Have you tried the cable swap yet? I am anxious to see if that is the problem. I am also doing alot of research about the black dots thing to see if anyone else ever had a problem with it and what the cause was. I will keep you informed. Like I said before we will get that bad boy fixed. Actually if the cable is the problem and you want to keep your other xbox going I can ship you out a cable I am not using. Let me know. Smile

Well, looks like swapping out the IDE cable with the working xbox did not make a difference in the video. Still have the lines and dots on both the Riddick and Halo 1 (demo Halo2 screen) Confused It just boggles the mind. No clue why the DVD movie playback would look perfect and the games like Riddick and Fable would have a problem

The only other solution i could think of is for you to mod your xbox and try to play the game off the hdd. With a softmod you wouldn't have to open your xbox or anything.

Hard to believe I have an xbox that is stumping. Very Happy One question.. do some games cache off the hard drive? The reason why I am asking... that if I could reset/format the hard drive back. When this thing is fixed... should be well documented Shocked

That my friend is way out of my expertise. Sad Wes213 on the other hand is a mod genius and would probably be able to walk you through it in like 5 seconds or maybe four depending on how many cigs he has smoked and whether his beard is cooperating! Wink Oh by the way Wes something I have always wanted to ask you but didnt. How the heck do you keep from lighting your face on fire while smoking? Talent? Shocked Pure luck? Shocked Or have you perfected some cool artform of beard manipulation? Shocked

I tried a few codes I found on llamma.com. No luck. I was thinking maybe something the HD is corrupted and causing the problem with the game video. Idea

Yes some games cache off the hdd and the DVDs do too, the black dots is such an odd prob and can be from lots of things.
I wold say format the hdd (if its a soft mod make sure the install has everything it needs) and reinstall just the dash, install or run one of the games that has the spots in it and if thay are still there its comeing from the mobo and you know its best to replace the xbox.

Reb i been smokeing so long that the face hair is no prob, Sure i burn it from time to time.
My girl gets mad as hell when im playing a game and let the ash fall in my beard and dont even try to get it out. LOL
The real trick is eating without getting it all in my beard, that gets old. Rolling Eyes

Ahh okay I was wondering cause whenever I even let my beard grow out a little bit I used to burn it lighting a cigarette and I was always having to wipe my mouth when I ate because food would get in my beard.I have never had a beard as long as yours though. So I can imagine the troubles. Very Happy

Hey Wes,
I would have no idea where to start on formating the HD. The xbox is not modded. Since I am very new to all this, I have no idea where to even start. I'm getting really good at opening the Xbox and putting it back together. Wink

Since its not modded i wold say the prob is the moather board, the hdd is stock so it wold be fine, the disk drive swap did not help so its fine.
Its got something to do with your chip set or mobo.

Best bet to get the black dots out is to replace the xbox.
If the dots onley show from time to time mod the xbox with sid 5 and use it as a midea center. Wink
