Recently I was given a (old) Xbox 1.0 for free. I decided to extend it with an VGA port.

What do I have to do to get my VGA port to work?
I soldered the port directly to the motherboard after JaredC01's diagram/guide.

I only get a signal with my old CRT monitor (another CRT doesn't even work) and even then only when it boots.
Also the screen is too green (and too dark) - the Microsoft logo isn't white but green.
(Btw: I don't have a HD cable)

Greetings,
Anna

Edit: Already checked the cables - they're all in their right places and isolated from one another.

This is what I did so far:

1. Soldered the VGA port after JaredC01's diagaram/guide to the motherboard (LM1881 circuit and wires correctly isolated)
2. Softmodded the Xbox with XboxHdm 2.2 USB & ndure 3.1
3. Extracted the files from FrostyTheSnowman's and Xman954's VGA Boot Disc v1.0 and transferred them to my box through FTP
4. Wrote down the steps to get to the boot disc xbe
5. Connected the pins 9 + 10 and 13 +14 for VGA mode
6. Started the box and repeated the steps for getting into the vga boot thingy

Result:
No Success... What did I do wrong? Like I said: I even get a signal (even if it's green tinted) on bootup but after that nada.....
