Recently a friend just gave me back my 360 after fixing it(RROD). I plugged it in my 1080p's TV and started playing. The next day I left it on for 30 minutes and a red bar started to go across the TV screen. I was searching about things to fix it and one said to change the resolution from 1080p to 1080i(which for some reason makes the screen split and half). I then turned off my xbox 360, flipped the switch from HDTV to TV (the AV cables that came with the 360), and when I turned on my 360... nothing. I could hear sound, but my TV was giving the "No signal" watermark. Moved the AV cables to the "standard" RWY port but no avail. Not even switching the AV cables worked...
How can I get my 360 from giving me a no signal watermark? I've fiddled with the switch, etc. And am having no luck.
Borrow another working 360 and test it on your current cable/tv setup, then you should know what the problem is
Correct me if I'm wrong...
Does the TV work on anything else? 1080p (progressive) and 1080i (interlaced) have a different display method.
Progressive, the gun (or transistor(s)) does each line individually.
Interlaced, the gun (1080i not very typical for LCD,(O)LED,Plasma) alternatively and interlaces the middle line.
So, by this.. we can deduct if this is a fault with the TV. Since the xbox can't really change its display setting. if it's TV related, and it's NOT a Back Projector/CRT its pretty much screwed. Even with the back projectors/crts are hard to work on if you don't know what you're doing. CRT will kill a careless amateur like it was a fucking game.
your best way to troublehsoot is by using an alternative [b]HD[/b] device. Either capable of transmitting a signal for 1080. So a blueray, high definition digital video disk (HD-DVD)reader will do the trick. Or even a computer with a high definition media interface, or display-port interface will do the trick.
Turned on the 360 and got a rrod. Turned it on again and boom, it was working perfectly fine with the red lines.

Thanks for explaining that, tomorrow when I'm less tired I'll go and plug it in the other HDTV here.
Red lines.. well sounds like the GPU on the xbox is shot.
Eh, yeah the GPU is dying. Sometimes it'll give me video and sometimes it won't. The timed that it does show video, the red lines/green spots come up. It's $100 for a repair, so I'll just have to deal with it until I can reapair it.
