I've had my 360 for just under 2 years and its been great, had no problems until recently - was playing halo 3 and all of a sudden the graphics went all blue and green. even the dashboard, menu's, etc had the same colour defect. So i turned off the 360 and when i switched it back on, all i got was a blank AV screen. The boot up sound still plays, so the console must still be running ok, but the picture isn't getting through at all. I took the AV lead back to the shop to have it tested and it worked fine, so it must be something wrong with the hardware. Got no RROD or anything - i wish that was the case because then i could send it to be fixed for free, whereas MS are going to charge nearly £80 to fix it the way it is now.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of fault?
If so what did you do about it?
Nap I just had the same exact problem happen to mine that you described. I know its not the AV port on my TV because I tried another port and I have the same issue. I get sound but have no picture it is either purple or black with jagged lines that flow on the screen. Ive got no error codes and the unit operates as normal without the picture. I have yet to try another AV cable but from what I have read I doubt that is the problem. Others are having the same problem as us so we are not alone. I am contacting Microsoft tomorrow. I will let you know what happens tomorrow
