Question about Microsoft Xbox 360 Console

Xbox 360 video and controller problem

Everytime I start the xbox 360 system, the video on the screen shows wavey, static-like lines stretching across the screen, while they go rolling up and down. Happens on all different types of tvs. Controller issue - After about fifteen minutes of game playing, my character will start doing things like jumping, shooting, etc when nothing on the controller is pressed. I have set the controller on the ground and the player will still do it's own things. I have even tried different controllers.

Additionally, the video works just fine. I can see the wavy lines though, on top of the video. Gets annoying after 10 minutes or so.

yes, i have the same problem with wavy lines over my picture. I've had the xbox for 2 years and it has worked fine, with a clear picture until now. I cannot think of anything that i have changed to make these 'interference' lines appear.

Whenever i start up my xbox i dont have anything on screen but a bunch of dots that move across the screen in unison

If your Xbox 360 does not have display you need to stop the heat getting to the chips. You can actually do this yourself as many have in this forum using the recommended Xbox 360 Repair guide.

Basically the guide will show you how to stop the heat build up with videos and household items, of course if you are in doubt send it in.

It has a preview video on the website.

Or of course you can send it in to have it fixed.

My xbox 360 keeps showing these dots on my screen. When I first start my xbox up it just looks kinda like static but whenever I play a game like mostly fallout 3 but also on gta 4 It gets worse and I don't...

Your GPU and/or ANA/HANA chips are failing. Eventually you will have a 1 light RRoD with an error screen (like E-74).

No screen on the Xbox 360

right do the towel trick it works. wrap the 360 in 2 towels and leave it on for 15 mins. then go bk to your xbox un wrap it. put it near a window if possible ( i did and its working fine) due to it being near a window you will get no overheating and its well ventilated.

Xbox 360 flickers across screen

it is your av cable however the components in the cable get a small static boost when u are using your controller so it becomes an intermittent fault ie;....when in game vidios or watching dvds, u rarely use the controller so u dont see the flickering and u only see it when in game play because u are in constant contact with the controlls and the components inside the av cable recieve a small static boost causing the interference.

Xbox 360 doesn't read the T.V

It sound like E74 Hana chip error very common, you could try fix it yourself, there are tutorials on the internet to fix the problem but you'll have to open your xbox and that would void the warranty.
the xbox sometimes doesn't show the red lights because the chip is not totally fried, so with the proper handle you could fix it.
If you do want to fix it by yourself here is a link showing how to do that.
