the video on my Xbox is all weird like...help please!
« on: December 27, 2007, 09:42:52 PM »
For some reason, the video is now getting all light colored and/or bright.  I found out that it's not the cable, but it's the a/v connector in the back!  Any ideas on how to fix it once I figure out how to open it???

seems like it since applying upwards pressure seems to fix it.

the mobo may not be settin correctly,or could be damaged from incorrect removal,i'd say a pin or two might be broke,break out a multimeter and test the continuity on the pins on the underside of the av connector to their corresponding pins on the av connector,if you get one or two with no continuity,try to set some solder in there to bridge the gap

I had this problem on my ps1 but it got dark so I would suggest finding a way to get the cable in the right way to make it normal then using tape or glue even to get it to stay.

well, let's see....the person I bought it from GLUED IT SHUT!  So I couldn't just lift it off like you're supposed to be able to.  Otherwise I would have saved it, but oh well.
