Fallout New Vegas ruined my xbox?

Post » Thu May 26, 2011 7:46 pm

Ok so i got fallout 3 today and was super excited to play it just like anyone else. I got about an hour into it and then suddenly my screen turned this greenish hue. So i did what first came to mind which was to reset my xbox, so i did that unfortunately. Now when i go to turn my 360 on it turns on, i see the green lights and everything, but nothing comes up on my tv, no picture no sound.....nothing. I've tried blowing out my xbox cus i thought maybe dust was the culprit but that didnt work. I even messed around with the video cables for like an hour and that did nothing. Please someone help, im clueless as to what i should do.

Well, then maybe its cables, i had an old plasma tv and something cracked and leaked fluid inside and it was toast. Does you tv work with other things...cable? DVD? etc.

If you have it connected via HDMI cable, then your cable is shot.
Same thing happened to me more than once.

There is a chance for whatever reason your xbox changed it's display resolution.
It doesn't sound like this is the case, but I would troubleshoot that as well.
