The most common problem with the Xbox consoles is with video resolution. If you’re often playing with resolution using different video modes, cables, TV’s (when you’re bringing the console at the friend’s house), you may encounter a problem with video, i.e. video won’t show up.
It’s because Xbox 360 does not revert back to VGA resolution as backup.
Here are the two possible solutions for this problem.
Reseting VGA Resolution on the XBox 360 – Solution 1
- HOLD D-Pad RIGHT until blade selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds (You are now at System Blade)
- HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds
- PRESS A (You are now in Console Settings)
- HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds
- PRESS A (You are now in Display)
- HOLD D-Pad DOWN until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds
- PRESS A (You are now in Screen Format - If you get a "bonk" sound, skip next 2 steps)
- HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds
- PRESS A (You have just selected NORMAL Screen Format and have returned to Display)
- HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds
- PRESS A (You are now in Screen Resolution)
- HOLD D-Pad UP until menu selection sounds stop, or 3 seconds
- PRESS A (You have just selected 640 x 480)
After doing this, you should be able to see the video.
Or if not, you can optionally try this.
Reseting VGA Resolution on the XBox 360 – Solution 2
- Boot up your console and wait until it is fully loaded (wait at least 10 seconds).

- You should press the A-Button once again.
- In this menu, press the left stick up at least four times and click the A-Button.
