Is my Xbox One S done for?

Zane B98 · Apr 9, 2024

My Xbox one s has all of the sudden started to not even boot up anymore. I will be stuck on the green Xbox screen for some time, then maybe a white loading screen for a few minutes or sometimes straight to a blank black screen where it will stay indefinitely. There are times it will load up the home menu but without the ability to do anything as it doesn’t show apps or even respond to input. I have tried changing power source outlets, restart/resetting, factory resetting which worked initially right after only once yet the next day I am having the same issues as before, and I took apart and cleaned the dust but with no change in the issue. I am wondering if it is an issue with something tied to the circuit board and if so what could it potentially be? Consoles that are brand new aren’t $200 anymore so not keen on the idea of upgrading just yet if not necessary. Maybe when GTA 6 finally releases.

Hi Zane! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Xbox One S console.

Based on your description of the green/black screen error, usually, this happens due to the console's corrupted system software.

Since the factory reset didn't work, you can try to perform an Offline System Update according to the official Xbox website: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/offline-system-update">https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/offline-system-update

"To use the Offline System Update, you'll need:

A Windows-based PC with an Internet connection and a USB port
A USB flash drive with a minimum 6 GB of space formatted as NTFS"

If you have the following requirements, please follow the detailed instructions to perform OSU for Xbox Series X through the link below:

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

Thanks Mason but I've already done that. So I traded my Xbox One S for an Xbox Series X and not a problem at all.

Thanks again

Hi MVP,

I already have done a full reset of my Xbox one S, even deleted all data and it didn't work.
