    Xbox One Screen Flashing Black Unbearably


    My 2 year old Xbox One flashes a totally black screen over and over again. The flashes usually last for about 4 seconds and can reoccur within a second of going back to normal. After deleting all unnecessary apps and games to clear up the hard drive I tried
    a cold start . Also tired holding the power button and eject at the same time until the second beep(which never came). Nothing has worked in anyway. The only time that it doesn't flash consistently is when I'm on the start-up screens or the Home Guide. It
    seems that the system is too weak to support games or any high activity. Even on startup. And I've also tried changing my Video setting to allow 24Hz but that options isn't allowed under infidelity.

    The HDMI cable seems to not be a factor in this, nor the TV. I don't know what else could be done other than possibly to a full physical clean.

    Any help would be much appreciated

    :)

    Screen flashing black

    Hello,

    I am having this problem (posted by another user with same problem on reddit) :-

    I bought my Xbox one S only 2 weeks ago for my son's christmas present. I get this flashing every 2 minutes and occurs with gaming and bluRay playback. I have tried lots of things mentioned in the forums



    eg, new HDMI cable, different TV (both are 1080P) and toggling the display settings (24Hz on/off etc).

    After having spent 50 hours downloading the FIFA 17 that came in this bundle, i don't really want to return it to the shop.

    Please can you help ?

    Hey ToughBuzzard827! The customers in that Reddit thread seem to all have Vizio TVs, are yours the same or a different make/model? Post back and let me know!

    Xbox One intermittent flashing "snowy" screen.

    Hey there, Pema! We are currently still investigating the black screen flashes. The snowy/static screen and HDCP errors were the ones resolved recently. Please keep an eye on that thread for updates on the black screen flashes! :)

    Xbox One Screen Flash black

    This problem seem like a old issue and not fully resolve, I have my XB1 for X'mas last year, and this issue also appear on me.. it started with happening some time at the beginning, but now it happen like every time I playing with my xbox, it happened on
    the dashbox screen as well as during game play.

    Some say, changing the HDMI cable to a better one (or the best you can buy) and update the TV firmware helps..

    I am getting a better HDMI cable from my nearest store soon, will see if this help my problem.. as it getting annoying while it happen during game play...

    Black screen flashing on xbox one

    This sounds more or less like a hardware issue, try another hdmi if you haven't already.. Also check out your warranty at myservice.xbox.com also make sure your plugged into a wall outlet and not a power strip

    Xbox one is flashing a black screen

    Hello Chitexan,

    We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns a flashing screen occurring on your Xbox One console.

    As you have already attempted to change the HDMI cable, and because this is still occurring, it may be best to ensure that the HDMI port on the console is not the cause. Does the HDMI cable feel loose when connecting it?

    An HDMI port that isn't properly holding the HDMI connection will cause the screen to flash as it is attempting to find the signal from the console.

    Check out the port for us and then let us know the results.

    Best wishes!

    Black screen flashing on xbox one

    Hey everyone!

    Sorry to hear about the black screen issues! If the issue is continuing to occur, please make sure to try the following troubleshooting steps if you haven't already:

    • Press and hold the power button on your Xbox One console for 10 seconds.
    • Once your console has powered off, unplug the power cord and the HDMI cable.
    • Wait 5 minutes and then plug in your console and HDMI cable.
    • Power on your console and check to see if the issue is continuing.
    If the issue continues, I also recommend trying a different HDMI and plugging your console into a different TV if possible. If the issue persists after trying your console with a different HDMI cable and TV please let us know the following information:

    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried already?
    • Are you participating in the Preview Program?
    • When did the issue start?
    • Where does the black screen flashing issue occur? (In-game, on the Dashboard ect)
    Give the suggested steps a try and be sure to let us know the requested information. Thanks in advance!
