PLEASE READ! I just moved to canada from europe and I took my xbox 360 with me, however, anywhere I plug it in a tv the screen is always black and white??! I tried it on two tv's, they were both rather old tv's but back home I had an old tv aswell, so I dont think the problem lies there. Is it because my 360 is european? Please help, Im going crazy over it lol.
Number 4 is not a joke infact the towel trick has helped me through the e74 and e75 aswell as two red rings and my xbox is still alive but people say it can damage the hard drive if u do it ...... Duh take everything out even hard drive :)
Do you think replacing thermal paste would help too? because my friend is having this problem and he did the trick, but it didn't work, I am considering just replacing the paste.
towel trick bakes your xbox NEVER DO THIS! jimmycallaghanbanger has it right get an xclamp fix clean GPU and CPU as well as the heatsinks replace thermal compound and screw down the heatsinks
@geckorus10 it wasnt gameplay. i just shown it to see if people looked like the same as that this is the way to fix it. people might not see something like that and not have this kind of problem
@werksiu4 SAME THING! it was working, then the graphics got all fucked up so i turned it off and when i turned it back on, the screen was black and i could only hear sound. I bought a new a/v cable, but that didn't do anything. Its just graphics card.
i have this problem for my xbox 360 it wont show the stuff on the tv and everythings plugged in if any1 knows how to fix email me my email is cameronybliss@yahoo.com i also costumized with sharpie
i was playing gta on the xbox for about 2 hours then i got 2 red lights, i left it for an hour and a half then went on again 30 mins later it got 2 red lights again so i left it overnight turned it on and there is no display or sound the tv screen is just blank.
i hav a video and color and everythin but sound but u c when i dont plug my hdmi cables in i dnt hav video but i have sound but when i plug all of them in i hav video but no sound is there a way 2 fix this (the hdmi chords r the 3 extra av hdmi cables not the single chord
It works, but im the kinda person who always breaks pills in half, so i did 1 towel for 10 mins and it shut off, let it cool for another 10 and now its back to normal
you mother fucking stupid donkey humping cow cock we tried your faggit trick and it licks major tigger dick the next time you put out some fag video again i swear i will make you lick my gigantic elephant BALLS!!!!!
this only works for a bit, after a while, after multiple uses, the fixed effect will only last for like 5 to 10 minutes, then it'll revert back to it's crappy self.
@smokinfrenzy I have a question. I recently bought a new 360 and the sound will cut off during gameplay. And this is with any game. Should I return it or is this something that can be fixed? I'm using the Madkatz HDMI cable by the way for my 360 if that helps at all.
@MADBALL9991 i recommend taking it back to be fixed dont try anything your self especially if it has warrenty . if no warrenty and dont want to pay i recommend searching youtube for better vids coz this vid only shows how to fix black screen nothing to do with sound sorry .. so yh if warrenty definatly send it back
@smokinfrenzy Yeah I know this has nothing to do with it but it's impossible to find a vid with the problem I'm having. Anyways, thanks for the reply man!
@xxbladerunner71xx yh i no tht this is a temp fix say for people who cant afford to get it fixed and want a few more days playing the xbox do this and ull get atleast 3 days max playing it thn it will break for good like mine but thankkfully i have new 1 and took out an extended warrenty for 5 years so yh its a temp fix :)
@smokinfrenzy yo thanks bro!!!!! i need a new gaming song for sniping!!!! and gears!!!! anyone want a challenge???? g tag (definitiveness2) hit me up!!!
I've done this method, but after a week, it's useless. With Modern Warfare 2 out, this is tragedy. And being my luck, it's christmas so I can't buy a spare console with a warranty for the normal price, seeing as budle offers are all over the place. I'm upset. :(
Dont Listen To This Video To Fix It You Have To Do The Red Ring Of Death Fix By Taking Your Xbox 360 Apart I Know Cos I Have Done It And You Also Will Permenatly Fix It From This And The Ring Of Death :D
My xbox went down from Mw2, kind of suck to release games that the machine cant handle... and fuck microsoft for making bad machines.. I love xbox but the parts and the mix of compenents is just plain shit..
a guess what my xbox gets the e 47 error now hahaha but the towl trick stills work and fixes it ive done the towl thing 9 times!!!!!!!!!! and counting lmao
tht means ur xbox was really ready to be getting rrod coz wen u heat it up it resets it somehow wen i did this i never relly played xbox that much so wen i did the towel trick it was ok no rrod but after i did it like 7 times it got rrod urs must of been rlly knackerd i advise u to take it to microsoft cause theres a 5yr warrenty for rrod do not take xbox apart or open it up phone up microsoft and theyll sort it out
FML i already did on accident kinda its hard to explain but ur video work, after i got the rrod i let it sit and the video came back thankyou for putting up this video. I getting a new one tho it went back out but i did the towl thing today and it came back 3 time is last time
even if they say xbox out of warrenty tell em i thought theres a 3 or 5 yr warrenty on rrod they should do it i was able to do it but i took my xbox apart n they wnt fix it now :(
ok people please stop doing the towel trick; it makes it worse; because you are damaging the internal mother board and components;
its really an easy fix; look in the yellow pages for a xbox repair man in your area. he will fix the issue and possibly add an additional fan for a cheap nominal fee; or send it to xbox if it is still insured. but please dont do the towel trick anymore.
yes i no most ppl cnt afford to get there xbox repaired so they turn to youtube to get a tempory fix so they can play a little longer b4 it breaks down for good !
i have a similar problem. the screen dosent go black but goes a kind of purpliish colour it isnt too dark i still get a picture and sound. but what do i do to get my screen to normal. i dont use the hdtv setting i onley use tv so what could the problem be. can you help plz
im not to sure i never had the problem did u wen u were like in games or dashboard and its gets blurey if not im not sure mayb thts sign ur video card is starting to break or graphics card u might need to take it to repairs or try towel trick as tempory trick
i was using and it made the xbox tip over and the screen went black and the sound stopped and i turned my xbox on and off and nothing happened and yes i double checked the chords were all plugged in all the way and such. and so yeah i waited like 2 hours and tried to turn it on again... still black and no sound.... i went on youtube
THANKS MAN!!! HOLY SHIT, i was scared to fuckin death, i cant live without xbox lols. and yeah i had it standing straight up... then i was charging my controller and my sister tripped over the chord of the chorging cord cuz i was like nooo... and i saw this... tried it and it worked! but i only had to take the game out and take the harddrive out and turn it off and on
i dont no how i was playing cod waw and it started doing it it looks a lot worse in person and then when i turn my xox off to restart it hopeing it will go my xbox wouldnt turn back on ut i could hear sound then i found tht solution and im ack on (it sometimes doesnt solve it everytym u wnna go ack on u ha to keep doing it ut worth it
thanks!!!!
