Microsoft Xbox One 500GB Console - Black

Product Information

If your Xbox One only shows black screen when trying to play a game or running an application, resetting the display settings may help.

Note: If your console doesn’t have an ‘Eject’ button, then you can make do by holding only the ‘bind’ button. Even though the date is passed and a patch was released, we’ve been seeing users going through the same problem with the only workaround being ‘resetting the console’. If you have a new TV and you’re not familiar how it works, consult the manual or the documentation that comes with it. You can check for hardware defects, or try power cycling the Xbox, you can also reset the display settings.

If you own and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, press and hold the Xbox button and the Bind button instead. Network outages could do it, since reports of the black screen of death appearing closely coincide with Xbox Live outages. Now press and hold the ‘Xbox’ (Power) button on your console for about 10 seconds to turn off your console.

It’s possible (though not exactly proven) that this glitch occurs when the system fails to properly load the dashboard after booting up from rest mode or closing a game.

Specific to the S variant of Xbox, this issue occurs when the user cannot sign into their Xbox account. The first Xbox One consoles were shipped out in 2013 and directly competed with Sony’s PlayStation 4 console. After a strange incident, the Phantom Thieves wander into a bizarre realm where its citizens are living under tyrannical oppression. This game will expand on what the original did, blending simulation with traditional action RPG combat mechanics.

If you see the ‘No Signal’ message on the screen, this indicates an issue with either the HDMI cable or HDMI port of your console or TV/monitor. If you use the proper add-on, each of the four consoles in the Xbox One family can play Kinect titles. The Xbox One was initially released in 2013, but in 2016 and 2017, the lineup expanded to three main models. If the solutions that we suggest in this guide won’t fix your video issue, there may be a hardware malfunction that causes it.Windows 10/11: Requires Bluetooth, compatible USB-C® cable or Xbox Wireless adapter (sold separately). For example, Dolby Vision, one of the new features added with the recent update, may not work properly when enabled and sometimes controller input isn’t recognised after a game has launched. An Xbox gets bricked when the console is unable to load its firmware and instead, the system just displayed a black screen. If you’re still experiencing the black screen bug, there are thankfully workarounds that have been shared online.

So, make sure that you’ve inserted the HDMI cable in the correct ports on both the TV and the Xbox One console.However, the screen has to support HDR-10 instead of only Dolby Vision HDR, so make sure you pick the right one for the task. It might not offer a considerable boost in performance, but it’s still better than the original console.
