Xbox 360 Issues with Connecting Monitor | Randomly monitor switch off and on while on-game

Xbox Fans Hi,

I'm having an issue that thought to post a threat, maybe someone has same or can assist, would highly appreciate input.

Issue :

Console: Xbox 360 Elite

Monitor: HP EliteDisplay E243M

While im gaming normally, the Monitor starts turning off and on by itself at random moments.

Troubleshooting Done Already :

1) I have tested connecting monitor to my laptop, no issues..... (so we can understand that issue is rising from the Microsoft Xbox 360 Console)

Further testing needed :

1) I have to change the HDMI Cable and see if the issue is from the HDMI Cable (i will try connect the HDMI Cable to the monitor and see if issue persist

2) I will try to test different Power Socket too (on xbox and monitor)

Technical Evaluations :

1) Maybe there is an issue with the Xbox 360 circuit board, mainly probably something is disconnecting and connecting again, probably deterioration with the connection of monitor to xbox, (i have the xbox for more then 5 years, im assuming its getting deteriorated)

Any additional input ??

What do you think is causing the issue ? did anyone encountered similar issues after using same console or similar after several years ? Do Xbox Circuit Boards run into hours of testing to see what is the lifespan of a console ?

Thank you in advance, any input is highly appreciated.

:)

 

random pixels while playing games or on dashboard on static image on xbox 360 slim HALO REACH EDITION

This is truly an annoying problem. About 80% of the time, my Xbox 360 plays just fine, but every once in a while, whether I'm playing a game or on the dashboard, I'll notice random pixels flickering. Sometimes, it's 1-2 pixels, other times it's more. This
is playing on a 27" Samsung LED monitor, capable of 1080p and connected via HDMI.

Here's the tricky part: At first, I read that it could be the HDMI cable, so I swapped it out with a NEW MICROSOFT BRAND one. It's still having the same issue (just happened to me while playing NFS: Most Wanted). I run a dual monitor setup so I switched
the Xbox 360 over to the other monitor, still having this weird issue.

The cherry on top: when I'm using the monitors on my computer (I have a switch that let's me switch back and forth), I get NONE of that pixelation.

My concern is that maybe there's something wrong with my Xbox 360...? Or could it be something possible with the connection going from the Xbox 360 to the HDMI switch, and from the switch, the HDMI cable going into the monitor?

 

Xbox 360 won't connect to TV

In my opinion that is definitely a HDMI connection issue. Check this support link for a possible solution:

Hi,

Do you see "no signal" on the monitor or it just turn off ?

If no signal AND if the HDMI cable is ok , its 99.99 % sure that your HDMI out port from the console has a hardware issue.

If turn off AND no red lights on the console, its a sync issue / bad compatibility with the monitor > So you should try the Xbox 360 on a tv ( not a pc monitor )

If red lights , check on www.xbox.com/support and search the error code ( 1 / 2 / 3 or 4 red lights - Flashing … )

Hope it help you.

Regards,

 

Hey !

Thanks for your input

it just turn off and on again, i'm afraid it could be a bad compatibility with the monitor, which is really weird. the xbox 360 is from 2008 roughly, the monitor is 2018. Thats a 10 year Gap in technology and im just hoping its not the case.....

i will proceed with further troubleshooting and see.

 

Ok, Issue identified

Xbox 360 Working Perfectly with a TV

Issue with Monitor Compatibility Confirmed.
