Post by: demi on March 20, 2009, 04:05:44 PM: The weird thing is it goes off and on. It will do that, but if I wait, it goes back to normal.

Right now, it is normal, as if there was no problem.

I bought new Component cables thinking that was the issue.

I connected my Wii to the same input and there was no weird filter going on, and it doesnt appear when I go to regular television channels

Hopefully this just goes away.

Post by: Bildi on March 20, 2009, 06:48:57 PM: I got a similar effect but more red and blue posterisation. It happened a couple of times but I just switched it off and on and it went away. Haven't had it for months.

Post by: demi on March 20, 2009, 09:45:50 PM: Now my Xbox simply doesnt display video at all. Audio comes through, but nothing else beyond that. Something must have fried. Wonder if I can trade it in.

Hmm...I read about this once on gaf. I think the guy had to replace the xbox because just replacing the video cable didn't fix it and the problem is in the video card outputting.

Sorry :(

Now you can uh...trophy hunt...in the meantime.

Post by: brawndolicious on March 21, 2009, 03:33:30 AM: That is the exact same image problem before mine broke a month or so ago. It was error code 74 and apparently the connection to the hard drive was broken or something. Did you try playing the console without a hard drive?
