gytdoo Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Hello everyone! This is my first post, so apologies if it’s formatted incorrectly. I’m currently having a tough time trying to diagnose what could be causing my Xbox to output a wobbly video signal as seen here. I’ve tried -swapping power supplies -replacing the 5 caps near the cpu -giving the board and console a deep clean I’m thinking maybe it’s a grounding issue? Or perhaps the video encoding chip is about to die? Honestly I’m at a loss. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmon Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Maybe check the solder joints on the av port on the xbox? At least you were able to figure out that its that xbox and not the cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Are both set to the same (NTSC/PAL) and the same resolution enabled 480, 720p?

gytdoo Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hey guys! Thank you both for the suggestions. I ended up trying to reflow the av connector, no dice. Triple checked resolutions too. At this point I just began replacing caps and testing after each. This fixed the issue, although none of them look buldged and I don’t see any leakage. These are the caps I swapped. Thanks again for the help guys. I’ve only gotten into the original Xbox and soldering this past month, and I’ve been having a blast. This community is amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
