XBOX360 Problem: Never heard of before- Help?

My XBOX360 has stop working today.
It is unlike any problems I haveseen before... So I'm asking for help...

Ihear the audio on bootup, but I get no picture.

I only see shakeypurple-coloredlinesdisplayed across the screen on HD.
The same thing happens on standard. But it's gray and grainy.

I have verified that it's on the correct HD/STANDARD switch and the coponent cables go into the correct ports.
The XBOX operates as if it's runiing normal, with no red rings or anything.

It seems like it should work, but there is no picture.
I have tried two different TVs. And even bought another set of component cables.
I've tired cleaning the cables too.

I called support, but of course, it would cost $99 because it's not the rings of death and I have an original XBOX.

Is there anyway I can fix it, or something else I could try?

If I had no other option, should I get it repaired, or invest in a new one?

What would get me an XBOX360 that won't do this again, the cheapest way possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm getting really tired of microsoft.

It costs $99 to repair a problem that they caused.
Why do "we" stand for this. The customer.

Why can't we do something about it...?

the towel trick might help.

You might just want to send it in so you don't end up messing up your TV. Last I checked HDtv's cost a lot more to replace then a 360.Strife88

This is the orginal poster. I was borrowing a friends account at first.

I've checked the cables. And I can assure they are in the right ports and on the right setting.

I've reached the end of the troubleshooting. I'm debating at this point if I want to envoke the red rings....

I've had this console since Sept. 06

i got a similar problem , my picture has completely gone but i can still get sound. ive tried it in different tvs and i get the same prob, i even bought a new HD AV cable but that didnt work either.

i was just on cod4 and all the colours went weird and yellow . so i treid turning it off and back on again (the tv and the xbox 360) and i got no picture.

Are you matching the colors correctly on the Component cable? Red goes in red, Yellow goes in yellow, White goes in white, the snoz berries taste like snoz berries.TheJustin
