Xbox One S - seems to power up but no video

[survivalbloke]

Working on a Xbox One S. It seems to power up alright, but I'm not getting any video. I tried to perform the video reset by holding the power and eject buttons down, but after about 5 seconds, the machine will power up but I never get the second beep, even after holding for a full minute.

Where should I be looking?

does it have audio?
i mean do you know it's actually "running" ?

Excellent question. I had it connected to a PC monitor and never even thought about that. I just connected it to a TV and no, there is no audio. Power LED is on, HDD is spinning and WAIT, it just came on! With video. So then it's just taking forever to boot. I guess just a slow HDD, yeah? Still on the green XBOX ONE screen though. - finally came up on the profile screen. about 5 minutes.

maybe a corrupt or fucked drive
a lot of them use the seagate rosewood drives that destroy the platter coating

you could try a re-install - m$ has the o.s. available to download to a pc to re-image a drive

Will do, I appreciate the help. It is a seagate drive, not sure of the rosewood suffix though. This is purely anecdotal but I own a tech shop and we replace at least 1k hdd's a year. Seagate is the most common name in the stacks and piles.
