. That was a few months ago and no problems since

Im out of warranty because I've opened it up before to do the X-clamp fix and I haven't had the rrod since then but now this is happening.
So what you're saying is do the penny trick and overheat it and maybe redo the x-clamp fix?

No sense in redoing an x-clamp unless you're replacing the paste with Artic silver and assuming you bought the right kit. Do the penny trick and report back.

hey ive fixed a friends box that had this same thing you would start it up greeted by a black screen but hear the xbox 360 swoosh sound ( where the logo would come up at startup) but you would get no red lights right? i tried the penny trick and im pretty sure thats not it as it didnt fix my friends xbox, what did fix it was replacing the thermal compound again so Artic silver it again and put washers ( i use rubber around 2-2.5 mm in between the heatsink and motherboard to level the xbox 360's GPU ( littler grey one not tall one)with the chip underneath it( where you put the artic five also take those crappy x clamps off as they worsen the broblem when the unt is heated played a long time( i have a collection of them :) ) once the heatsink is sitting flush with the chip put it the metal casing and connect the dvd drive and the fan but put the fan flat on top of the dvd drive so that it covers the littler heatsink but still blows air to the taller one then " let it cook" what i call turning it on ( you will most likely get 3 red lights when you turn it on) and letting it over heat for say 20 mins then turn it off let it cool down for say 15 mins and turn it back on, theres your video back. If not tighten the screws ( or loosen them) and reburn again it will work your 360's not dead just has no video. If you leave it as is it will develop into 3 red lights its a stage first it starts freezing then no video until it gets the three red lights ( general hardware failure/overheating). Hope my info helped check out llama.com if you need some pictures and more detailed instructions its derived from lawddogs xclamp fix. Once you get it fixed i highly recommend getting a better fan on it either whisper fans ( they look cool and they help with the cooling) or an ex or ts intercooler have also heard good things about cooling stations docks, so that this doesnt happen again.

Thanks but I've heard that replacing the fans can raise flags with MS. Is there any truth to this or is it just pure speculation?

I took off the heat sinks and replaced the paste again and tightened down the screws then i put the fans on top of the one heatsink and let it run for about 20 then let it cool down for a good 30 turned it back on and to my surprise, it worked. Lets just hope that it lasts because I don't need a scare like that again.
