Damaged HDmi xbox series x

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good evening

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting your Xbox Series X to work with the HDMI cable it came with.

Make sure the HDMI cable is securely plugged into the correct HDMI port on your TV and your Xbox Series X.

Try a different HDMI port on your TV to see if that fixes the problem.

Check for any visible damage to the HDMI cable, such as frayed wires or bent connectors. If you find any damage, try using a different HDMI cable.

Power cycle your TV and your Xbox Series X. To do this, turn off both devices, unplug them from the wall, and wait a few minutes before plugging them back in and turning them on again.

Check for any updates for your TV or Xbox Series X and install them if necessary.

If it is not a hardware failure, it’s not covered under warranty. If you damaged the port they’re not responsible. The retailer has nothing to do with anything unless you purchased a separate warranty through them

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hello Margaret, I'm sorry for what's happening, however this forum is public view and as independent consultants we don't have the tools to open your console's warranty.

Hi, Jerambo! thank you for reaching out.

I understand you have some questions regarding your console's warranty service order.

> but want to know how long it could take once I ship it off to get fixed?


A: After your console has been received at Microsoft's service center, the average time of service is 14 to 21 days, including shipping time.

> Also will I get the Xbox I purchased shipped back after repair or will I get a refurbished Xbox?


A: Microsoft will attempt to repair your console, but if this is not possible, your console may be replaced with a new or refurbished unit.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best regards.

And what if I buy a cable will it work

The Xbox Series X will come with a HDMI 2.1 cable,

But whether you use a HDMI 2.1 cable or not, the HDMI port on the TV needs to be HDMI 2.1 to achieve the 120hz refresh rates at 4K.

using a HDMI 2.1 cable on a TV port with HDMI 2.0 will still only limit the Xbox Series X to 60hz refresh rates.
