I'm assuming the video card went bad. The xbox powers on and boots, but the screen says no signal. I've tried different components/HDMIs/TVs. Nothing has solved it.

Probably the same thing as me. The crappy thermal paste they use gets hot and melts and the connection becomes bad. Send it back.

I know how to install springs now...I replaced my front shocks, which requires removing the springs. I'm glad I learned how to do it on my own. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. The biggest bitch was borrowing the cheap *** spring compressors from Advanced Auto.

Yes, I bought OEM front L & R shocks.

I thought about the Ventus, but I don't want to have mismatching tires...I'm a perfectionist like that.

spring compressor is just scary to use at home but ya its nice to learn it yourself.

im thinking maybe the 40th anniv had sport shocks or something?

id rather save $ than care about the looks of my tires.

So what did you do? I called a guy that fixes xbox360s. He said he's been able to fix a few and he's also said that the repairs didn't fix the issue. So it's a gamble basically. He offered I can trade in my console + $50 for a refurbished unit.
