I just got in from a long day of minimum wagin' and socialising with idiots. I thought I'd do some Darkspawn slaying to try to chill myself out (and imagine my bosses face on every Genlock that I see, different topic).

But my 360 won't turn on when I tell it. Everything is plugged in and switched on, I dust it down every few days to make sure it doesn't overheat and I keep it clear in the middle of my desk away from any debris that might block the air holes (as you can see, I use the technical terms, I'm just that knowledgeable). I'm still not getting any response when I push the on button. It's acting like it's not plugged in even though I've checked all the wires and they're all connected up right.

Has this type of thing ever happened to anyone else? Am I missing something?

I'm currently on a crazy tight budget due to my crappy job and won't be able to afford any proper repairs until sometime next year, so I'm kinda hoping that this isn't serious.

Any help would be appreciated. :D

Does the power brick light up at all?
yeah my guess would be the power brick, I spent roughly an hour one time trying to get my xbox to turn on. I checked all the wires but neglected to notice that the cord connecting the power brick to the xbox wasn't plugged in.

I was so embarressed.

If that doesn't work, try plugging it into outher outlets or check your fuses. If none of that works it might be bricked.
