Since about a month ago I've been having a small problem with the output of my Xbox 360 60gb Premium on my telly. It's connected by component and I've checked that they are seated fine.

The actual problem is that 1/10 times of switching it on it'll show a strange haze/contrast/fuzz like in the pics below. It has also happened a couple of times in a row but that's been rare.

Is this anything to worry about?
Has anyone came across this before? If so, what have you done to sort it?

Thanks!
 
I had simular problems with my xbox before it produced the e74 error. I think it might be a sign that the solder is starting to go on the GPU. How long you had the box for?

But anyways might as well go with what Malc30 said because atleast you wont have to send off your box for weeks if its just the cable and you will also have use of this cable after!
 
Cheers guys. I hope it's not on it's way out, been doing a lot of gaming recently too. Think I'll try the HDMi cable though.

I've had it near enough a year and it's only been doing this recently. Looked on the back and it says manufactured: July 08.

Can I just use any HDMi cable with it or is it worth getting the official product?
 
Buying a new cable is a waste of money, just carry on as usual you'll see it'll probably get progressively worse until it packs in, 360's were not built to last.

My old one started like this, then I started getting "resolution not supported" messages on the TV until eventually I got no picture at all.

:( Bugger. Last thing I wanted just now. Hopefully complete failure will hold off until the new year.

Cheers for the advice guys.

Also, is it a 3 year warranty Microsoft offer? And would this cover a GPU/RAM fault?

Yes the warranty is 3 years but it won't cover a gpu/ram failure. What you want is a rrod or E47, however you often find when the GPU fails in a 360 it kicks up a E47 error (which means general hardware failure) anyway.
