    Screen saturated green, flashing blue. Component, video problems?


    I have not had many problems with my Xbox 360 (other than the occasional freeze) . I was playing TITANFALL when all of a sudden my screen started to flash blue then become ultra-saturated with a green/yellow tint. This color was
    present on everything on the Xbox (dashboard, DVD, etc.), not just the game. I thought it was my TV, but I switched video inputs to see a TV show, but that was completely fine. I simply reset the game system and everything was fine. After another 10 minutes
    or so, the same thing happens again with the blue flashes and the ultra-green saturation. The blue flashes keep happening continuously after the saturation happens as well

    This has been plaguing my system at 08-04-2014 and some days it won't even happen surprisingly. My thought could be that my component cables are broke as I have one of the original Xbox 360's with HD component outs
    to my 1080p TV    .

    I am also worried it might be overheating, or could be my video card messing up, and/or could be a precursor to the RROD red ring of death? Any ideas anyone? I am out of my one year warranty, unfortunately. Ugh. Thanks for any help!

    :)

    Help me connect my 360 to a new TV?

    Find a flashlight, or a flashlight app for your smartphone.



    Go in the back of the TV. Unplug the Component cables.



    Using the flashlight, illuminate all three Component video jacks and the Component cable. Plug the cabling back in, making absolutely sure that blue goes to blue, green to green, and red to red.

    Make sure no one has tampered or accidently changed the video input on your TV. Sounds like maybe your video cable internally deteriorated . Switch it out to see if there is any change.

    Bad quality

    "HDMI component" doesn't mean anything with respect to cabling. There is HDMI cabling. There is Component cabling. The two don't mix.



    What you're holding up is a Component/Composite cable with a red/green/blue cabling cluster and a yellow/white/red cabling cluster on the other end. My guess is you have the slider on that cable switched to regular video mode. You want it in HDTV mode.



    Chances are you have things mis-plugged in the back of your TV.



    Get out your flashlight. Get behind your TV. Carefully plug in the red/green/blue cable cluster to the red/green/blue video input on your TV. Find the yellow/red/white cluster. Carefully plug in the white and red cables to the audio input that goes with
    the TV's red/green/blue cluster.



    Note that there are two red RCA plugs on the XBOX's Component/Composite cable. Make sure you plug the correct red cable into the TV's video input and the other one into the audio input.

    Trouble Connecting to a HD PVR

    Composite is for SD video.

    You need to hook up the 360 to the Component input (red/green/blue). The 360 S does not come with a Component cable, just a composite cable. If you don't have the Component cable, you'll need to buy one.

    screen started to flash blue then become ultra-saturated with a green/yellow tint.

    If you've had an original 360 last this long you should count yourself as lucky. I have one of the original white ones and it's on it's last legs. I'm probably going to buy a new 360 within a month or so.

    Anyway, I would guess it's probably your component cable,. That would definitely be the cheapest thing to try first. If your TV has an HDMI input go get an HDMI cable from the store for like $10. That will isolate the component cable and the component
    output and let you know if the problem is in the cable or the 360 itself.
