I can't setup my Xbox; Black screen; tried 2 TV's & 2 HDMI cables. Help

Hey so.... after like 4 days of my tv working normally it started glitching out like crazy again. We've tried it on multiple tv's and have tried multiple HDMI cables but only one cable and tv worked. On the tv in my kitchen, there weren't any glitchy lines or anything but it would still black out every 2 seconds and it's so frustrating. We are going to bring the xbox in for a clean or repair... idk what to do anymore. I'm worried that my xbox is the problem and that it can't be fixed. As I'm typing this I'm in my room looking at my xbox home screen going black every 2 seconds and having glitchy lines go across the screen like mad.. Please help ;-;

My screen went black and I tried 2 different HDMI cords plus I tried the HDMI cords on my cable and they worked

No, use two cables each to a HDMI port on the TV and then use your TV remote to change between HDMI inputs.

Theres just a black screen on my tv when the xbox one x is shut off! It doesnt let me see the screen when i press my remotes “source” button, so I cant use the remote to switch from hdmi 1 to hdmi 2.

i have to manually unplug and then reinsert the hdmi cables into the hdmi ports

What troubleshooting steps have you tried? The basics would be: -

1. Try a different HDMI cable.

2. Try a different HDMI port on the TV.

3. Try a different TV or monitor.

That will help rule out the HDMI cable or the TV as the cause.

Also, when you say it happens every 10 seconds, do you mean that literally? Or do you mean the screen goes black at random every so often, but not literally every 10 second?

Checked all speaker cables, and are good. Audio issue happened again, I paused the tv show for about 5 min and hit play on the Xbox controller and picture started moving but no audio. To troubleshoot the issue I went from the eARC HDMI 2 port and switched it to HDMI 1 where my Denon receiver setup menu is, it only showed a black screen. I switched back to HDMI 2 eARC port and a black screen appeared. The Xbox image was gone. I decided to unplug the Xbox disconnect the HDMI from the Xbox then wait for 5 minutes and plugged everything back in. Turn the Xbox on again and only a black screen appeared.

Next I decided to use Spotify and cast it to my receiver. Sound came out of the speakers with no issues. I switched back to the Xbox and still a black screen and no audio. Next I turned everything off, and cycled it back on, still no picture or audio. Finally I unplugged everything from the surge protector (Belkin Pure AV Model AP41300-12) then plugged it back in, turned everything on again and the Xbox was showing picture and the audio was on. Updated my HDMI cables again to, HDMI 2.1 8K with Ethernet.

Help in figuring the problem out would be greatly appreciated.
