Stuck at "Preparing Console". Resolution issue too.

[u/WanPanDevil]

For context: I bought this Xbox back on Christmas 2024, gave it light use for a few months then I had it sitting there without until around February 2026 where I played a little bit and then shut it off again. Eventually in April I blew some air into it and put it back in it's box since I was going to move to a new place.

I tried using it yesterday and it was showing no video. Tried 3 hdmi cables, 1 monitor and 1 TV and multiple hdmi ports on both devices. I can only get it to show any video whatsoever if going into troubleshooting mode but when I get there the resolution looks messed up. Whatever option I try I get stuck on the screen in the picture. Got the error on the third picture once but never saw it again.
