Is the HDMI port for the xbox series x covered on the standard warranty?

Yes the Xbox warranty will cover the HDMI port. As long as your console is still in the warranty.

Hi , we’ve had exactly the same problem with our Xbox x so arnt we covered by the warranty? Clearly there a fault on there end if it’s happened to loads of ppl

if its a broken hdmi port as is the OP original issue which is physical damage then warranty does not apply as its not a fault.

if the hdmi fails to work without physical damage then it can be a fault with the cable, port, or one of 2 chips internally, if its the port or internal then it can be classed as a manufacturing fault which is covered by warranty.

Hi Jalen! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Xbox Series HDMI port. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

Based on the information I've gathered, I'm afraid that physical/accidental damage would not be covered by the normal limited warranty that comes with the console.

However, if you had purchased the Microsoft complete warranty (which does cover physical/accidental damage) then the repair would be free but otherwise something like that would be a paid repair.

Hi
the hdmi port in my xbox is broken during a transport home to my parents. i still have warranty on my xbox will the repair be free then? and who to contact, I have researched for a few days but no luck

unless you have Microsoft Complete (which covers accidental/physical damage) then the repair for something like this wouldn't be free as far as i am aware.

The standard warranty doesn't cover things like accidental/physical damage.

And what if I buy a cable will it work

The Xbox Series X will come with a HDMI 2.1 cable,

But whether you use a HDMI 2.1 cable or not, the HDMI port on the TV needs to be HDMI 2.1 to achieve the 120hz refresh rates at 4K.

using a HDMI 2.1 cable on a TV port with HDMI 2.0 will still only limit the Xbox Series X to 60hz refresh rates.
