Xbox360 - Sound, but only purple and green diagonal lines...

Jul 14, 2010 3:50AM PDT

Hi,

My XBox 360 has been working flawlessly for about 3 years. The other day I put a Netflix movie and shut the xbox down from the dvd menu screen. I turned it on later and put a game in and I only received sound with diagonal green and purple lines in a full screen format (it is setup to run on an HDTV). No red rings either.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

The fixes I recommend are the xbox service from MSFT or finding a refurb on newegg.com or geeks.com

Xbox 360 console might have over heated. It happens to a lot. Microsoft provide free repair, so you might have to call them the number should be with the manuals.
