Why is the picture so dark?

Every time I turn on my Xbox 360, the image is very dark and a little blurry, even after a hard reset but seems to work fine otherwise

@cwr81 you have tried a different TV just to make sure that it is not the cause.

Yes I have tried a different tv, same effect, very dark, also I have tried another Xbox 360 I have to make sure it isn’t any of the cables but the cables are fine.

I did also try a reflow of the CPU and GPU and the RAM and it still has this issue, I did notice a bad capacitor next to the cpu, could this be the issue?

Did you open the Xbox and look for leaking or bulged capacitors? Here is an image for reference.

Yes and I did notice one next to the CPU, it was one of the bigger 4, could this be causing it by any chance?

Yes, bad capacitors could cause a dark picture. Could you give me the brand and series(e.g. Nichicon HM), in addition to the uf rating and voltage?
