Hi, I have an 2 year old 360 with undistorted sound and (as far as I can tell ) controller working fine but no video output

I have changed the output cables and checked to ensure that this area is set up and switched correctly (with another working 360)
Have re initiated the machine

but all with no luck at all!

Any helpful suggestions please.

Thanks .

I had this problem a few days ago... started to get red/greenish tint on the screen and artifacting. I fixed it by adding some washers below the GPU heatsink and lots of AS5. Somehow, it's up and working now.

I have the same problem. 2 yr old Xbox360... Sound is fine, but no video.

I use yellow, red, white cables... I bought new A/V cables, but still same problem.

What I noticed is: if I plug in the green HD cable to my yellow RCA video plug, I can see my picture in Black & White.

SO, MY QUESTION IS:
IF I PURCHASE A/V CABLES W/ S-VIDEO, DO YOU THINK S-VIDEO WILL WORK (IF YELLOW RCA DOESN'T)?

Thanks!

This just happened to me too. I wonder if there's anything common between the issues? I've never noticed my 360 over heat or gave it a reason to. I pluged the green cable into the yellow RCA one and it's still distorted (i get video back after the towel trick for about 10 minutes) hmm...

An X-Clamp job *may* fix your problem, but a heat gun or a proper reflow is probably a better bet.

i have the same exact problem and was wondering whether there was a sure way to fix it for good and if so who could do it for me?

Hmm. I'm wondering how long the problem's be happening? I've only seen a post from like april on another forum. Currently I've done the towel trick like three times so far, and only now is my 360 actually running for longer then ten minutes. I currently have the green cable in place of the yellow one to just have black and white and it seems to be just fine. Does anyone know if that will actually keep it from going screwy again? Or think that colour would be just fine, and I'm not even delaying the inebitable?

*inevitable*

The towel trick has undoubtedly done harm to your system, you should have never even considered doing it.

Eh? I ment I'm only doing the towel trick because I've gotten this problem. It's running fine right now. Honestly? I'd love it if it would just red ring, then I can send the bloody thing in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Right - that's why people do the towel trick, nobody does it on a working system, unless they're completely retarded. Technically if you get the 3 red lights now, it's because of the warranty fraud (towel trick), so you shouldn't even mention "towel trick" and "send it in" in the same post here, unless you're telling someone not to do it, trust me.

i have got this problem now. it started out just going greenish when it got hot, but now its giving no video output.

I have already previously repaired the xbox with the xclamp replacement, so i guess i'll open up the xbox and loosen / tighten the bolts.

nope, didnt work... anyone got a solution then?

This started happening to me yesterday. As I wasp laying the screen kept turning green. At first I thought it was my TV so I tried it on a another TV. Then I thought it was maybe the Component cables' HD fault, so I switched to SD mode and still no luck.

Ive never done the towel trick and have fixed my 3RLOD twice.

How exactly do I fix this no-video problem? Could it be because I don't use any washers and just machine screws to screw down the heatsinks or maybe the thermal paste layer is too thin?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
