After promising my 7 year old boy Id put the 360 in his bedroom for months I just bought the scart splitter and hooked it up... he has a scart dvd which works, a scart video which works but the xbox does nothing, is as if its not even connected, I connected it direct and still nothing.. this is an old 14" crt..

help..

Ok was the 360 connected upto an HD-TV previously?

Ok quick run down
 
If you had it connected upto an Hd-tv and now your using a scart lead on a normal Tv then make sure the cable that connects to the 360's back connection port is switched to Tv from HDTV this is a black switch on the cable (White sticker over the part where the switch is)
 
If thats ok make sure the cables are in the correct order when connected to the scart lead make sure your not using the 5 leads that are bundled together so you want  (yellow/yellow red/red white/white.)
 
Now you should have a pic once its switched on and connected to the tv and the correct channel is selected.
 
If not let me know

It was connected to a non HD lcd telly, now its connected to a heap of sh1t 10 year old at least telly. Probably the first of its kind to have a scart connection..

Lol see what Ive posted above and see if that helps.
Just make sure that switch is not gone onto Hdtv either as that will prevent you getting a picture and make sure all leads are connected properly
 

The "scart" lead is the scart adaptor for the red whit yellow cables (the lead that comes with the 360). Ive had the 360 since they came out if that helps...

And you still cannot get a picture?
 
Im assuming you have changed the imput channel on the tv to scart?

without changing a thing the dvd and video work via scart....

Thats weird then
Got me stumped are the scart pins all ok?
 
I cannot understand why it would not work when you say it was connected to a non hd telly how was it connected to the non hd telly?

The exact same way.. Im beginning to think Ive fuked it by carrying it up the stairs.. I'll need to bring it back down again and I cant be ar5ed... but I will.

You will probably find its something so bloody tiny thats not letting it work and yet you have spent hours messing about with it
Always seems to be that way at times
Might be telling you that it wants a New tv
I highly doubt you have knackered the 360 from moving it upstairs as I lug mine about all over the place at times.
 
Have you thought of getting your lad a new Tv?

I just thought
 
Does your Video have a spare scart lead on the back?
 
if so connect the video up to the tv and make sure it works lol
Then connect the 360 lead upto the spare scart port on the video
 
Now all it should be is a case of turning on the 360 and making sure the tv has the video channel on and then just finding the Output channel on the video
In my case I have channels 1-6 and then I have L1/L2/L3 
 
L1 Being the lead to tv
L2 being the 360 scart
L3 being the front connection port
 
Does this make any sense?

Makes sense and sounded so great I ran upstairs to do it...

...fuking video only has 1 scart connection..

Just read threw that and im stumped, they only thing you can check is try it on the other screen to make sure the 360 is still working ok.

Yup I think Ive killed it.. not checked yet though..

Sorry not been able to get online today for some reason.
 
So have you still not got any picture?
Does the 360 work on the other screen?

Finally tried this with the good telly, works fine... need a better telly for the xbox methinks....

huh, makes a change from people needing a new 360 when they breathe to hard on it.

FPMSL... well its my boys birthday and hes got his 19" screen.. and the ba5tard xbox did the exact same sh1t with it!!! Just as well it had AV inputs lol..

fook knows what caused it and Im an alledged IT guru...

So what connections does the moniter have at the back ?
