Damage to Xbox One HDMI ports is pretty common, usually caused by rough handling of, or accidents to, the console. The repair usually involves dismantling it right down to the motherboard.

The Xbox One HDMI’s ability to recognise and communicate media and devices is perhaps amusingly called the HDMI handshake. Now, if that handshake is a bit on the limp side and doesn’t work properly, it signifies that the encrypted HDCP in the Xbox One HDMI signal fails to be recognised by any one of the connected devices. Which means you can’t play your games.
Most of the challenges faced in Xbox One HDMI port repairs at Kensington Computers & Laptop Repair central south London are the result of careless use of consoles. When devices get moved around without much thought for safety, leads get yanked out often taking the Xbox One HDMI socket with it.

Troubleshooting a Problem Xbox One HDMI Connection
Some tips on us about how to rectify Xbox One HDMI minor connection faults, so you can get gaming again in double quick time:
HDMI Cable Connections: Ensure the cable is a tight fit at each end. These connections are not as snug a fit as a component or composite video connection and often they just pop out. If this is a frequent problem for you, we suggest buying locks for your Xbox One HDMI cables or, even better, get self-locking cables.
Turn-on Procedure For Your Devices: If you’re one for turning on your TV before any of your other devices, consider the reverse. Turn on the other secondary devices first, then the television. Another thing. If you have several different HDMIs, try starting them up in a different order every time you use them. Having worked out the best turn-on sequence, it’s worth making a note of it for the future. Then, you shouldn’t have problems.
Xbox One HDMI Input – Try Different Combinations: While using your remote control, switch to another input to the television and then go back to Xbox One HDMI – you’ll then be able to see if the signal locks properly. You could also try plugging your device into a different HDMI input then and repeat as instructed above. Ensure you select the correct input for the device you want to use, whether that’s a Blu-ray player or a games console. Remember, some devices are tuned to specific channel inputs therefore you need to tune to that input via the TV remote.
Check Resolution Setting on Your Source Device: Some Xbox One HDMI’s have a settings menu to control video resolution. Look to see if it’s on AUTO. If that’s the case, reset it to match the native resolution the television or video projector. Native resolution means the number of vertical and horizontal pixels – or dots – contained within the screen, such as 720p, 1080p, or 4K (should you have 4K-capacityTV or projector).
A Process of Elimination: Should the device be connected to an audio receiver or other, take out the Xbox One HDMI connector and plug it directly into the television. If that works OK, then the receiver or other device you’re trying to use is where the problem lies. If so, just keep the Xbox One HDMI source connected to your TV then connect the audio separately from your device to the telly until you can discover what the problem is with the receiver. If it is the HDMI input on the audio receiver, you might still be able to use the receiver’s audio input to get a sound from your Xbox One HDMI.
Firmware Updates – Get Checking: By going on the Internet you’ll be able to discover whether there are any firmware updates for your Xbox One HDMI. While you’re online, look for Xbox One gamer comments or people discussing problems in relation to Xbox One HDMI handshake issues. Track any discussions on the subject and follow useful links to suggested solutions.
