... cant see why you cant ... boot with the tv and controller run the server app then unplug... even though you should be able to ssh to it with only the network and power plugged in

nb: the xbox will fail to boot past bios hardware check without tv plugged in sooo that might be the problem

The tv doesn't have to be connected, however the cable does. Or you could wire the correct pins (9-13, 10-14) in the Xbox tv-out jack.

That's strange mine definatley won't turn on unless I have the AV cable plugged into the Xbox. The LED flashes green/orange and it just sits there. Maybe it's to do with the mod you have. I use the font hack so my Xbox essentially boots normally into the xbox bios then crashes and loads the other one.
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?
