  1. Don't like the black screen and having to soft reset the console 3 to 4 times a day!


    Due to the recent update in February i am having to restart my console 3 to 4 times a day by holding down the power button on the console for 10 seconds and powering it back up do to the black screen! as if that isn't bad enough i loose all my game progress
    every time cause i cant see the screen! I am just wondering if this is slowly damaging or will eventually cause any issues to my console! It is better than just pulling the plug every time but still!

    :)

  2. 3 hard resets since update...?

    Same here... First black screen ever.... I do soft resets 3-4 times a week, seems like now after Update it may be more. Quite pathetic.

  3. Since the latest update, my Xbox has gotten worse!

    The answer to the black screen is a "Soft Reset", also this should fix your off "Yes" "No" ability. To perform the "Soft Reset", press and hold consoles power button for 8-10 seconds. Wait 30 seconds, then press consoles power button again to boot back up.
    Boot up will take a bit longer and hang for a bit at the green screen, this is normal behavior after this process.

    The black screen issue unfortunately was a glitch that was seen since last update. A fix for this is being addressed and hopefully will be out soon. The "Soft Reset" is yours or anyone's else's first line of defense when having these issues.

    YellowLazerBeam, you won't be able to access the forums anyway unless you are in the Update Preview.

    Good news regarding the black screen though: the Xbox team knows about it and have fixed it for the March update that is coming out in the next couple of days. It occurs when you press the nexus button to go to the home screen.

    Also, what you described is actually a hard reset, and no, it will not cause damage to your systemjavascript:void(0);.

    I have not experienced this issue since the first BETA release - as of the second Beta release it has been working perfect also. You should see this issue go away when they release the final update
