    Lightning just hit the house (I think). there was definitely a power surge of some sort. The TV seems ok apart from the fact that we'v lost the cable signal. The Xbox that was plugged in but powered off at the time now seems dead? i.e. it wont power on. any suggestions?

    Same thing happened me last night.

    Check the power block on the ac adapter, there is no light coming on on mine, so I'm hoping its just that that's gone not the 360 itself, hopefully it'll be no owrse than that for you.

    Might just be the fuse, if your ethernet port was plugged in at the time that could be borked.
