Title: Xbox One X HDMI port failure
Post by: shatterstar69 on March 23, 2020, 03:35:16 am

This just happened to me a couple weeks ago.  The system was working fine one day the next, my 4k TV stopped getting a signal.  I checked YouTube and found out this is a fairly common thing with the early Xbox One X systems.  I was hoping there was an easy fix but there isn't.  Anyway, with it being out of warranty I was going to send it in to Microsoft but they charge $275 not including shipping.  I am just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if I should just buy a new system?

Hey Shatterstar,

Sorry to hear about your Xbox. This is a fairly common issue, and it is fixable.  I suggest you check out some videos on youtube from "My Mate Vince", "TronicsFix", or "Andrew Paul". All 3 of those guys have in-depth videos on how to solve the issue.  Most likely it's a chip on the board that's gone bad, which only costs a few dollars to replace yourself, just take your time and practice first before attempting it yourself.

Okay sounds good, thanks!
