Video blury on xbox

[budbandito720]

So i have a 128mb board that the output os blury.. i tried with different hd cords and still same outcome..

Tried on a stock xbox and works good..

Not sure if its the video chip or what exactly anyone have this problem?

You likely need to boot the Default MS Dashboard and go into the video settings and enable 480p and 720p and then restart the system into your custom dash.

So i did the ms dashboard enable, but still coming out blury.. ill buy new hd cords, and try..

Also, to be clear you do not have to go into the MS dash to set this. You can do the same thing in XBMC. If it's on one of your X3 machines you can also set the bios to output HD in X3 Config Live.

So no luck with 720p.. tried in ms dashboard.. x3 config, and xbmc,

Im gonna buy some new cords to cross that off the list..

Any other suggestions?

Did you or I take out the metal shielding in the xbox? I honestly cant remember but I guess there is a chance it's RF noise. Wrap the xbox in foil and see what happens

Ill try the foil.. gonna buy new cords today as well

I recently purchased a crystal xbox with no metal shielding at all. It caused wavy lines on the TV, (PAL with normal phono leads, not HD).
After I had taken it apart, added new bottom shielding and re-assembled, I tried it on the TV again. Perfect picture, no wavy lines It doesn't seem to matter about the top cover shielding?

Thanks for the info ill cut a metal shielding right away to try..

[budbandito720]

So i got it working with just the bottom of the shield.. bought a official xbox hd cord to go with it

Thanks for the help

I am pretty sure that it is recommended to keep shielding under the board, at most removing the top and cutting the sides away

yea ive never came across this problem and i always leave the bottom metal casing in. Just cut away as much as u want from the sides etc and remove the top, will help improve the temp and for seeing lighting if your adding any
