Can a 360 Mess up a TV? What Causes this Display Corruption?

[Mad_Hatter]

I bought a used 360 Black Elite case.

I washed the case out with soap and water. I put napkins in each screw hole to get all the excess water out. Then, I let it air dry for about 20 hours.

The next day, I used This to give the case a shiner look since some of the original finish came off in the watch.

Then I replaced the white case I had with the black one. I didn't do anything wrong during the installation. The only thing that I think might have gone wrong was I forgot to dry out one of the screw holes from water, or maybe those wipes I used should not have been used (maybe they conductive and got on the motherboard?).

Anyway, the issue was while my brother was playing Xbox 360 on the TV. While he was playing, the screen got green vertical bars that were thin. I thought it may have been the Xbox, but I pressed the TV menu, and it turned out to be the TV. I can tell because the TV menu had the thin horizontal bars too. And I switched to the TV Channel input and it had them too. Could the Xbox messed corrupted My TV's picture through the HDMI port?

Turning the TV off and on seemed to clear those bars and the TV's picture is like it should be. I have not tried the Xbox though.

My brother said this happened a couple of years ago, on the same TV, except with red bars. Same resolution (turn the TV off and on).

My question is can an Xbox cause such a problem?

The only reason I think it might is because the coincidence of it happening after I altered my Xbox.

I thought this would be the best forum section to post this in. If not let me know.

I doubt it.
I guess there could be some sort of voltage spike across the HDMI line ... but that's not what it sounds like.

Something in the TV is probably failing (Especially if it was experienced before). As to what I have no idea, most components in the TV could cause all sorts of visual artifacts on screen including colored lines vertically streaked.

Did the glitch happen when the resolution was changing, say going from the game to a menu or a cut scene? The TV might have gotten momentarily confused while changing modes.

Cronozilla, It happened a couple of years ago. And then yesterday according to my bro. If it keeps failing at those intervals I'll have this TV till the day I die, lol.

I don't know. My brother was playing. He just called me after it happened. I'll ask him when I see him.



Though I don't think it happened during a cut scene.



He was playing all night yesterday and nothing happened.




So I think it is like you said, the TV being "momentarily confused". Because the the lines were perfectly symmetrical as if it glitched while trying to process the picture. Everything else was fine except those lines/bars.
