    Xbox Series S dim upon boot up, how to fix?


    Hello, I was curious to know if anyone has had a solution to how to fix this?

    I just booted up my Xbox Series S after about a month, and I noticed it’s extremely dim. I’ve noticed it’s only when I’m trying to play, as the TV is bright whenever I’m browsing the TV menu.

    I have tried unplugging and leaving it off before plugging back in, I have swapped out the HMDI cords. I have tried lookin in my TV settings and nothing. It’s getting really annoying since I want to play, but I just can’t seem to find a solution.

    :)

    Hi Jessenia, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    Can you please turn off the Auto-HDR then check again if the same issue will occur?

    Hi Francia, thank you for the suggestion. After following your instructions on turning off the Auto-HDR and restarting my Xbox, it still seems like the problem continues.

    I appreciate you letting me know. Do you have a different TV that we can try to use? We will just check as it can be a calibration issue.

    Yup, changing to HDMI did NOT fix the issue. Still dim upon turning on the X1 the next day...
