Help on flickering lights

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Can you please try turning off auto HDR and check if there will be an improvement?

Hi chewingum007, Is the orange light flickering?

If you insert the cable into the new controller, does the light flicker at all? If so, try inserting it really slowly and see if that helps.

Is the light on your power supply solid white or orange? It shouldn't flicker and there should be a light.

Hello Ocrracer,

Nilay here and I'm glad to answer your query today.

On your console display settings, is HDR and Dolby Vision enabled?
Most people that get flickers on the screen (both playing or only on the dashboard) with Dolby Vision on is because both HDR and Dolby Vision are enabled at the same time.

Just try to turn HDR off and see if it solves your problem.

Or

Would you please try physically resetting your display options?

If there's a disc in the console, eject it.

On the console, press and hold the Xbox button for 10 seconds to turn off the console. Unplug all cables from it, wait for 5 minutes and plug again.

Then, press and hold the Xbox button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You’ll hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. Don’t let go until you hear the second beep or see the console start up in low resolution mode (the Xbox startup screen will appear slightly pixelated).

In either case, this will start up your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480). To change this setting, press the Xbox button to open the guide. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > TV & display options, and then select the resolution you want from the Display dropdown.

See if this display reset can improve things for you.

Thank you
