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

Please try the following steps one at a time to resolve the issue:



Solution 1: Do a power cycle to clear the cache of the console



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.



Solution 2: Do a factory reset



1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

2. Select System > Settings > System > Console info.

3. Select Reset console.

4. Reset and keep my games & apps.

Hi mister mascot,

The main issue is the clicking and flashing lights, the console only shuts off after a game crash. I play Rainbow six Siege a lot and it's prone to game crashes, but when it does crash it sometimes shuts the Xbox off. I'm just wondering if the flashing light
and console clicking is making the game crash more frequently. My console is on top of my desk with plenty of breathing room. I'll be sure to check the troubleshoot out and see if it fixes the problem, but I fear I'll have to send the Xbox to Microsoft and
spend hundreds to repair it!

Flashing green light on Xbox 360 S console

The indicator light flashes green when the disc tray is opening, when the disc tray is about to open, and during ordinary DVD drive activity. For more information, see

Flashing green light on the Xbox 360 console power button.

Note If an indicator light flashes green other times, such as when the console is turned off, you may need to request a console repair.

Mine was doing the same thing. The light was flashing for maybe 15min. I took BritGuy's advice. All i had was my video game case sitting on the ventilation for my xbox. As soon as I took it off the light stop flashing.
