Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

YSK: How to Reset the 360 display settings without working screen

If you ever tinker with the graphics settings of the 360, swap to a different type of TV or for whatever reason you are not getting an image on your TV from the 360.  Here is how to reset the graphics settings to default on the 360 without a picture on the TV.

  1. Remove any discs from the disc tray.
  2. Turn off the console.
  3. Turn on the console.
    Note If you are using an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, turn on the console by using the Guide button on the controller. Make sure that you use the player 1 controller when you do this. The player 1 controller will have the upper-left light illuminated.
  4. As the console starts, on the controller, press and hold Y while pulling the right trigger. The display settings are reset to the default settings, and then the console automatically restarts.
If this does not work you will have to call support as there is might be something wrong with your 360.
