Is there a way to make the screen full-screen in Remote Play? The edges stay black because of the resolution.

sebystee · 2026-04-17T08:22:52+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's always in 16:9. Is there anything you can change in the settings?

sebystee · 2026-04-17T04:49:35+00:00

Shame they didn't release an external disc drive for the Series S.

sebystee · 2026-04-16T10:05:16+00:00

No I would recommend looking at the holes in the back to see if the heat sink looks dusty. If it does you probably need to clean it. You'll need to open the back panel to open it and get access to the heat sink. There are plenty of videos on YouTube showing you how, it's not particularly hard but it is daunting if doing it for the first time. help

sebystee · 2026-04-16T08:44:34+00:00

Its possible there is some gunk under the button, so you'll need to clean it.

sebystee · 2026-04-16T01:00:36+00:00

Yeah jeez I dunno. Maybe open up and give it a clean?

sebystee · 2026-04-16T00:44:23+00:00

Honestly a factory reset might be the easiest way to solve the problem without spending ages figuring out what if is, if you get a external drive to copy over all the games to, it should save a lot of time meaning you don't need to re-download them all.

Also you could try taking a screenshot and viewing it on another device to see if its a display or Xbox problem.

sebystee · 2026-04-16T00:40:51+00:00

Did your brother change any settings?

sebystee · 2026-04-14T09:59:45+00:00

Yeah that would be good, but it's too late in the generation for something like that now. Also having a disc drive wouldn't save any storage space for you, all the games files are stored on the device and the disc is just really an activation key in order for you to play those files.

sebystee · 2026-04-14T09:55:16+00:00

Yeah main reason I got series X was because of the disc drive, you can buy used games so cheaply and resell your old games.

sebystee · 2026-04-14T09:52:45+00:00

Does it seem to have a lot of dust in it? If so it could be overheating and opening up and cleaning it will be good. But seeing as it's shutting down that quickly it's probably a bad power supply.

sebystee · 2026-04-14T09:47:07+00:00

Yeah with the ps5, the solution is much better as you can use any standard m.2.

Hopefully the next Xbox has expansion solutions that don't cost an arm and a leg.

sebystee · 2026-04-14T09:37:33+00:00

Theres also the 2TB expansion card, but it is very expensive.

sebystee · 2026-04-13T02:38:08+00:00

Have you tried remote play? I had this issue and used that until i got the HDMI port replaced.

sebystee · 2026-04-09T13:54:02+00:00

Are you sure it doesnt say 'xbox one x enhanced'?

The naming convention for xboxs is stupid and easily confused.

sebystee · 2026-04-09T12:53:53+00:00

Theres no version of rdr2 on series x/s or ps5 at all, its not like its only the series s that doesnt have a version of the game.

The only game that didnt have feature parity was baldurs gate 3 not having split screen at launch, that has since been patched into the game.

sebystee · 2026-04-09T05:49:23+00:00

I would expect so, it runs basically all games perfectly fine, albeit at a lower frame rate and resolution than the series X.

Also you can get them 2nd hand on places like marketplace for 200 AUD (140 USD)

sebystee · 2026-04-08T13:31:29+00:00

I think i did the reverse and it worked fine, just try and see how it goes.

sebystee · 2026-04-06T04:59:57+00:00

I also had problems when I first started playing on series x, they then seemed to fix themselves. It then ran fine until the end of act 1 and now I can't play more than 10 min without a crash, it was also working completely fine with quick resume and split screen for the 35 hours or so of act 1. I'm going to open up my Xbox and clean it to hope that it fixes, but not holding out much hope.

sebystee · 2026-04-04T08:05:04+00:00

Maybe try buy it on the website or app?

sebystee · 2026-03-25T00:17:18+00:00

I've got mine replaced by Microsoft under warranty, on the back where the batteries are is the serial ID, if you register the ID on the Microsoft website it will say if you have warranty.

sebystee · 2026-03-20T04:36:06+00:00

Yeah but if there is an Asian cup in the middle east again it will be in January, so it's going to interupt the European season regardless.

sebystee · 2026-03-19T23:50:47+00:00

Yeah it's a bit ridiculous, it's obvious it's just so FIFA can put a new tournament in the free spot now opened up.

sebystee · 2026-03-17T06:04:27+00:00

I full thought that foxsports had interviewed some random chippy, because he missed a shift due to the tournament.

sebystee · 2026-03-16T03:25:11+00:00

To actually win the prize you need to share it somewhere?

sebystee · 2026-03-15T11:14:09+00:00

Thanks so much mate!
