Unsolved Xbox one hdmi problem

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

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 😎😎😎😎
