No, just a kinect issue. I know they are cheap, I was joking about not being able to afford one, I was just stating my problem started when I had everything hooked up and it worked, I completely unhooked it for a while, then hooked it back up and can't get it to come back on. After fiddling with it more I'm almost positive it is hardware failure, dammitIs it a HDMI issue? You can find cords relatively cheap these days. Though idk where you are located.
