That's some messed up product support. Xbox update out there that is leaving people with a black screen requiring a reset of the box. I had to log back into my accounts after that but so far looks like I fixed it.


Hope if it happens to you you'll go through this fix rather than spend an hour bouncing the thing, resetting cables, etc.

An Xbox/PlayStation is at this point a prebuilt PC. So yeah, if in doubt observe the Three Rs of tech support:

Reboot. Rebuild. Replace.
