Is my 360 broken?

So I just got a new xbox after my last two fucked up. One got the red ring, the other one just got stepped on by a drunk kid I know and now the disk tray won't open.
So i got ANOTHER xbox like 2 days ago, was working fine and now all of a sudden nothing happens when I turn it on.
The fan comes on, the xbox is running, the middle light is green, but nothing comes up on screen. My wireless controller also won't connect. What's wrong?

Probably it is an xbox. not known for quality that's for sure.

Try lighting your money on fire. Then buy a ps.

Sounds like the gpu needs to be reflowed/reballed. You can do the same with red ringed box. It's not very difficult.
For the one with the disc tray, it's hard to say. Sounds like a part could have got broke, but that might not be the case. Take it apart and take the drive out, then take the drive apart. Make sure the laser is on track and not stuck and put it toward the center. Just look at it and you should be able to tell if something is off. Something may have just come apart or been shifted. I've fixed a lot of them like this. Also, make sure the parts move freely. The rail sometimes gets dust and stuff built up and won't allow it to move.

I actually tried switching the disk drive from a different xbox into the one that got stepped on by chief drunkey. Turns out that disk drives are only compatible with the xbox they were shipped with. So whenever you put an xbox or 360 game in it, it says "Please insert disc into an xbox 360" even though it already is. But it still plays DVD's. SO that's fuckin stupid.
The other xbox that turned on but nothing came on screen? Well that one works again. I think maybe because my hard drive wasn't full in or something. I'm not sure, I hate xbox's. :/

I've never had a problem with an xbox aside from the original 360, got the red ring of death or whatever.

99% of technical failure is user error...
check your video output settings as well as your tv settings. could be the hdmi cable.

the only one worth trying to fix is the disk tray one, the others will all have their problems return quickly.

I can flash/jtag/repair 360's, pm for details.

That's not necessarily true if you repair it correctly. ie: don't wrap it in a towel or put it in the oven. Reball it the right way and make sure you use the flux. No clean flux is the best in this case. Also put a quality thermal compound on it.

considering the reballing lab i own, i beg to differ. those consoles were over clocked anyway, thats the real reason they died.
