  1. My power supply light remains Orange and will not power my Xbox One console


    I was playing on my Xbox One one afternoon and in the middle of a game, the console just shut down on me. Nothing else powered down or even flickered - not My laptop, the PS4, the TV, the wall lights or anything else, just the Xbox One that decided to turn
    off. I checked the power supply, and the light was orange. I unplugged it, waited a couple minutes, then plugged it back in. Still orange, and the Xbox wouldn't come on. I left the power supply and the wall power plug unplugged over night and tried it the
    next day - still orange. Figuring my power supply was dead, I ordered a new one using Microsoft Support and tried it as soon as I received it yesterday. This NEW power supply is orange too. I tried both power supplies, old and new, on every plug in the house
    - they were both still orange. Nothing is working, and yet I don't have a single electrical problem with any other device I have in the entire house. Could it be I just randomly got another bum power supply from Microsoft?

    :)

    Still 3 flashing red lights

    My console died in the middle of gaming and flashed 3 red lights. I tried all of the steps suggested for 3 flashing lights that the support website/this forum suggested. My power supply light remained orange. My warranty is long expired, but I sucked it
    up and bought a new power supply. I was happy that it shipped quickly. It arrived today, and I excitedly plugged everything in, but only to have the same error remain. I've tried unplugging and replugging everything in to different outlets, but my 360 remains
    at 3 red lights and an orange power light. Any suggestions?

    Power supply not lighting up when plugged into Xbox but when not plugged in lights up.

    I also have this problem. I plugged my power supply into my Xbox one and it lights up for a few seconds before the console turns off, only the power supply unit is always lit in orange.

    I tried to light it several times this way and it is the same ride: it lights up for a few seconds before turns off and the power supply unit is always lit in orange.

    Xbox Crazy??

    Hi there,

    how exactly are you performing the cold reset?

    When performing a power cycle be sure to press and hold the power button on the console for at least 10 seconds until you hear the console powering down, when powering down the light on the power supply may switch between white and orange, as soon as the
    light on the power supply remains orange wait at least 30 seconds before powering the console on again.

    Let us know if this helped anything.

    defective xbox one from amazon

    The power supply should always have a light on it.

    Orange light on power supply/no light on Xbox One = Xbox One is off

    White light on power supply/no light on Xbox One = Xbox One is in standby (charge controllers, download updates, etc.)

    White light on power supply/white light on Xbox One = Xbox One is on

    Xbox keeps returning to home page

    Hi there,

    first thing I would advise is to try a Power cycle

    Please press and hold the power button on the console for at least 10 seconds until you hear the console powering down. Wait until the light on the power supply turns and remains orange, if the light is orange for at least 30 seconds power the console on
    again.

    Let us know the results.

    Xbox one failing to turn on after turning itself on, clicks then dies. HHD? Power Supply?

    It it normal for the power supply light to remain orange? I may be misremembering but I thought I recalled it turning white when ready to supply power.
