I'm working on an xbox 360 laptop and was soldering some ribbon cable to the AV pinouts on an Xbox 360, as well as to the vga pinouts on the controller board for the monitor. Anyways the monitor works fine since I was using just a cable. Wondering if anyone knows what the issue would be? I followed all the pinouts correctly but it gives me this?

i also ended up stripping the cable one at a time away from the ribbon cable so it would be individual wire, made sure there were no bridging with the cables, but now it doesn't give a signal.

the set up i have for it is the R, G, B, H-sync, V-sync, Use VGA, and ground.

do i need to bridge the ground pinouts on the A/V together? so like bridge pinout 2 with 4 and 1 with 3? or do i just need on master ground?

No need to short all of the grounds together. If you aren't getting any signal on the monitor make sure that pin 20 is shorted to GND. You're probably getting the weird image on the screen because of a bad/missing connection.

some pictures of your soldering would help. what kind of wire did you use. is it shielded? i've done this a few times and never had an issue.
