I purchased a replacement power supply on Ebay, the PS was an after market model that can be switched from 120v to 220v. When I got it it looked really cheap but it did work. I used it quite a while but I had it connected to a HDTV and the picture was perfect. I sold the Xbox to a friend and soon he was complaining about the picture, I took it home and still it looked perfect until I connected to a composite video out and indeed the picture sucked. Well after checking everything I got a original PS and now it's perfect picture. I guess my point in posting this is so anyone else looking for a replacement PS would be better to look at an OEM unit rather than a knock off unit sold on Ebay.

The original spare parts, are better, top quality and most important specifically design for the System... they must be our first option...fklentz said:
No the OEM (factory) is not switchable. The PS I bought on Ebay is but is a piece of junk but it does work. The wires in the connector came loose and it creates a distorsion pattern in the composit video. The video looks like a TV picture when someone is operating a CB radio next to it. It is nice to be able to switch from 120V 60 cycle to 220 50 cycle but I don't plan on doing that, I bought it because it was cheaper that a used unit ($19.95 plus shipping).
I see this power supply all over Ebay, it's the one that has 2 power connectors for 1.0 1.1 and 1.2 - 1.5.

I bought a cheap one for a 1.0 around 9.95 (i think) anyways I had no problem with it picture wise, however it wasn't one of those switchable ones. it may just be that the one that you bought mess up the picture.
