Si any chance you can try your AV lead on it before you cook it. Might just be a faulty lead.

Yeah I mean't you try your lead on his console.....save the poor lad spending more money on a lead he can't use again.......best just get the tea towels out

I would say the video output is dead mate. If it was the gfx card it would red ring.
Like Hills said get the tea towels out and fry it

Exact same thing happened to mine mate.

Does the sound still come through ok? May be worth checking whether it comes through composite/scart to rule out the connection on the back of the telly?

Well isn't this a coincidence mine has died this morning with exactly the same fault.

I've sent a request to MS and they are emailing me a returns label.

agreed,i would suggest trying a hdmi cable too.
try cooking it but not over cooking it to see if it will re set the solder.

no real point in resetting the solder as it will just melt and become unset again just get a new fixed one is best bet

Has he tried resetting the video output?

1. Remove any discs from the disc tray.
2. Turn the console off.
3. Turn the console on. Note If you are using an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, turn the console on by using the Xbox Guide button on the controller. Make sure that you use the player 1 controller when you do this. The player 1 controller will have the upper-left quadrant light illuminated.
4. As the console starts, press and hold the Y button, and then pull the right trigger at the same time.
5. The Xbox Dashboard resets the display settings to the default settings, and then automatically restarts the console.

Did he get it sorted?
