    Changed resolution, now stuck on black screen


    I changed the xbox one's resolution to 1080p and forgot my TV only supports 1080I. So now when I start up my console it's just a black screen. I've tried leaving it unplugged for hours, doing a hard reset, unplugging and holding down power button while plugging
    power back in but nothing's worked. On PS3 there was at least a way to reboot to default settings, and on 360 it would ask if you could see the picture, but on this "next generation" console there's no such thing...

    :)

    Mistake

    I was just searching something in display settings and I by mistake changed my resolution to 1440p but my TV is only 1080p max. So now anytime I want to play it shows me 'invalid Format' and I can't do anything. I tried to change
    it by ear (sounds 'n' stuff) but I couldn't find display settings. Now i’m stuck with a black screen. Help please

    Changed resolution, now stuck on black screen

    After msging a friend through smart glass he told me I had to hold down power&eject button to fix it, it took me 30 mins of trying this for it to work. I kept having to turn off console, then press&hold eject at EXACTLY the same time for 15-30 seconds with
    no additional beep (other than the one that it makes when you hit power) after the 100th try it worked after doing the EXACT same thing repeatedly. Some sort of consistency with the reset settings method would've been nice. But I guess that's just the millionth
    thing wrong with being X-Boned.

  5. Sorry you encounter this. People have had this resolved by hard reset/power cycle, but as you tried that i dont know why it didnt work.

    Button resets on any device can be a tricky timing problem, so i feel your frustration there.

    Good it worked out in the end.

    Xbox One FIX!, black screen after update 2021!

    I have just experienced the same issue. My Xbox crashed in the middle of an update and now after the green boot up screen I get the black screen of death. I've tried soft and hard reboots and after holding down the sync and eject button I am now stuck in low resolution black screen of death.

    Not sure what I'm supposed to do and now my sons and I are without a gaming machine.
