First, try a full power cycle. Hold the power button for 10 seconds until it turns off, then unplug it for a few minutes before turning it back on. This worked for me!

You might want to check the HDMI cable and port. Sometimes it's a simple connection issue causing the black screen.

Honestly, just give Microsoft support a call. They know how to handle it best if the basics don鈥檛 work.

Sometimes, a factory reset might be the way to go. Hold the bind and eject buttons, then press the power button until you hear two beeps. Follow the prompts for a reset.
