No RED rings of death but white ones?

My 360 offically died today. Not with red rings of death like a lot of people describe but by not having the green circle appear (it doesnt light up and stays clear) and no dashboard coming on the screen. What happened to it!? It worked fine last time I played it but now it wont even boot up properly. Also, the disk drive makes a weird sound while trying to load a game. I'm already sending it back under warrenty but I still would like to know what went wrong. No RED rings of death but white ones?
Try a different power source. No RED rings of death but white ones?

If you only have ONE controller connected only one light will be on.

What I'm saying is that NO lights of any color apear in the ring, other than the central power light which still comes on. It's like it doesnt acknowledge my controller at all and it dosent show anything on my tv. And yes I've checked my cables like a hundred times now.
try to find out the problem - but if your getting no lights not sure if this will help



The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a ''hidden'' error code



* Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.

* Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.

* The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).

* Release the eject button and press it again.

* The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.

* Release the eject button and press it again.

* The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.

* Release the eject button and press it again.

* The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.

* Release the eject button and press it again.

* The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.



You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.



Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:



* All four lights flashing - 0

* One light flashing - 1

* Two Lights flashing - 2

* Three lights flashing - 3



0001 power supply problem

0002 power supply problem

...

0010 over heating

0011 over heating

0012 over heating

0013 over heating

...

0020 (Not yet known, possibly overheating)

...

0022 GPU Error / GPU Overheating

...

0102 unknown error - littereally means the console does not know what is wrong. possibly a short or cold solder joint somewhere (2 reports of people repairing this, one was removing moisture build up inside the console, the other used a hot-air rework to reflow the BGA Ram chips)

...

0110 (Not yet known)

...

1022 (Not yet known)



THINGS TO TRY



1. Try restarting the console.

2. If restarting the console does not resolve the behavior, follow these steps:

* Turn the console off.

* Unplug all the power and AV cables from the console.

* Unplug the power cord from the wall socket.

* Firmly reconnect all the cables.

* Turn on the console.

3. If these steps do not resolve the behavior, turn the console off, remove the hard drive, and then turn on the console. If the 3x Red LED error light is no longer displayed, turn the console off, re-attach the hard drive, and then turn on the console.

[/QUOTE] Thanx for posting so much info but since I'm not getting any rings (wish I were at least then I'd have an idea of what's happening) red or green. I'm stuck on what to do. I rebooted like a bunch of times and theres no change. Plus the sound the disk tray is making while it trys to load a game speaks of a more serious problem.

Great, I'm having the same problem. Damn you Batman.
