i was playing a movie on x.b.m.p so the movie finished and i wanted to play a game so i rebooted my xbox and all i get is sound and no video, and it also seems like the dvd drive keeps on trying to boot a dvd even if there is no cd it keeps on trying to boot a dvd

i also tried to boot a evox dvd and still the same problem

Hey. i had the same problem last night on an old xbox that I had just finished modding! It worked fine, so I put it back together, then I got nothing but a black screen, but I tried to boot the EVOX dash from memory (since I had no video). And I heard the flubber sequence (still no video). I eventually exhausted all of the possibilities, so I proceeded to "wiggle" the video cable that comes out of the xbox (near the place where it plugs into the xbox.
AMAZINGLY, I had video again.
It turns out that the cable had been so abused at the joint that it was shorting on occasion, depending upon its orientation.
Hope it helps.

sounds to me like a PAL/region issue.

hmm.. it may be an eeprom issue.. are you sure you didnt change the video mode setting in xbmc to ntsc-j or something?

I tried a different cable and the same thing. I opened the Media program and the only thing I saw was Settings. There was two lights on the bottom, amber and red. I clicked the right trigger and the red light on the bottom of the program came on then I hit "A" and the Xbox shut down. That was it, no more video. I don't understand how the software caused me to lose video but it's gone.
Any Ideas?

i had the same problem exept i had no sound either.
so i took it to a repair shop and they told me the video chip had blown.
i dont know if this is relevent or even the same problem but it resulted in me replacing the motherboard.

i have fixed many xboxs with this problem you need to use the video mode switch disk and it will work again

My problem was solved. My Xbox got switched to PAL when I used the Multimedia program. You need to run Video Switch CD.
