My Xbox RGB SCART cable recently has started producing a rolling image.
Also although the audio is stereo I've noticed that *sometimes* it only gives me mono.
What could be wrong with it exactly?
Bad soldering in the SCART plug itself? :blink:

open it up and resolder it, if it's still stuffed, the soldering was fine.
you should be able to completely remake the cable if both plugs can be opened. i suppose it could even be the fault of cheap cable which has broken after being bent alot.. is it an official cable or a cheap one? but being a gamesx member, im sure you wont have any trouble with a simple cable :P do some tests with a multimeter, make sure the resistances between the xbox end and the scart end are, or are near zero.

Well it was kind of medium price I think.
Anyway, I'll resolder it tomorrow.
Another strange thing I've noticed about it is there was a slight blurring to the right side of the screen, not a lot, but just enough to raise a small "wtf?" in your head.
