    Xbox 360 will turn on, won't do anything else though


    Ok so hopefully someone can help me. I recently finished moving and went to plug my xbox in and it's doing all kinds of strange things. For a while it wouldn't respond to me pressing the power button at all, but for the most part, it turns on and the center
    light on the console is green but it won't produce any signal and won't connect with any controllers. t's like it just turns on and becomes a brick. I know it's not a power issue because it will turn on and I would think it'd be some kind of software update
    issue because I was just playing it no more than two weeks ago. My best guess is that maybe it got jostled in the move but I store it in a padded suitcase so it's pretty well protected. Anyway, all responses are appreciated. TIA!

    :)

    Xbox Controller won't do anything on Xbox.

    When I turn on my Xbox, everything is perfectly fine. But when I turn on my controller, it won't do actions on it and when I try to do voice commands, it won't do anything.

    Summary: My controller won't do anything and won't display when turned on.

    Sons xbox

    my son's Xbox is making some wierd noises. It won't let him do anything it turns on but when he clicks sign in it's does nothing. He's held the button for 10 seconds and that's not helped. Anything else I can do?
