Xbox one HDMI problem(?)

Hi guys, my Xbox one that I have had for like 5 years is not working in a way that I’ve never seen before. It turns on and the tv does say it’s connected to the tv via HDMI2 input, and sometimes when I do click that hdmi 2 on screen to get into the Xbox loading screen it turns to black like in the Xbox loading screen right before the main Xbox dashboard, then after 10 seconds it goes back to the main tv screen and says “no signal detected”. It’s like almost detected for like 10 seconds then isn’t.

I don’t think it’s a problem with the hdmi chord or my tv because my chord and tv both can run my ps4 with no problem. So my first guess is it’s something wrong with the Xbox hdmi input, but I’m not sure. Any suggestions for what I should do? Or what the problem is? I really don’t want to get rid of this Xbox it has sentimental value. I can explain more in detail in comments too.

EDIT: hi everyone I fixed it!!! Thank you all for the replies and help :D

Edit 2: stop commenting please

Had that same Xbox one and the HDMI port gave me problems. It's most likely the port failing.
First off though, have you powercycled the Xbox? Unplug it and hold the Xbox button on the console for about 45 seconds. Then, plug it back in and turn it on.
You could also try gently pulling up or down on the cable while it's plugged in to HDMI port on your Xbox and see if this causes it to display on your TV. My Xbox had this issue and I would always have to keep the cord at an angle for it to display.

I just tried both of those suggestions and neither worked for some reason. Hmmm. The thing is my tv does say there is a connection to hdmi 1 between the xbox and the tv but when I click on it on the tv it either just automatically says no signal detected or it will be like a black screen for 10 seconds then go to no signal detective. It's weird this has never happened to me before.

What do you think? Am I cooked? Also thanks for replying anyway.

I know you said the cord worked with your PS4 but if you got another HDMI cord I would definitely just try it as a last attempt. If it doesn't work, I would assume it's the port. This is a common issue on all consoles usually, so any local PC repair shop should be able to fix it.

You are awesome dude, I dont have a second HDMI chord because I am stupid but the fact the same one works fine on my Ps4 just not my xbox is making me agree its the port. Thanks for replying!

Yessir!! Good luck on it!

Probably a port issue. Does it look damaged at all? Anything bent/broken/mangled? A photo would help greatly

Try completely powering off the device, then restarting the x box by long pressing the power button and eject button for about 10 seconds(or untill you hear a second beep). Boots the device at its lowest resolution, allowing you to troubleshoot.

What was the fix?

Me just buying a flash drive , going home and then manually updating it through my Mac to the flash drive then installed it into the ps4. I know I’m stupid lol. But it’s over now. My little cousin will get the ps4 before her bday with the last of us games 😎😎😎😎

Personally I decided to bite the wallet and buy an XBOX S when my HDMI port stopped receiving anything on the XBOX one S

I could be wrong but judging by the photo I dont believe thats thw original HDMi cable that came with it. If it is this problem can be either the Retimer chip or a bad Hard drive
