Has anyone ever experienced their Xbox one s frying their TV?

Martin Ortiz2 · Mar 27, 2023

I turn on my TV and my Xbox as normal. Go to YouTube start up a video then all of a sudden my TV went black. I figured it somehow turned off. No big deal. I hit the power button on my remote. Nothing. Hit the power button on the TV. Nothing. Xbox still on no audio coming from the TV though. Shut off my Xbox and look online for a solution. Just getting told to unplug my TV for various amounts of time. Nothing works. Eventually I say f it must just be a old TV finally ready to kick the bucket, so i ask to borrow a TV. Set it all up, plug my Xbox in. Turn on the TV (works perfectly fine) turn my Xbox on. Everything is going well. Go to YouTube play a video. Not 5 minutes into the video TV goes black again. Then the tv won't turn on. Has anyone experienced this issue? Pretty sure both TVs are fried and not working anymore.

The amount of powrr hdmi puts out its not possible to fry a tv with

From your power bar yes

You won't even get a shock touching the hdmi gold port even with your console.on

Similar situation - but instead of going completely black, the image is gone and there are black and grey lines both horizontal and vertical. Sound is working but no image.

Same issue here. XBox S + Samsung Smart TV. Working fine for a few weeks and when turning the XBox today the TV got braindead and now won't pass from the Samsung splash screen before turning itself off and on again, in an endless cycle (even after unplugging the XBox and any other device from it)

I'd really like to get some answers from Microsoft regarding this, I'm afraid now to plug the console on any other TV, and it looks to me that there are more than a few coincidences in behavior

Thanks a lot.

You would have to center console in for repair as it would have to be examined to see if there is a short going to the HDMI port, however this would be very unusual especially given the amount of power available to the HDMI port.

Without the ability to physically examine the console no one can give you answers
