    Xbox series x screen flickering and controller disconnecting.


    Hello,

    Been having an issue with the series x where my screen will flicker quite heavily and then disconnect my controller. Sometimes it will only flicker and then it’ll stop and be fine but other times it will flicker really heavily and then disconnect my controller. Once my controller gets disconnected there’s nothing I can do to reconnect it so I have to just leave it for a while and come back to it later which is obviously not ideal. I’ve tried a few things like having a flick through the display settings but no luck. I was running the console on a 4K TV and then moved it to a 72hz monitor for a minute but both had the same issues. Anyone else have this issue?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Hi Kyle-S! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    Have you tried using a lower resolution?
    Thanks for the reply Ricardo, I have tried changing from 4k down to 1080 and it still showed the flickering.

    In that case you will need to request the warranty service for the device

    I may have a solution to this.

    It may have to do with a hdmi handshake issue with standby mode.

    The best simple solution is to when you start encountering the flickering, press home button exit out (saves game as quick resume) go into settings, sleep mode and start up, restart now.

    Once you restart the issue shouldnt repeat.

    When the xbox and tv is turned on they handshake/communicate with one another. I think standby mode somehow corrupts this process by keeping it on. I have switched to energy save so that the console isnt powered on all the time and possibly doesnt lead to handshake corruption.

    Hi Kyle-S! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    Have you tried using a lower resolution? This won't be actually a fix but if that works could mean that is something related to it, in any case best thing would be to request a warranty service

    Follow these steps to request the service:

    Sign in to the Device service and repair page with your Microsoft account credentials.

    https://account.microsoft.com/devices/select-de...

    ****If your device doesn't appear, add it

    Select the device that you want repaired.

    Follow the onscreen steps to complete your service order request.

    Vanguard Controller issue ...

    Connecting the controller with a USB cable doesn't work,

    Controller still disconnects even with a USB cable connected,

    I have the same issue with Series X using mouse and keyboard for Call of Duty Vanguard.

    I played during the beta and there was no problems with the controller disconnecting but as soon as the game released, the controller disconnects,

    I've tried a Xbox One controller Series X controller, with batteries and a USB cable, and the controllers still disconnects.
