xbox wont connect to hdmi properly

jaydenritsma · Mar 5, 2022

My xbox won’t properly connect to my TV. I own a bunch of TVs and HDMI cables and none of them really seemed to work. Eventually i looked for help on youtube etc and i got my xbox to show up on my TV again but then it only worked on 640x480p and i couldnt get it back to 1080p no matter what i tried. I tried changing it in the xbox settings but whenever i chose 1080p it would turn my screen off again and after about 15 seconds it went back to 640x480p i also tried the hard reset, turning the power off for 30 seconds, turning the xbox off while holding the power button for 10 seconds, basically everything i could think of. then i decided to reset my xbox completely to factory settings. i now have the 1080p back but shortly after my screen went blank again and would turn on with blue stripes and weird glitches. i tried more HDMI cables and different tvs again but that all doesnt seem to work. the xbox does turn on it just doesnt show on my tv. is there an issue in the xbox itself?

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Jaydenritsma, apparently you've tried all the alternatives I could suggest to you, would suggest that it performs an offline update, but since you did a full reset on Xbox and the problem remains, ideally sending your console to the Xbox warranty.

You access the site above and register a new device using the serial number. you find behind your console.

Then in MORE DETAILS, look to request repair, Start Online Service.

To mail it to Microsoft.

If your console is no longer under warranty, the link below has a table of all amounts charged by Microsoft for an xbox out of warranty

and for the xbox to boot properly needs to have a hdmi connection, as the xbox most of the time will not boot unless it detects hdmi.

Hello, try different HDMI cable. Also check if you connected it properly (HDMI in, HDMI out) Also check your DVI settings

double check your connections...HDMI cable might not be plugged in properly or its faulty...try a different HDMI cable.
