Strange problem with the 360.

Moved things round not too long ago which meant unplugging the mains of the xbox completely for about 3 days. Haven't used it up until now but it has now developed the following problems...

A) it won't connect to my 32" full hd LG tv
B) No controllers will connect (even the wired windows/xbox one which I someone's use if I'm out of battery)

Gone through some xbox support stages, psu seems ok and is turning green on startup. And tv recognises that a device is connected via hdmi but after a few seconds of "connecting" says no signal

Any of you know what's causing these problems and how to fix?

My fiancé just came home wih gow3 and I can't play it

Bad times haha

FYI it is an elite about 3 years old and previously repaired and apparently modified by ms to combat future heating issues whatever that means :S

Still haven't sorted this. Anybody else had both these problems simultaneously?

TV sorted, i had the bad luck of having 3 (YES 3) faulty HDMI cables!

Ahhh!

Controllers still arent working but Ill update when ive found a solution for that.

About this (Just cleaning out my subscriptions folder lol)...

On mine, the 360 doesn't even launch until the TV is connected, and controllers don't sync properly until I switch my TV over to the HDMI channel that it is connected to. (I can literally leave it on for 5 mins, however the start up screen and boot up will not commence until it is connected.

Once the TV was back on it took a few attempts but it worked after a while.

This was a new feature that came with the new update last year as far as the on-line Microsoft chat could tell me.
