Xbox one X bricked after Xbox Insider Alpha Update.

Sly Nation · Apr 15, 2019

Hi there. Ive been a part of the insider program for years and today (April 12th) I recieved an update and as soon as my console restarted and i saw the home screen, my display went blank. I think it might be a display driver problem because the Xbox stays
on and when I long press the Xbox button on the controller, it vibrates. So I do not think its completely dead, but never the less, I tried different cables, my PC monitor, different TV and its definitely not any of those. So it has to do with the Xbox itself.
Any ideas on how I could try and remedy this? BTW my warranty expired a few months ago :|

Hey fellow Gamer,

Sorry to hear you are having these issues. The three options I can see here are

1. Power Cycle your console.

2. Try a Factory Reset using a USB Flash Drive

3. Contact Xbox Support https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us

XBox Insders is the place to help you with this issue. You should post there.

I would try doing a factory reset:

Press and hold the console power button for 15 seconds, till full off.

Press and hold both the bind and eject buttons (keep these held)

Press the console power button (keeping bind and eject held)

You should now be at the troubleshoot menu

Select reset console

Select reset console keeping my games & apps

you can't use the OSUs as they are not compatible with the Insider builds.

Seems you have to be invited to join the Alpha ring

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/xbox-insider-program

The current Xbox One Update Preview rings are:

Alpha – Open on an “invite only” basis and receives updates at the earliest point in the preview window.
Beta – Open to Xbox Insiders with a Program tenure of 3 or more months and an Xbox Insider XP Level of 5 or higher. This ring receives updates shortly after Alpha.
Delta – Open to any Xbox Insider with a tenure of 1 or more months that has reached Xbox Insider Level 2 or higher. Depending on certain edge cases where further attention is required from Alpha or Beta rings, Delta Insiders may receive
system updates before Beta, though this is not a common scenario. Additionally, while early system updates are not guaranteed across the Delta ring, all Delta Insiders will receive the update prior to GA.
Omega – Open to anyone and receives system updates shortly before the GA (General Availability) release.
