Valhalqoholic Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 My v1.1 xbox has distortion in its video. It looks like 10 vertical rows of pixels all horizontally shift to the left by about 5 pixels. It's difficult to catch on camera but I've attached 2 photos. In one photo, you can see the pixel shift right in the middle of the letter D on the left hand side of the screen. In the other photo, you can see the same distortion right in between E and F on the left hand side of the screen. It doesn't look as dramatic in these photos as it really is. These vertical distortions appear all over the screen with about 5 or 6 happening at any given time. I replaced the five 1500uF capacitors in my xbox, and that did not help it. This distortion happens when I use the official HD component video adapter. It also happens when I use the Chimeric systems HDMI adapter. It seems like the distortion is not caused by external cables. I tried cleaning the video connector contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Does anyone know how I can fix this or further troubleshoot the issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you find anything out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie-Burger Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Have you guys tried to set 480p and 720p and turn off 1080i in unleashx? After a few reboots and these settings many of my xboxes have crisp video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prtscn Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 could be bad output capacitors, tiny little SMD caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckerbee Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I actually turned off 480 and had no issues with video last night - but I was playing a 2d game (roller coaster tycoon). I’m going to check with 480 selected off on another game tonight and will report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
