Xbox 360 won't start -- help!

Post by STARWARSFREAK »

Well, guys, I have another tech issue. This time on my Xbox. Yipee! Yay! Whoopdie-(fajita)-doo. Here's the situation: I was playing Halo 2 when my 360 shut down. I tried to turn it back on, but it wouldn't. I tried remotely with my controller, but to no avail. I tried turning off all my electronics and trying again. Nothing. I checked all connections in my cords and reconnected them just to be sure. Once again, nothing. If it makes a difference, my 360 is connected to a power-strip instead of directly to a plug. Please help soon, as this is the one night of year I actually need my Xbox running!

Try plugging into the wall without using the power strip, if it works, great, if not, it's time to bring Mr. 360 back to the store. If it is the power strip, it probably just almost overloads because of the 360 and shuts off that outlet.

Srry I haven't responded. My connection's been down and I've had guests the last few days. Unfortunately, my parents jumped the gun, and took it back to Circuit City before I could fix it. I just hope they let me keep the hard drive.
