  1. No video output except a "Friends" icon


    I am completely at a loss here. My girlfriend and I were messing around with our avatars and I had just chosen that very abstract background of white and black for my gamer pic. The Xbox One flickered a couple times, but I thought nothing of it. Then, when
    it was refusing to load the pic, I just canceled out of the customize avatar area. All of a sudden, the screen flickered off and left only a single icon of the "Friends" tab in the center. I've tried resetting the Xbox One, tried different HDMI cables, using
    the low resolution reboot, but it always just shows this logo in the center. It doesn't even show the Xbox logo. I can hear sounds as though I were actually using the Xbox One; it even responds to my voice commands (I think... I only hear it making sounds
    in response), but it just won't stop. I am posting a pic here. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, guess it didn't post the image. Just use the link then. And yes, it is upside for some reason. Photobucket is being a pain.

  5. Talked to customer support. Figured it out. It was a problem with reloading/rebooting or something, though they aren't exactly sure of the reason. However, we solved it by unplugging all cables and letting the power brick completely drain. Then we just plugged
    everything back in. That's it! Hope this is helpful to someone else.

    Hi there, my hdmi port is not working on my xbox. I'd there some sort of adaptor that I can get for the TV out part? Possibly plug into the USB on the xbox and plug the hdmi into that?

    there is no ability to output video directly from the Xbox except for HDMI

    you would have to have your system repaired

    Xbox One Sound issues with TV and Soundbar only when playing Video Games?

    Already checked that and like above nothing else sounds weird, except video games. Blu-ray's, streaming services, my cable, everything. Only weird thing is that games output a weird audio signal that isn't full.
