Checked receipt and it's JB Hifi Nov 2018

Used about 1 hr a day about every other day, maybe less

Anyway today the TV screen just went blank

I can see the Xbox is working through streaming it to my PC

The b@st@d still says it can see my TV

But I've checked different HDMI cables that are proven to be working on my PC, tried different ports on TV, different monitors

No signal - but yes all this time I am streaming the Xbox and I can play games

Then I thought I'd factory reset it and now it's the end as there is no HDMI signal and I can no longer stream

Chuck it in the bin?

It should last a lot longer than 2 and a bit years, so I'd take it back to JB and try to CGA it.

I can’t follow what you mean by “I can see the Xbox is working...” and “No signal - but yes all this time I am streaming the Xbox and I can play games”. Find your post confusing - could you explain further?

@eracode He'll be meaning using the Xbox app on Windows 10 to stream the games to the Windows desktop from the Xbox device. Similar to PS4 Remote Play. So if you're only ever doing that it stands to reason you wouldn't realise the Xbox itself isn't displaying on the TV properly.

Yeah, try CGA - I did try CGA on mine when the wifi board died but got too hard because it was a prize via Hoyts, and their suppliers couldn't work out what to do... I spent $20NZD and ordered a replacement board from Ebay and installed it myself. Been fine ever since.

Wouldn't be this issue would it?

Interesting, when googling the issue, the first auto-suggestion is:

"xbox black screen of death 2020"

Appears it's a common problem?

But, yeah, as others have suggested, I think that's a good candidate for the CGA route. Although, perhaps trying Microsoft directly wouldn't be a bad option - you might be pleasantly surprised, especially as it appears like it's a manufacturing fault.
