My Kinect is acting up

Hi there,

I recently decided to plug in my Kinect after months of not using it. When I plug it in the Kinect icon on the corner of the screen pops up but then goes away after about 10 sec. and this repeats over and over .ive tried all the trouble shooting but nothing
seems to be working. Any idea on what's wrong with it? Is it a software thing or just broken now? Oh ya and the light on the Kinect will turn on for about 1 second and turn off but that only happen a few times .

:)

 

My console is acting up

Hi there, I just went to play my xbox 360, but it is starting to act up in several ways. When I turn the system on, for a while now I get a slight juddering noise coming from the disc drive. However now, the dashboard takes ages to load, I get the usual
messages saying which friends are online etc, even though I can't see anything. Finally I get an error saying I can't connect to live. The game I was playing was Dragon Age 2. When I select to play the game, it opens up, then gets stuck syncing cloud storage.
Finally I get to select a storage device, when I select my HDD the game just stops. When I press the xbox button on my controller, I can hear the usual noise the menu makes when it opens, I just can't see it.

I was recently moving stuff, so only have two games to play atm. I tried the other. It said I needed to dl an update, which it did, seemingly signing me into live. It then says "Checking for DLC" and gets stuck at it.

I have cleared my cache, made no difference. I am worried that several things seem to be going wrong. It is an xbox slim, a little over a year old, 250gb model. My third in 5 years. I am at a loss as to what to do. Any tips would be appreciated.
