    Xbox not functioning.


    I turned on my xbox and was greeted with a black screen. I looked for answers on the internet and it told me to reset it which required me to press and hold the pairing button and the eject disc button. When I reset the console, it goes to the "preparing console" screen and stays like that for a while until it says "something went wrong". I don't know what to do at this point.

    :)

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    You need to sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings and make sure that these settings are set to “allow”.

    You also need an Xbox Live Gold subscription.

    Thank you for your response/ I can not do any of the steps you suggested. When I do power reset it brings me back to the same screen. I cannot access any menus on the game.

    Hello @JamieRedmond, I hope everything is going well for you!

    

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support.

    I am very sorry to know you are having such conveniences. Please do not worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

    According to the explanation you have provided, I believe your console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. Therefore, you will only need to follow those simple troubleshooting steps that I will provide you with and your issue should be fixed.

    The following troubleshooting step will help you clear out your MAC address:

    Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

    If the issue still persists after going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 10-15 seconds plug all your cables back in and then restart your console.

    In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

    Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

    Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you to sign in to the account.

    I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

    Kind Regards

    Stay safe, and happy gaming!
