Very odd... I was playing it thursday night, and it worked just fine. I have two xbox's (little brother and mine), and I was trying to gather all my games up to go trade them for BF3. I got one game out of my xbox, and then connected my bros xbox to get another one of my games out of his. When I connected mine back up it wont turn on at all. When I hook up my brothers it works just fine.

Is my xbox dead?

Try switching the power cords.

This may be a dumb question, but you aren't just trying to use your controller to turn it on correct? It could have come out of sync with the box. You are hitting the main power button right? Maybe try rubbing the button around while pressing it. If you moved it to make room for your brother's, something could have come loose. If not,

Did this work?

I've used the main power button to try to turn it, but also the controller that was synced with it also. If I can't get it to turn on, I'm going to hitting it

I'm guessing whacking it didn't help?

I have no idea to be honest. I'm not in Baton Rouge. I'm sure there is somewhere down there
