I need some ppl opinions out here! When My Xbox 360 is powered off atleast for an estimated time of 3 or 4 hours i need to power it up 2 times before i get visuals on my TVHD but there no red lights or stuff like that and If it powered off for like an hour, it'll will work on the first boot. That's the only issue that i got so far. No overheating and scratched cds. Everythings works perfectly besides that minor issue. I don't know if there's a bad signal between my TVHD and my XBOX 360 or if its simply the AV HD Cable that is bad or maybe i got a faulty console ?I called M$, they deny the problem. Btw, my TV is a Samsung TVHD, 16:9 Widescreen, 1080i (No LCD)

Thanx! I hope someone will help me with that issue.

well it sounds like an issue with the video encoder in the 360. have you got another tv that you can test this with? doesnt have to be a HDTV.

Bad news...the same thing happened even with my new LCD TV...i'll try other HD/AV cables and if no changes i'll send my 360 to the M$ repair center tho.

Btw, how long does it take before getting our consoles back fomr the repair center?

I live in Montréal/Canada

it depends. what i think they normally do is send you a new console, and then repair your old one and sell it as a 'pre-loved' one.

Not sure in Canada(im in US), but i recieved my pre-paid box from the repair center on this past monday, sent out the console on tuesday. The repair center recieved it on Wed and sent out my console today and according to the tracking I should get it tomorrow. So sent on Tues, recieve on Fri. All the shipping was done with DHL overnight service.

I've got the exact same issue. It always takes 2 power cycles before it'll send any audio or visual signals. The 'ring of light' and the controller just blink away green lights on all four slots. My mfg date was 11/28/05.

Did you send it to the M$ repair center ? or Did you solve the problem?
