    Xbox showing nothing but a grey screen..... even on troubleshooting startup! Why?


    I turned on my Xbox Series S recently to find a grey screen upon startup. I took the steps to initiate a troubleshoot menu on startup but even that gives me a grey screen. I have no idea what's going on and I need help!

    :)

    Xbox showing nothing but a grey screen..... even on troubleshooting startup! Why?

    Hi there. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    If there is an external hard drive connected to your console now, turn off your console then disconnect the external hard drive. Turn on your console without it and see if it turns on properly.

    If that doesn't work, try doing a complete power cycle and see if that sorts it out.

    1. Turn off the Xbox console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down completely.

    2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

    Important Be sure to wait 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    3. Plug the console power cable back in.

    4, Press the Xbox button on your console to turn on the Xbox console.

    Update Error E102

    Hi Marius,

    To try and resolve this problem, use the Xbox One startup error troubleshooter:

    1. Go to the
      Xbox One Startup Error Solution
      .
    2. Scroll down the screen and select E102.
    3. Follow the instructions in the troubleshooter.

    If nothing on the troubleshooter helps, then the console has a hardware failure and would need to be sent in for repair or the console will need to be replaced.

    Xbox one S takes hours to boot

    OK, left it overnight and now it shows an E106 error. I went to do startup troubleshooting from the error screen but when I selected reset everything, the consol froze and nothing happened. I restarted consol and I followed the instructions, holding down
    bind and eject for 15 sec as I press power button but I never hear any second startup tones.
