Xbox one X won't display anything and won't boot into safe mode

Hello there @JakeNoice101, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I am sorry to know about the console situation; However, I believe your console might need just a system refresh to perform the system update successfully. I would like you to go through the following steps to perform a quick power cycle.

I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console.

If you are still getting the same issue, I would like you please to kindly follow the instructions below to physically reset your console:

- Turn off the console unplug all the cables then re-plug them back again.

- Since the console is an all digital one, click on the "Bind" button, after 10 seconds click the home "X" button just once without letting go of the button. Throughout the whole process you will hear two beep sounds and end up with a troubleshooting page. On your screen. You will need to select the "Reset this Xbox" option and choose "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.

In case all previously mentioned troubleshooting steps weren't helpful, the next solution would be to perform an offline system update. In the link below you will be directed to everything you need to know about the offline update and how to run it.

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

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

Hey! I fixed it! I just kept trying to boot into safe mode so I could format the HDD and restart brand new! And after like an hour finally got it! I also had the one X not the digital one S. Now I can play Farcry 3 Thanks tho! Have a good day!

unplug the power from the xbox, plug it back in then press and hold the power button on the xbox for about 15 seconds for it to boot up in like a safe mode which should reset the display settings to basic

Issue still exists.... anyone have something similar happen and a permanent fix?

@Microsoft Xbox, any reason this would fix the problem? I've had to do it 4 times already... now i just leave my xbox on always to avoid the hairdryer.
