My 360 has been fine ever since i got it up till a few days ago. I was playing Sonic the Hedgehog when the graphics went funky. Only way i can describe it is like changing the colour settings on a pc to 8 bit or 16 bit.

Turned off the console and back on again and now i have no picture at all but the 360 still appears to boot up. All fans come on, i can hear sound and the game will load and run.

I have no flashing red lights on the console and i have tried another tv with no joy. I have tried both sets of cables i.e. the component ones which connect to my 42" plasma and the red/white/yellow which connect to a scart block on a different TV.

Any ideas guys?

I have the same problem atm. I havent found the solution yet. Tryied lot of different things.
Is your xbox360 hacked or modded?
Also, what is your xbox360 realease date...

I also have the same problem, I don't know what's wrong, i guess its the GPU.
If anyone knows something please reply.

I dont think its GPU, something wrong with other chips maybe. I wanted to ask whats your xbox360 release date and did u used any mods on it?

Not sure what the release date is as i'm typing this from work and don't have the xbox here. I got it about 9 months ago. And, yes, i have modded the DVD firmware but i did that a while ago and has been fine up to a couple of weeks ago.

Have just  resided in the fact that i'm gonna have to buy a new box. Did write an email to Microsoft complaining that i had spent £300 on a console for it to only last 9 months and thought it was unacceptable. Suprise suprise...had no reply so far.

Realease date is on the back of the console, there is a sign with one date.
Btw, have you tried different cables? Borrow your friend's hdtv or vga cable and try it out, might be problem with cables. I havent tryied it on myself yet, but will do soon.
I undestand you modded your xbox couple of weeks ago?

I don't think is the cable, i tried with different cables on TV and ON my PC monitor, the same thing, sound yes but picture no.
Release date for my XBOX is 6-2-06 and is modded.
Iwonder why i don't get an error light or something...

I modded it a while ago. Have tried other cables too.

Have just been on the phone to Microsoft Xbox support. YAY! they replied to my email....finally.

Did explain that i have opened up the console when it first went faulty to check that all fans were running. It was producing a lot of heat...more than it should of been in my opinion. Was told this wasn't a problem and am now being sent the labels to allow me to send it back for repair (it's only 10 months old).

I did state in my original email to them that i was annoyed that i had spent over £300 on the console and feel that a 10 month lifespan was totally unacceptable. Heck, i have an original Atari VCS on my shelf here thats nearly 30 years old and still works perfectly!!!!!

I got picture! There are some circuit problems on xbox360 motherboard, near A/V cable connector. I havent found solution yet. I have picture only temporary...

Will write, if i find the solution.

Hello all,


Got the same problem. Modded with garyopa/maximus 2.3 (Hitatchi v46). I have had this problem before and the solution at that time was to flash my drive to original and reflashing it to the modded firmware. After that the console worked fine for over a week. Same problems now. Seems a bit fishy *snif* *snif*

When you went back to the original firmware you had no problems? Also have you tried reverting back to the original once again to confirm after the problem arises again. It could very well be a configuration problem concerning compatibility from your drive and firmware. I have tested the garyopa/maximus 2.3 on 46, 47, and 48 without a problem so I would check my sources before downloading - XBINS is THE source.

Search forums for the video fix - it is around, but please do explain if your original firmware fixed this, as I have heard no one else state that as a fix because it is an hardware issue (atleast with the lights).
