Angry Xbox 360 has no picture only sound =(

Well, I came home today decided to play some xbox 360 and found out it only has sound but no picture. after googling around online, it seems like a lot of console suffers the same issue due to component failure.. but no resolutions. just want to know if any of you guys had the same problem and know how to fix it.. thanks!

Make sure your TV or A/V receiver is on the correct video input. Sometimes when the wrong input is selected you can still hear audio but no picture.

1st step: Swap A/V cable with a known good one. Then get back to us.

try comnnecting your xbox with a regular composite cables (red white yellow), u should be able to get a standard res picture with that. Check the settings to make sure nothing has changed from the video output...and then connect ur Components back up again.

Do you have your audio hooked up to your surround? If so, turn on the TV.
