[@joshuakitchel383]

Thank you so much for this video! I will, however, say that it did not work for me, and I was literally about to take drastic measures. And luckily, I didn’t have to. So when i was holding the two buttons, to do the reset, I had to let mine beep three times. After trying your way several times, I just decided out of pure aggravation honestly, just to keep hold of them longer and then found that it beeped a third time and it finally reset and worked. Either way I would’ve been lost without this video completely so thank you so Much, and if anybody else is having issues doing what he says not working, try holding the two buttons a little longer and wait for another beep!

[@mikesunboxing]

awesome thanks for letting us know

[@navets99]

Thanks a lot, this saved me

[@nezaralshehri9509]

Note: if the safe mode didn’t pop up for you I have the solution, you might have played with different screens that your Xbox changed the resolution to 1440p. Go to another good screen that support 1440p or 4K and change the resolution to 1080p or 720p. Also enabling CEC is very important to let your Xbox change the resolution automatically depending on the screen resolution. Hope that helps you.

Are you sure not doing a reset wouldn’t do it

[@k19management48]

This works! I was losing hope thinking I would have to pay for a repair or open it up and fix it myself but no need. Just a Lil patience. I had to completely unplug everything from the Xbox and the TV power cord as well for atleast 10 minutes and then tried this process and it came right on. Thank you.

[@joshsmith8715]

I just had this happen to me and was very frustrated. I have a smart tv and this method did NOT work for me. What I ended up doing (which was what someone said here in the comments) was to unplug EVERYTHING. The tv, the Xbox, the power cords, hdmi, everything. Wait 10 minutes then plug it all back in then start up the tv then turn on the Xbox. It worked and my screen is back on

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks for letting us know

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

to save time when un plugging electrcal devices instead of waiting for a minuite or two you can just turn the power button on while its unplugged this helps dissipate any energy that remains in the system

Another thing you can do is restart your TV I have a Roku tv and my Xbox was not coming on but I went to another room and tried my older TV that does not have built in Roku and it worked fine so I went back and reset my TV that was having the issue with my Xbox and everything worked fine the only thing I had to do was reset up the game setting for the display

did the reset help to fix it?

Thanks. This reset worked for me. Interesting thing is when it did come on, it set up like a new Xbox. Seems the device totally reset. When it did come up, it was trying to set the video to 4k, which did not work, but 1080P did. Don;t understand why it did this to begin with since I have been using it in the same set-up for years. Thanks again.

if the device is a series x it will reset or the version with a disk drive

I did all that but once I changed the resolution to 720 p "what my tv supports" it gives a no signal sign then reset back to 640 x 480 after 20 seconds would really appreciate some help
