xbox 360 display problem?

[Mactoshdog]

hey guys,
i was half way through playing a match online, when all of a sudden my TV gets all pixilated/stripped?
i have tried playing on different games, same problem, iv tried playin on the HD setting, and regular, same problem.
however so far, it has not done this so far while watching tv which leads me to think it is probably an xbox problem..

has anyone had anything like this befor? anyone know how to fix it or can it be fixed? or am i buying a new xbox?

cheers guys, anyhelp would be good
(sorry i could not describe it better, and a photo dosent show enough ditail to be helpful)

Sounds like it is about to RROD to me i'm afraid.

If it is less than 3 years old it will be fixed by Microsoft under warranty. One of the lads first releases just RROD' and they still did it under warranty for him...

Green?

Has it gone all green? because thats what happen to me went green and pixeled and fuzzy. Had to send it off to microsoft in germany, cost about 70 quid but once its done ur console gets warranty for a year.

Might as well buy a new one for £100 and get a 3 year warranty if thats the case

yep, green and pixeled is a good description
and i have had it fixed by a second hand shop as its had the rrod befor out of warentee
is there no "caught it early" fix that can be done?
cheers guys!

Best bet would be too sell it on for cheap, so that someone can fix it themseleves and re-sell etc.

my dad has said he wont to try and fix it
apparently he thinks its easy......
ohh well, when he brakes it that means he owns me one

Unless your dad is a very good electrician, then he will be owing you a new xbox lol.

if it s the "rrod" then it'll cost ya about £5 & about 45 minutes to fix it

Itll be the E74 error comming on. Its caused by the GPU heatsink putting pressure on the board and GPU itself. Ive lost an Xbox to it, it sucked.
Sometimes they can be fixed, sometimes they cant.

try that to start, if that doesnt work, there are other videos which go into more detail.
