My Series X won't stay on. Turns off right away

I've tried it a multitude of ways. Looks like I'm returning this console. Really disappointed because I received a faulty One, and One X.

do you have an external usb drive attached, if so unplug that and see if it is the same, if not then it looks to be faulty.

you could try the service menu to see if you can reset the console.

Hello NODFERATU, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support!

I think your power supply may simply need a power reset. Often, power issues are due to the power supply resetting after a power surge.

To reset the internal power supply, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the power cord from the console.
   
2. Wait 10 seconds.
   
3. Plug the cord back into the console, and then press the Xbox button on the front of the console.
   

If the issue persists, here are some points to check:

• Check that the wall outlet you’re using is working with other devices.
  
• Check that the power cable is firmly connected to the wall outlet and to your console.
  
• Ensure that you're using the power cable that came with your console, and that it's the correct cable for your region.
  

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

That does sound like an infection, but you did the right thing by turning off your Xbox 360 right away. You should be fine in that case. Personally, I'd stay off any CoD older than Black Ops. They all have security issues.

Unplug your plug&play cable it's probably trying to charge your controller
