Reset display settings on series s without the screen on

Hi Robert, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

You can reset the console to factory defaults.

With the console turned off, press and hold the Pair Button on the console, then, press the Xbox Power Button to turn on the console.

Keep pressing the Pair Button until you hear a second Beep, then release it.

Your console should be booted into the Troubleshoot menu.

Turn on your controller and select Reset this Xbox > Select Reset and keep my games & apps.

I hope this helps.

Since you are using an Xbox Series S console, please press and hold the Xbox button and the Pair button instead when resetting the display settings.

Distorted letters on the Xbox Series S can be caused by various factors, ranging from software glitches to hardware issues. Here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem:

Software Glitches: Temporary glitches or software conflicts can sometimes cause display issues, including distorted text. Try restarting your Xbox Series S. A simple restart can often clear these temporary issues.

Display Settings: Check your Xbox Series S display settings. Ensure that the resolution is set correctly and that any text scaling or other display enhancements are not causing the distortion.

HDMI Connection: Inspect the HDMI cable connecting your Xbox Series S to the TV or monitor. Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends and that it's not damaged or frayed. Try using a different HDMI cable if available.

TV or Monitor Settings: Check the settings on your TV or monitor. Sometimes, overscan or other display settings can cause text distortion. Adjust the settings on your TV or monitor to ensure that the entire image is being displayed correctly.

Update Xbox Software: Make sure your Xbox Series S is running the latest software updates. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues or display glitches. Check for updates in the Settings menu under "System" > "Updates & downloads."

Reset Video Settings: Try resetting your Xbox Series S video settings to default. This can sometimes resolve display issues caused by misconfigured settings. Go to Settings > General > Video & audio > Video modes & formats > Reset to default.

I really hope your problem has been fixed with my help, if it works let me know and have a nice day. Oskayra
