My xbox one s makes the beep sound when I press the power button but doesn't light up or...

Hello Shaheed! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Unfortunately it could be multiple things. However, there are a few things you could try. First thing would be to power cycle the console by removing the power cord for a short amount of time.

If its plugged into an extension, then try plugging directly into the wall in case the extension is not providing enough power. You could also try a different power lead.

If all of the above does not work, then it sounds like it needs to be serviced.

Hi! My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Which Xbox do you have? Have you tried resetting the Xbox's display settings?

If there's a disc in the console, eject it.

On the console, press and hold the Power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds to turn off the console.

Press and hold the Power button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console.

You'll hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. Don’t let go until you hear the second beep or see the console start-up in low resolution mode (the Xbox start-up screen will appear slightly pixelated).

Note: If you have an Xbox Series S or Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, press and hold the Xbox button and the Pair button instead, as your console doesn't have an Eject button.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hello Callidus F! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your Series S. Sounds like you have already done a lot of triage to get it working. Have you tried forcing it into Low Res Mode to see if that works? I have put the procedure below.

Press and hold the Power button and the Pair button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You'll hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. Don’t let go until you hear the second beep or see the console start-up in low resolution mode (the Xbox start-up screen will appear slightly pixelated).

If that doesn't work, sounds like the console needs a service.

Just to confirm, are you trying to do the steps below in sequence?

If there's a disc in the console, eject it.

On the console, press and hold the Power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds to turn off the console.

Press and hold the Power button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You’ll hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. Don’t let go until you hear the second beep or see the console start up in low resolution mode (the Xbox startup screen will appear slightly pixelated).

Note If you have an Xbox Series S or Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, press and hold the Xbox button  and the Pair button  instead, as your console doesn’t have an Eject button.

In either case, this will start up your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480).

Hi Samy,

No that did not make a difference.

When I follow the proceedure the power LED does not light up for 2-3 seconds, then I get the double beep for starting.

After 10 seconds or so the power LED pulses brighter. I can hear fans spinning inside.

Sometimes when holding sync and pressing the power button the console fails to start.

It will start if the power button is held.

On a normal start up the power button lights instantly along with the startup beep.

I have never had a beep anthing after the 2-3 second power up beep.

It always shuts off after 60-70 seconds - no display.
