Hi, I have a moded xbox that has been working fine for 1.5 years. Yesterday when i switched it on, strange thing happened. I get sound, but video is in black and white plus come colour lines (green and red) running from the top to the bottom of the screen. I checked on diff tv -> same problem. Any advice would be appriciated
Thanks

Did you recently change it from pal to ntsc or do something with your HD settings? These are usually the problem with black and white video _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

What I was refering to with the pal/ntsc was if you had used the switcher. If you don't know what that is it is not the problem
Can you try different video cables? Could just be a loose connection?

yeah i already open the case and change therno paste on the chips
anyway,i jst checked in my unleash settings, in the Video EPROM i had:
Auto switch = on
Mode: Pal
Force Pal60: yes
the xbox is ok now. The colours are normal. However, from my experience i know the problems comes and goes as if its a hardware failure or somethin as you are saying to do with colour mode.
