anyone ever experience this:

played NCAA 08 FB and shut down around 11pm; next day, went to play again around 3pm; ....no ring of light; no power light on the console etc. Zero green lights typically seen when the console is on. however, the game and audio still showing up in HD. I figure, "ok...not that big of deal"

but then, I can not connect my controller; at all. Put brand new batteries in etc. Nothing.

I installed a new Sony hometheater w/ wireless rear speakers via IR from the last time I played until I tried again. Unplugged my surge protector during installation etc.. X-box has worked fine even with a 2.4Ghz wireless router within 3' for about 10 months; then all of a sudden it goes tits up.

Contacted x-box etc....they said they'd send me a box to send it in for repairs. Just curious; could an over-saturation of RF signals lead to this? I hooked the console up to our bedroom TV tonight to see if it was the RF over-saturation etc; but still couldn't connect to the console.

The only thing i haven't done is try to connect a differnt controller to it; but I think it's moot; given no ring of light on console; not even a green light indicating the power is on, despite the game showing up on the TV.

Just curious if anyone had experienced this. I'm planning on moving my router upstairs out of the cave the the replaced/refurbished console comes back. Zero problems so far wth the 360 - I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Otherwise I'm going to PS3.
