Sorry if this is not the place to ask this question,
After moving my xbox into my dorm it out of the blue stop working.
The problem im having is that when you press the power button the ring lights up green and then nothing else happens, no video no sound ,the dvd drive make some sort of noise like its trying to open and the hard drive spins up. Also when pressing the eject button the ring flashes like it should but the drive never ejects.
It did start up once after it had this problem. I took the xbox a part and checked to make sure every thing was all right and then it worked once but not again.
Here is a list of what i have done and what it has yielded
-Tried using different power supply from a working xbox
-tried a different av cable (when you boot up with out a av cable it -still flashes orange)
-Tried swapping dvd drive with one that works dvd drive still does not eject
-Tried removing hard drive and dvd drive and still nothing (also no flashing of the LED ring during any of the tries except for when the av cable is removed)
One thought i came up with is that maybe the bios got corrupted and it cant boot now
If any one has any insight to what has happened and how i could fix it
i would greatly appreciate
Thanks

Well if theres no error codes or anything it sounds like a bad mobo, most likely fried.
