The graffics on my xbox are green, help.

Question

i have had my xbox for quite a while now and when i played it one day all of the graffics turned green! meaning the people, the background, and the colored letters are all this olive green color. I could be from how old it is or maybe my brother and sister did something to it but i really have no idea. Please help me, thank you.

Answer 1

Its most likely the GPU (Graphics processor) that is going bad.  Typically the RLOD (Red lights of death) are to follow.  Microsoft has extended the warranty on the RLOD XBOX360 failures to 3 years.  If your Xbox ends up getting this particular failure and your console is under 3 years old, they will repair it free of charge.

Since you didn't indicate which console version you have, (original xbox or 360) if you have the original console your probably out of luck.  However, this may be a problem with the TV and you can test it out by plugging the xbox into another television to see.
