    Why isn’t my HDMI working

    Hi Trystan,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your HDMI. Do you have a spare HDMI cable that you can use to test if the issue is coming from the cable?

    To make sure that what you are experiencing is not related to your device cache, I would recommend that you perform a power cycle. Please note that this is different from a regular restart, Kindly follow the steps below.

    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

    2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 50 seconds.

    Important: Make sure that you wait at least 50 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    3. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

    If you don't see the green boot-up animation when the console restarts, repeat these steps. Make sure that you hold the power button until the console completely shuts down.

    Important If your console is in Sleep mode, the above steps will shut the console off completely. Sleep mode, or the ability to turn on your console by saying "Xbox on," won't be enabled until you restart the console.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Xbox One won’t connect to Samsung Freestyle projector

    Yes the Xbox still connects to my old projector just fine. But it is not a 4K projector, it projects at 1080p. I’ve tried another cable and it doesn’t seem to affect it all. Same message. The cable also works when connecting my laptop and other things to my new projector. The xbox is the only thing that isn’t working. That is why I’m thinking that the hdmi signal is not fast enough to notice the Xbox is connected. Maybe a hdmi receiver would help?

    Hdmi to DP doesn’t work because DP isn’t bidirectional, which is required by the Xbox to handshake
