    Weird lines on TV


    Hey all. So i have multiple HD consoles. So i bought a 4 input 1 output switcher so they could all be plugged into my TV. But when i have the XBOX One plugged into the switcher and turn it on, one of two things happen. Either 1080p resolution doesn't come
    up at all as an option. Or i get these weird lines across the TV and it flickers a bit while i play games.

    This doesn't happen with any of my other consoles. Also when the XBOX One is connected directly to the TV and not into the Switcher, this doesn't happen. Any idea why this could be happening? Any advice and help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Hi Vans,

    Looking at those pictures, your console does indeed look like it is in need of some love.
    Here is how to submit your Xbox 360 for Repair.

    Let us know how that goes, or if you have anymore questions!

    here is a picture of what happened. I took it right when it happened because i never seen this happen before on any game system i owned and same with computer. But who knows i heard someone mention a graphics card failing.

    My console is still under warrenty as well, not to mention i dont play xbox non stop lol. i litterally play for a bit then shut it off because of how it messes up and even before i didnt play for a ridiculous amount of time.

    What is the model of this HDMI switch you are using? There seems to be some sort of incompatibility or fault with the HDMI switch you are using.

    Common problems for putting the Xbox behind an HDMI device usually involve the switch not being HDCP-compliant, or it only supports up to an outdated HDCP standard. Ideally, it should be HDCP 2.2 compliant.

    Another possible problem would be using older HDMI cables on either end of the switch. The oldest kind of HDMI cable can only support up to 1080i or 720p (Xbox One supports only the latter). You will want a cable that makes any mention of the term "High
    Speed", usually printed along the cable itself.

    Weird lines on screen

    Its splinter cell Conviction. Well the lines tend to stay white, but everything else gets all rainbow colored. But when i play fallout 3 it screws up to where its wierd bricks of color. But its even worst with gears of war it looks like a huge storm of
    rainbow squares. It doesnt make wierd sounds when i play either, it plays normal. Just the lines are annoying! if i had another picture i would post it. But currently i dont. When i submit it as a repair what do i submit it as? becasue i have no clue what
    error it is. I know its no red ring, do i just catorgorize it as "Other"? thanks guys so far you have been helpful.

    I hate to say it but what you're describing is something I would normally assign to a failing graphics adapter on a computer. I don't see why that symptomology would be any different on an Xbox 360 since it is still basically a specialized computer.
