    Xbox one affected by lightning

    recently my house was hit by lightning and it ruined a lot of electronics in my house. So my Xbox seems to work fine except for the hdmi. When I plug my Xbox into the wall, I’m able to press the power button and the Xbox actually comes on. The white light
    glows and the Xbox sounds like it’s running. But my tv the im testing it on says no signal. So I’m thinking the hdmi port is blown. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. The TV my Xbox was connected during the storm was completely fired and is dead btw.
    I tested my Xbox on a diff, untouched tv.

    Not that I've heard. Also never seen it mentioned until now so I'd doubt it.

    Viruses on Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 genuine consoles is unheard of. PC's are more prone to viruses. Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 consoles have strong a operating system called Dashboard and are the official internet/online service it connects to is Xbox Live.

  6. Cool and Thanks a lot! It's much easier to surf on the xbox 1 than the 360. But, I've heard of these types of viruses causing problems with Windows phones. Just wondering how similar the operating systems were. Thanks Again.

    Cannot connect to minecraft servers on chromebook.

    Yes, we have paid for the ransomware that you call Xbox Live Gold.

    He plays as himself on the chromebook but plays as me on the Xbox. The ransomware is associated with me but shouldn't it extend to the whole family? If you tell me that I have to pay for ransomware for each of my kids I will not be happy...
