Day Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 My Xbox has duffed out, I would rather lose a testicle but it's too late now and I was never actually given a choice. Switched the thing on last night/early this morning to batter YR on Fifa and everything was fine, went to put the kettle on and as soon as I walked back in the TV went all mish mashed and cut out. No signal can be found popped up, thought it was a lose cable but no, tried another HDMI cable nothing. Woke the missus up (she wasn't happy but this was serious) and she found the scart lead, tried that and nothing. I'm guessing it's the output connector that has duffed out, has this happened to anyone else before and if so how much will I be looking at for it to be repaired. It's also the Black Elite if that makes any difference. And before any cocky sod comes in and says "haha shoulda bought a PS3", I did, they are duff brand new out the box so I sold it and went back to the far superior console.

Day Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hmmm that article says look out for a loss of colour, it's been fine not seen any. TV not compatible, no way Pedro been working for 2+ years and overheating which I've never had a problem with either. Tried it this morning again and still the same. I'll try it on the PC monitor in abit and see if it works on there tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 It gets worse, Alex just PM'd me asking if I can hear sound, said no but went and double checked, plugged in a wired controller and the controller won't even turn on. Oh boy I'm gonna cry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 oh dear. Please, members, do not ask Daveo if he has tried turning it off and on again. I think he could ban you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Fear not, Miss Daveo has been on the phone to a repair shop, £35 to fix. Booked in for Monday morning, sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Only problem I've ever had with the 360 is when I put my foot through it after a lag-induced Fifa defeat a few years ago. It was like the scene at the start of 2001, when the apes discover that beating the fook out of stuff is cool......

Day Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Xbox is fixed and didn't cost a penny which is nice. Last night the missus suggested we hoover the thing out and give it a try, she hoovered it but didn't get round to trying it till this morning and BOOM! it worked. Amazing how much stress and tears abit of dust will bring you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If the missus hoovered regularly, this might not happen...... 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
