I turned on the 360 with the controller, the controller is flashing all 4 green lights constantly and the 360 flashes all 4 green lights for 4 seconds then only the green power light is on, No picture and no sound, What do i do

 

[GhaleonEB]

Usually when a controller is not syncing it will flash the four lights until it can. However, since your system has no picture, it could be that the reason the controller isn't syncing is because the system isn't booting correctly.

Assuming you've tried rebooting a few times, check the connections to the cables. I read somewhere that four flashing green lights is signifies an A/V connection issue.

To try to re-sync the controller, hit the little sync button on the 360, followed immediately by the small sync button on the 360 controller, next to the cable connection port.

Yeah, I had the four flashing readlights when I first bought it (followed by omgwtf etc), but it's just the AV cables.

Are you using HDMI connection by any chance? if yes, make sure your TV or receiver is on and the right input is selected.

 

[artredis1980]

when i turn the 360 from its button it just turns on, the green power light but no video or audio but I can hear it on.

Gonna go out on a limb and say you've probably got a bum HDD.

Yep. Your hard drive is fucked.

You'll need to send it in. I did the same thing.

Currently I dont have a warranty on my 360, can I get a new warranty and send it later this month?

Everyone has a warranty now... MS made it 3 years so even if you bought your 360 at launch it still has a warranty for over a year.

That's only for the Red Rings of Death though.

thats why i was asking, if I dont have any warranty, can I apply for a new warranty from microsoft ?

 

[Bboy AJ]

No. You pretty much either have to buy a new HD, get the old one repaired for a fee, or call and sweet talk them into repairing your HD for free.

 

[thirtytwoutside]

Or you could get this: $52.49 for a new hard drive ain't bad, especially considering the time it'd take for MS to send you a new one (credit goes to CAG):
