Help Please, Xbox Won't turn on and is making a clicking noise

RomulusOfRoma · Jul 6, 2018

So my xbox is making a clicking noise and won't turn on, this started happening after I attempted to hard restart when a disc randomly stopped working. The machine itself has plenty of ventilation.

I've tried unplugging all the power connections and trying it again, Ive tried resetting the power brick and nothing is working.

The console is basically a launch console, I got it close to launch.

Its not an x or s just the base Xbox One.

I've heard of an issue with consoles purchased before 2014 where a clicking noise would occur but I can't find any fixes other than just get a new one.

I'd really appreciate any help you can give me.

:)

I have the older white pro console. I think the power supply is done because the light keeps blinking and it's making a clicking noise. The xbox won't even turn on

Xbox one keeps freezing

My Xbox one is making weird clicking noises. Also, it won't turn on and just gets stuck at the green Xbox loading screen. Occasionally, it will turn on but it just freezes and I can't do anything on my Xbox. I have tried unplugging from the mains but that
doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi there taiterunicorn,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with the Xbox console. Sounds like it may be a hardware issue.

To help clarify the issue:

What Xbox console do you have?
When does the noise happen?
Does it happen when you play a disc game?
Is the console in a well-ventilated area?

Let us know so we may further assist.

Is the console plugged into a power strip or the wall directly?

I have read quite a few articles with people stating the exact same issue, and it seems in every case to be something going on with the fan. It doesn't seem to be a detrimental issue but if you would like it serviced the best thing to do would be to send
it in (as you well know). I hope this helps in the very least knowing this is a common "issue".

Keep Calm and Game On!
