Xbox 360 VGA cables giving green and purple screen

Corrdorr · Jan 17, 2014

Turned on my Xbox 360 earlier having not played it for a while and moving it about around a month ago. When I do so the screen is shifted to left and uses only shades off green and purple for colour. The right of the screen is just a green block. I'm using
VGA cables but not the ones with white and red audio inputs, it's got just one jack separate from the VGA input. Any idea what this is and how do I fix it?

HDMI Color (Green and Purple hues) Problems.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to know if anybody knew what was going on with my Xbox 360. It will display the screen only after I do the "Hold RT and Y down", but it's all miscolored in hues of purple and green. Anybody know why this is happening and how
to fix it? I've tried with multiple cables, so I know it's not my HDMI cable.

I'd appreciate any help!

You're better off just using the Xbox 360 VGA cable and a VGA switch box. Yes most switch boxes luck ugly, but they work. The switch box will allow you to connect your PC and 360 to the same screen, to swap, simply flick the switch.

Probably one of two things - either you need to check your input settings on your TV/monitor/projector and make sure it is set to RGB and not YMCK or your cable is bad. Also check to make sure the cable is plugged in securely to your console.

Okay, nevermind. I'm a bloody idiot - I had the wrong source on the TV... I was on YPbPr instead of VGA...

Would you please give more details about the issue?

Are you stuck in the green and purple screen or can you get past it?

Bah I give up... now when i have the xbox to vga cable plugged up and I turn the system on the button just stays green. It does not do the green light up circle. the tvs and monitors cant recognize it being on. I put the component cable on and it works
only on tv.

In short, you'll need to connect the Xbox 360 with an HDMI cable. If the Xbox 360 is an older model than the current Xbox 360 E, you can alternatively get a component cable (red, green, blue connectors) or a VGA cable, depending on what inputs your TV offers.

When connected by an HD capable connection, the output resolution can be selected in the display settings on the Xbox 360.
