No output - region/video mode mismatch? + Slim with a blurry picture output

I've got 2 xboxes, one X3 with the inbuilt menu and one slim no-dvd xbox. I'm getting deja vu that I've had this problem before and managed to solve it.

In the X3:

- It powers on, I was able to get into the X3 menu by holding the white controller button, no issues.

- But I wasn't able to get into my dashboard (i know it works, I used it a few months back - and I can see the game titles / menu titles on the LCD screen)

- I remembered the issue was something to do with the region/video mode not matching, so I think I switched the region to PAL 480i initially directly via the X3 menu and managed to get into the dashboard. All my games etc everything is working fine, but only in 480i now.

- So I go to enigmah X and switch back to NTSC thinking this would allow me to go back to 720p, no dice, now the X3 menu won't show up (again, I can see it loading correctly via the LCD screen, there's just no video out)

- I tried switching to a SCART cable to try "force" PAL mode again, and I can see via OSSC's readout that i'm getting 480i but again there's no video out.

What can I do here? I vaguely recall that using a composite cable somehow hardware-forced it back to default 480i and fixed this issue.

 

The slim:

- Powers on, loads up, works fine, OSSC says 720p out, can't see anything obviously wrong with it

- The picture is blurry. Literally just very blurry. I've tried switching back and forth between 480/720p and it's still extremely blurry, I really can't explain why. Last time I used it the picture was crystal clear.

 

Please help you guys! ❤️
