Ok, my best mate just got a second hand x-box. we've seen it playing at a mates house and it works fine, but when he connects it to his TV everything runs perfectly... apart from the fact that everything- and I mean EVERYTHING- is green!

I've fiddled with the TV settings.

I've checked the equiptment.

His TV is fine- nothing else goes green.

So...I guess I'm stumped... Any ideas?

The only other thing I can think of is that the connection lead he got to go between the TV and the x-box isn't the standard AV one, its another one. would an AV lead solve the problem?

try using a different A/V cable.

Nope.... turns out I'm just an idiot.

My mate's TV set up is different to mine, and I plugged the damn thing into his VCR- which is broken and makes everything look green when he records stuff.

Should have figured it out earlier.... Sorry.

But thanks for the help, Dude!

thats pretty funny. a problem like that woulnt have been a prob with the xbox, an you sai u checked all the connections so the only likely problem would have been a faulty A/V cable.
