Xbox 360 E: No Signal on both HDMI & AV Source

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 08:57:11 -0700

Hello! So my XBOX 360 E doesn't show any video output on both HDMI & AV. The TV detects a signal from the HDMI if I power on the console normally, but no picture is shown. When I try to use an AV cable, it doesn't detect any signal at all.

I already tried the Y+R2 trick yet nothing shows. I tried different HDMI cables that work, bought new AV cables, and different TVs, all nothing.

Is it a faulty HDMI and AV port? Thank you!

Xbox 360 E: Immediately overheating/lack of ventalation on startup

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 17:28:56 -0700

Hey all, I have an Xbox 360 E that I've always taken good care of. One day, after 5-6 hours of playing, the fan got very loud and blasted loud for about a half hour until it shut down due to lack of ventalation. I turned it back on and had no problems for another 5-6 hours until the fan got loud and it overheated again. The console had NEVER over heated or powered off before this. This continued to get worse every day, with the time it's starts over heating becoming earlier and earlier. I should also mention it seemed the fan was permanently louder. A month later it got so bad I couldn't even play for 5 minutes without overheating, I had to resort to putting something cold from the freezer next to the Xbox vents, about 3 inches away or I couldn't play. The fan wouldn't be as loud with the cold cans next to it. I was able to play 7-8 hours as long as I had something cold by the Xbox, then that started becoming less effective. As the days went on I had less and less time until the console overheated. It is now to the point that when I hit the power button on the Xbox, it goes green for 1-2 seconds, then immediately flashes red, the fan blasts and powers down in about 5 seconds, can't even see the 360 startup icon it powers off so quickly. Flashing red is the lack of ventalation/overheating indicator for the Xbox E, but it is not overheating. It can sit off for a month, I power it up and it shuts down due to lack of ventalation immediately in 2 seconds. There is nothing blocking the vents, it is in an open area elevated off the carpet. The power brick is Orange when off, and turns green when I start It and stays green until it powers off. It is not red ring of death obviously, the Xbox 360 E isn't even supposed to get red ring, the power button flashes red, it is not a solid red. I opened it up and the Xbox is very clean, minimal dust. The thermal paste was dry but could that really cause it to shut down immediately..? Wouldn't I at least be able to get to the dashboard? It was almost powdery dry. I should also note this went on for about 2 months until it was unplayable, the Xbox never even got hot it always felt normal temp when it would power down, sometimes on the colder side. I've seen many posts relating to this instance without definitive answers so I'm hoping to fix my problem so others with the same problem and no answers can rest assured.. :) Any help/input is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Xbox 360 E: Fan not Running! Ventilation insufficiant

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 17:16:20 -0700

Hey everyone! Ive got a great big ol problem.

I get the "Ventilation is insufficiant" error coming up on an XBOX 360 E.

I have opened the device up, and ran it without the case, where i get the same issue. at this time, the fan is never running. i have tried many things to get the fan to run, which are listed below.

1) I Applied 5.5V directly across the fans /+ aGND/ pins. The fan ran, which told me, that the pins on the board are not supplying sufficiant Voltage to the device.

2) With the knoledge gained from above, I Decided to try a 12V Mod, and i spliced the /+ to GND/ of the fan to the /12V to GND/ of the Disc Tray, which still provided no power to the fan.

I am unable to figure out why the device will not Fan On. does anyone else have some information i can use to fix this issue? the device knows it is overheating, but wont power the fan.

Xbox 360 E: My Xbox 360 is overheating for no reason!

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 10:01:18 -0700

Hi,

this is the first time i have ever asked a question on ifixit , okay here it goes.

So my problem is that when i try to boot up my Xbox 360 e console (which is jtag)

it starts over heating for no reason , i mean i just started up the Xbox 360 and it starts overheating. my power button starts flashing red and the fan starts spinning

like crazy when i start it up. It booted up 2 to 3 times but after that it didn't even boot up. it just turns on and then it closes. Before the problem my jtag used to blink after every 6 seconds and now my jtag just blinks once and it starts over-heating , the flashing light on the jtag means it is trying to boot up.

THANK YOU

(in advance)

Xbox 360 E: No power, can be only the cpu?

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 09:59:38 -0700

There is no light, nothing of nothing, and the power supply is always orange, it seems to output the right voltage, I opened the Xbox (I broke the plastic cover :( ) but what I can relate to this problem is the CPU, is there something that can I check? (sorry for the bad English I hope you will understand me)

Here they are, i checked the first one said by alex and they seem to be fine, all this white "dust" can be related to the problem? For old turkey, i will check better, but after the isopropyl alcohol will arrive and i have cleaned the board, if you have something where can i check voltages and other things it will help me a lot

Xbox 360 E: Over-heating at start-up

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 08:37:14 -0700

My Xbox 360 within minutes of being turned on, will pop-up the over-heating notice and shut down. The red light in the middle of the power button will blink for about a minute before completely shutting off. It will go thru this process 4-5 times until the fan makes a really loud noise, after that it turns on and works fine. How can I fix this?

Once I go to turn on the Xbox, the Power Supply's light turns off, and the Xbox turns on for a split second. The Power Supply only goes back on after replugging. Any idea of what it could be?
