Hi.

To start ensure that the problem is not related to cable connection. If you are using the red/white (audio) and yellow (video) cables, try replacing the yellow cable.

Test also using a different cable for example HDMI or component (red, green blue).

Disconnect XBox power cable and restart to reset the console.
Turn the Xbox 360 off and turn the console back on with the first player controller. Press and hold the "Y" button while pulling the right trigger at the same time , while the Xbox controller connects to the game system. The system will display video, if it does not, check TV setting again.
If that does not help, then there is a fault.

If the problem is not cable related, and restarting the XBox does not help, then the video chip is fried. This often happens because of the soldering on video chip legs loosing contact. In that case the mainboard must be replaced.

If problem is not due to connection (ensure first), and there is a fault, then contact Microsoft to get a quote on repair. See:Xbox.com | Contact Support

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. This issue might occur due to hardware failure and possibly the GPU (Graphics processing unit) failure. The issue is heat, and what you need to do is take your system apart, clean off the GPU and motherboard, and put a spacer (like a washer) between the heat sink and the motherboard. This will allow "breathing" and keep the motherboard cool. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.



Thanks

Hello,

Check some of the items below to ensure they are not the cause of the problem.

  1. Check your AV cables. They might be bad and need replacement.
  2. The AV jacks at the back of your screen might be lose or malfunctioning. Try using another screen/monitor to test your display.
  3. AV Output might be set wrongly. Check your manual to see if you need to change to HDTV or normal TV settings.
If all the above are not causing the problem, rest assured that the problem might be with Overheating.
Normally, you can fix your xbox 360 no picture problem. An hour of cool down is all that is needed. Turn the system off and wait.Keep a good video feed by simply not overheating again. Every time the system overheats, you will encounter this same problem.
Take a few simple steps and improve the airflow. Airflow can be restricted just by placing the console in a cabinet or on a shelve. Keep it in an open location.Avoid putting your system near other electronics. Air can circulate from opening a few windows, too. Even using a small table fan can help cool everything down.

Take care.

you probably have a broken video or hdmi cable. somtimes the cables can even break at the connections or under the plastic coating, making the video going from your xbox to your tv not work.

Xbox 360 static lines no picture, but sounds,

Log in to your XBox live account and sign up to return your box for service. Even if it is out of warranty Microsoft has been fixing them for free including covering shipping. Our box just went through, took 11 days total.

I have sound on my xbox 360 but no picture

I've seen this symptom before. Try removing the external hard-drive and see if the picture comes back. Another cause could be the video resolution setting. If the Xbox video resolution is set higher than your TV can display you will get a blank picture with sound. Try reducing the Xbox resolution if the hard-drive trick doesn't work.

My xbox 360 wont show a picture but it has sound

it might bea problem with your actual video cord that plugs into the tv.... umm my xbox has a lot of issues too but ive never had this. id suggest you let it say off for a while and try somebody elses cords that connect the xbox to the tv to see if its an issue with your xbox or if its with your cords. ill also suggest you call microsoft and they can troubleshoot...

please rate my solution :) thanks

My xbox 360 wont show a picture but it has sound

Since your sound works, you know the xbox is booting properly.  Check two things: 1) try another television to make sure it's not the tv.  2) try another cable(from a friend?) to see if the cable is bad.
**Also, if the video settings were saved on an unsupported setting, it could cause the screen to not show video.  If you try these 2 things and you think someone might have saved bad settings, I recall a button combination you can use to reset certain things, and I try to help if it comes to that.

Console boots up, got sound but no picture

The Scaller chip on your xbox 360 went basically there is nothing you can do... This is going to sound really strange but the system is already toasted wrap it with a towel and let it over heat the chips again this is a temporary solution but it does work... Under no circumstances would i tell you to continue to do it but if your just trying to finish a game you might aswell, Either way you are going to have to get another one....

My xbox 360 has no picture but sound only no red lights green ok

First take off my hard drive on the 360. Then plug it to the tv not with HDTV (use the red, yellow and white make sure it is on tv not HDTV) because it will not work for HDTV setting . then plugit into the wall with the 360 laying down not up and down and turned it on. (no picture but sound) with the 360 on take 1 towel fold it long ways and wraped it around 360 from back to front (make sure you cover the fans in the back to make it over heat.) leave your 360 on until it red rings (you can hear the 360 quit down. it takes about 15-30 mins depending on how fast it over heats. once this happens unwrap the 360 and turn it off wait 5 secs and power it back on and there you go you should have picture and sound again. if you still have problem you can now can send it to get repaired since there is a 3 year warrenty for red ringed 360's.
