360 elite causing weird signal on TV

[dougp]

Basically on two TVs via HDMI, the 360 turns the screen purple, orangish, and then sometimes looks like that porn you tried to get over cable when you were a kid. I tried the composite cables on my other TV and it did the same thing - but I'm going to try it on the big TV, but I don't expect it to work. I have a 3 year warranty through Target - should I just take it in tomorrow and exchange it?

If this problem just came out of no where, then yeah I say exchange it. Something's going on with the video-out, better exchange it while you can

Agreed, exchange it. When it comes to the 360, it's best to err on the side of caution.

OK, so the people that you buy the extended warranty through Target suck - basically I have to send off my XBox to them. Turns out I still have time left on the two year warranty I got from MS, so that's who I'm going to go through. They have a repair center here in TX, so I'd rather go with them.

I'm wondering if it could be the problem with the TV instead. Can you hook the 360 up to a different TV (via HDMI) instead?

Already said I tried it on two different TVs, over composite and HDMI for each TV - at this point, it's completely going out.

if you tried it on both composite and HDMI and neither worked, return it or exchange it. You probably got a bad egg.
