Hi my Xbox light on console turns on but nothing on tv.

Jocelyn Brown1 · Jul 18, 2023

I've changed HDMI cords..and unplugging power for 30 secs.

I bought this for Xmas and it hasn't worked since end of March. F.y.i it doesn't take discs either.very frustrating. Any tips on how to fix

:)

Hi,Jocelyn! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Try resetting your display settings

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

On the console, press and hold the Power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds to turn off the console.

Press and hold the Power 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).

Note If you have an Xbox Series S or Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, press and hold the Xbox button  and the Pair button  instead, as your console doesn’t have an Eject button.

In either case, this will start up your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480).

To change this setting, press the Xbox button  on your controller to open the guide. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > TV & display options, and then select the resolution that you want from the options under Display

Silent so when you turn the tv off via the xbox the tv light goes off. the dvr light goes off and the ONE light goes off?

And then simply saying XBOX ON it turns on then say tv on the tv and dvr turn on?

Hi Guys,

Need urgent help.

My Xbox One S - X Button Light turns on pressing the power button and console appears on but nothing is visible on TV and turns of after 40 - 50 Sec.

This happened after last night my Xbox was turned on automatically in the middle of the night (maybe it was an automatic update) and I could see my Xbox light was blinking and then switched off after a couple of minutes.

The next morning, when I tried switching it on, it was not turning on.

Please help.

Thanks
