One of the most common issues Xbox One S/X users face is problems with the HDMI Retimer IC.

Here are some tips to protect your console, especially during frequent power outages:

• Make sure to use the original HDMI cable. If it’s unavailable, use a high-quality cable. Avoid using cheap, unknown cables like those meant for receivers.

• Turn off your console completely instead of putting it into sleep mode. Go to Power Options and set it to “Energy Saving.”

• Avoid moving the console between different screens frequently. Always ensure it is fully powered off before unplugging it.

• If you experience any issues with the HDMI port, such as damage or malfunction, or if the cable pins are damaged, unplug the console immediately. Do not use it again until the problem is fixed. A damaged cable or port can short-circuit the system and damage the IC, leading to higher repair costs.

• During power outages, unplug the console and only reconnect it once the power is stable. This applies to all household devices.

• Don’t worry about long gaming sessions affecting the IC; this is not an issue.

• Ensure the console’s ventilation openings are not blocked and that it has good airflow.

If the problem occurs, make sure to identify and resolve the root cause before reconnecting the console. For example, if the HDMI cable was faulty, replace it to avoid repeating the issue.
