tony tt Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi folks i recently got an xbox off ebay but when its plugged in it will load the games in work for 5mins then the graphics go all streaky and scrambled then normal and bounce between the two pictures. Im in talks with the seller just now but just wondered if anyone knew what it could be? My internet router isnt too far from it could this cause it interference? Thanks.

pistonbroke Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sounds like it's fubard mate. Have you tried connnecting it in different ways to eliminate whether it only happens with certain connections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Maybe its overheating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porky1978 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 try using different scarts or hdmi cable. My new elite wouldnt play sound on dvd's until i bought an official 'elite' hdmi cable... seems worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymdee Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sounds like it's overheating. mine did this recently. I took it apart (using search on the Net) and cleaned the thermal compound off the chips and applied new stuff. Seems to work fine again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
