URGENT: how to get 360 out of 1080P mode with 1080i tv and no video signal

Deusfaux

So I changed my friend's 360 to 1080P because we were testing out a new LCD

Before I left I forgot to put it back to 1080i as the tv it's normally used with is that.

So now it wont display a signal obviously and without being able to see anything it's proving a challenge to change it back

There must be some kind of reset for it or something?

Please help!

Sorry I don't own a X360... but I did run into the same situation with the PS3. Took my PS3 over to my friends house who didn't have a HDMI TV. What worked for the PS3 is to turn it on with the Power button, then hold down the button for 5 seconds and do a "hard" shut down, and when powered back up again should be set back to a default display. Maybe this works for the X360?

Good luck, maybe they have an FAQ or it says in the user manual. I hope your not fuxed. O_o

use the switch on the AV cord turn it to SD mode then change the video options then flick the switch back to HD mode

or at the very least if someone can give us a description of the full layout of the menus that would involve switching thigns so we can do it blind with the correct number of switches

Using the standard HD/SD cable? Can you not just switch to SD mode, and set it from there? It's been a while since I used mine but I seem to remember you can still set the HD modes even in SD.
