Does anybody have this problem too. When ik leave my xbox off for about 4 hours and ik try to boot it then i get a black screen. When I reboot it, it works perfectly. So it only does this at the first boot after a long time of inactivity. Who has this problem also and knows what is causing this?

Just in case anyone is following this thread, I just got off the phone w/ xbox cust. support and they are having me send it in for repair. I'll post back after they've returned it to let you know how it went.

They ended up replacing my console.

I thought I should maybe register and reply after seeing this. I'm in the UK and get the black screen on boot up problem. Or should I say, I used to get the black screen problem.

I always used to unplug the 360 from the mains after use, so out of curiousity I started leaving it plugged in when not in use and I now long longer get the black screen.

has anyone else tried this?

Keep the cable off of the heat output of the back? If you lay it flat on a table, put the video cable away from the fans. Cables arent meant to heat up?
