Xbox 360 turns on but nothing happens after that
I have an Xbox-360 which I only started using after a couple of years sitting in a box. When I turn it on the Xbox 360 symbol appears along with the Xbox sound. My remote flashes and after about 5 minutes it stops at player 1, then nothing happens. The Xbox isn't freezing it just doesn't proceed to Xbox home nor the game. I've unplugged everything 100 times and cleaned the Xbox and still nothing happens. It just won't proceed from the Xbox sign that appears when you turn it on.
Anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately I don't have enough rep to comment to ask a question, so this will have to do.
Are you getting any red rings on your console? Red Ring Information
If not, is your 360's disk drive spinning? You can usually hear it if your close enough, or feel it spool up. If it isn't, it might be the DVD player itself.
If you DVD is spooling, it might be the laser that reads the disks. What type of disks have you tried? Games, DVDs, CDs, no disk?
It also could have a boot issue. My best guess would be take it to GameStop or Geek Squad have them look at it. If Geek Squad actually looks at it (it's been awhile since I've used them), they might charge you money to open the case.
Hopefully this offered a little bit of help.

Why does my Xbox turn on but nothing happens?
If you notice that your Xbox One has lit up but nothing is coming on screen, the issue could be the HDMI cable itself. 1. Check to see if you've connected the HDMI cable properly to both the Xbox One and TV. If nothing comes on, try switching the HDMI ports on the TV.Why is my Xbox 360 not booting up?
If you still cannot turn on the console, there may be an issue with the wall socket or power supply. Use the adapter in another room to rule out possible outlet issues. If the unit still doesn't turn on, it might be damaged. Get a new power supply to see if it allows the Xbox 360 to power on properly.Fixing Xbox 360 that can't go on but the green light is showing
