HDMI not working on Xbox 360...

Milan1362 · Jul 2, 2016

My Xbox is not connecting to T.V. through HDMI. (TV shows "no input".) It powers on regular, and controller and Xbox show "player 1 connected" (first light is lit green on both.)

The AV cable works fine, but is really bugging me as it is not HD.

I think it's because the handshake between TV and Xbox isn't happening, but I don't know for sure.

Please help

:)

Xbox 360 HDMI not working?!!!

It could be you that your TV has a bad HDMI port. I had to return 2 samsung 32 LED tvs before i finally gave up and went with Visio.

Check the connection for the A/V or HDMI cable on your Xbox console.

Check the connection for the A/V or HDMI cable on your television.

Try plugging your HDMI cable into a different HDMI port on your television.

Reset your display settings. To do this:

Remove any discs from the disc tray.

Turn off the console.

Turn on the console.

Note If you are using an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, turn on the console by using the Guide button on the controller. Make sure that you use the player 1 controller when you do this. The player 1 controller will have the upper-left light illuminated.

As the console starts, on the controller, press and hold Y while pulling the right trigger. The display settings are reset to the default settings, and then the console automatically restarts.

Keep us posted on your progress!

It's probably the HDMI cable/port on your console/TV. Try a high quality cable.

If you are using HDMI on xbox 360 it will work. If the same for xbox one, it will work.

Yes, the standard Xbox 360 AV cable and any HDMI cables will work with the Xbox 360 S.

I'm sure I am repeating possible solutions that you have already tried. I list some suggestions from other users:

------------------------------------

1. Connect your 360 to your TV with the included composite (Yellow, Red, White) cable .

2. Ensure you're running the new Xbox dashboard (Avatars support).

3. Ensure no profile auto-sign's in at boot up.

4. Power off 360 and TV. Connect the HDMI cable between them.

5. Hold down the controller's xBox button for 3 seconds to power on, and wait for about 20 seconds.

6. Press right on the (dpad) left analog stick 9 times, to navigate to the System Settings menu.

7. Press the A button 4 times. (This will go to System Settings, Console Settings, Display, HDTV settings.)

8. Press up twice on the (dpad) left analog stick. Press A.

9. If no picture appears, wait 15 seconds, Press up again and press A. What you are doing is selecting lower display resolutions. Once you have a picture, you can try other higher resolutions, if you want, and it will revert back if you don't confirm it
is ok. The 360 will remember the setting you finalize.

Troubleshooting: Power off both 360 and TV. Switch back to the composite cable. Try steps 1-7 again to verify it is navigating correctly. If your profile is auto-logging in, the 360 will start on the “Welcome” tab, rather than the “Play Disc” tab, in which
case, you would have to press up once, before the 9 rights, to get to the System Menu. (The end.)

---------------------------------

if connected via receiver - unplug HDMI cable from receiver and plug it directly into TV.

If that works, you can try to run cable > receiver > TCV again.

If not connected via receiver, try that.

---------------------------------

On XBox disable Display Discovery in the System Settings

------------------------------------

Remove harddrive. Replace hardrive.

I've switched homes, apartments, and had consoles in a few places, and forgotten to setup things properly at times, so i feel your pain! Let's get this sorted out!

Are you sure the new TV has HDMI Inputs? Have you selected the input to be set to the proper HDMI Port you are using (ie. if your TV has slots for HDMI 1, and HDMI 2 do you have the proper one selected when choosing a input for the tv?)? Not all TV's will require
it, but some will need you to specify the format to look for, the console uses 780p (and 1080i i think), does your new tv require you to set this up?

Make sure you do not have the component cords or any other A/V (aduio/video) related cords attempting to make a connection from your console to your TV as well.

Here's a
link to the basic A/V setup stuff, and please do come back so we can put our brains together and fix the cord mess together! =) Thanks
