Problem with my HDMI connection

I’m currently having issues connecting my Xbox 360 to my Samsung tv with the hdmi cable.

It worked before and then one day just stopped working and now just says no signal.

I’ve read online that I should try to change the screen resolution on my xbox however, I can’t get onto the hdmi screen settings when I have the VGA cable plugged in and obviously if I have the hdmi cable plugged in I get a blank screen.

The tv recognises that the cable is plugged in and I’ve tested the hdmi ports with an Xbox one so I’m assuming it’s not the tv hdmi ports that are an issue.

Not sure if the Xbox hdmi port is broken or whether other people have experienced this and have a solution?

Watching Netflix on a big screen with poor resolution is painful

Hardware problems on Xbox One

I had a problem with Live TV not working correctly. When I first set up the HDMI cables, I connected my cable box to the XB1. Live TV worked off and on. Video would freeze or I'd receive a black screen. Once, I even received a message saying my cable box wasn't connected to the XB1, when clearly it was. I looked around for others having that problem and found a solution which worked. At first, I didn't have the HDMI cable packed with the XB1 plugged into both my cable box and XB1. I simply used the cable I've been using. When I made the change and used a Monster HDMI cable from the XB1 to the TV, everything worked! Right now, my biggest problem is taking time to configure Kinect correctly.

Sorry to hear about your problems. Sounds frustrating. Did you connect it straight to a tv with the supplied HDMI cable? I had some flicker issues and it was the HDMI cable. I mean it is possible you got two bad systems, but it is also possible you have a couple of crappy HDMI cables lying around your house, like I did.

 

Hi

As long as you have used a known good HDMI cable then can you try and reset the display settings using the instructions below. If this does not help can you please follow all the steps in this

troubleshooting guide and hopefully this will help.

1. Remove any discs from the disc tray.
2. Turn off the console.
3. Turn on the console.
   Note If you are using an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, turn on the console by using the Guide button on the controller. Make sure that you use the player 1 controller when you do this. The player 1 controller
   will have the upper-left light illuminated.
   
4. As the console starts, on the controller, press and hold Y while pulling the right trigger. The display settings are reset to the default settings, and then the console automatically restarts.
