black screen upon starting X-1

Hi MiddleDuke,

If your Xbox is stuck on the black screen, I suggest trying to power cycle. If that doesn't work hold the power button down for about 10 seconds, and restart.

If that doesn't work try this link here: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/system/tv-or-monitor-screen-is-blank-while-connected

Let us know if this helps!

So I had the same problem yesterday. Turned it off and waited and eventually everything came back on. No problem. Had plans last night went out came home went to bed. Woke up this morning tried turning on my xbox and bam, red ring. Anyone else have this
happen? Im not going to lie im a little ***. It was working just fine veggie and after whatever the hell happened. What did Microsoft actually do to fix this issue?

This is great, seems to be resolved. Thanks for your hard work getting this fixed, Xbox Support.

As for those out there who are still whining about the fact that this happened and saying they want compensation, three things for you to consider:

1) Technology fails sometimes. Deal with it. If you can't understand that simple fact, your life is going to be very, very difficult. Just be thankful this wasn't something serious like an extended power failure or a communications blackout. Consider what
it is you "lost", and compare it to something like that.

2) Check this out:

5. Services disruptions and backup

We strive to keep the Services up and running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages, and Microsoft isn't liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. You should regularly backup the content that you store
on the Services. Having a regular backup plan and following it can help you prevent loss of your content.

Read your agreements. They said right there that this can happen, and they'll do what they can when it does, but they aren't liable for compensation.

3) The value of what you lost works out to be approximately 65 cents. Your cost for the annual fee was 59.99. That means each day of Live is worth 59.99/365 days in a year, which is a little over 16 cents per day. The outage, if you include today (being
generous here, because it was resolved yesterday), was 4 days. 4 by 16 is 64, but the number is actually 16.4 cents per day, so let's round it to a nice 65. You want that cash or cheque?

It's remarkable to me how there's this over-inflated sense of entitlement about this kind of thing. Seriously, suck it up, be happy it's back online, and go play your games. Oh yes, and shut up about it. The folks at Microsoft knew there was a problem, they
followed their procedures, they found it, and they fixed it. They fulfilled their end of things. Now get on with your lives.
