    Hi guys, having a problem with an x-box. When I connect it to t.v., I can get sound but no picture. Tried another x-box cable but same result. Anyone had this happen before ? Warranty is up so can't return it.

    Are you using the scart? Or just the component cables? It could be a problem with the picture(yellow) input on the TV itself if you're using the component cables to connect it.

    I had this problem once - it turned out that I had messed around with the video settings in the dashboard. I had switched the video setting to PAL, when my TV wasn't PAL enabled - try messing with that.

    Or it could be that your xbox is just fried:)

    Gamer, sapper....thanks for replies. I hooked up a mates x-box and it worked fine, so that ruled out a tv problem. Got onto MS support today and they seemed to realise what the problem was. They gave me a ref number and Dublin address to send console back, and said they will replace console and refund postage. Must be a common enough problem.

    edit.. Might actually call them tomorrow to see if the inconvenience caused is worth an upgrade to a 360 :rolleyes:
