My xbox one s simply does not work

Sounds like your internal HDD may be the culprit.

Log in to a different console and give it a shot.

Also, have you tried a full factory reset and tried to reinstall everything? If your HDD has gone bad then you'll need to run games and apps off an external HDD.

That or send the console in for repairs.

If it's compatible with Xbox One, it should work with the entire family of devices (Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X). What error message do you get when you attempt to connect the device to the One S? Is it simply not seeing the controller?

yes, Njal. That is how the xbox one S does work. But i went ahead and swapped the ports anyways, and enabled the enhanced hdmi. XBox one S still works, xbox one X does not.

Having the same network problem. I want my money back! My old Xbox one works great on Wi-Fi but my Xbox one S does not. Side by side the s starts lagging out.

To solve this problem, try these solutions in order.

Solution 1: Reset to factory defaults

Note Before you reset your Xbox 360 console, make sure that you document the current dashboard settings in case you need to restore these settings later. You will also need your wireless network password.

Here's how to reset the network settings of the console to the default settings:

1. Turn off your console.
2. If you use a wireless connection, unplug the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter from the USB port.
   
3. Turn on your console.
4. Press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and select System Settings.
   
5. Select Network Settings.
6. Select Wired Network or the name of your wireless network, if you are prompted to do so.
   
7. Select Configure Network.
8. On the Additional Settings tab, select Restore to Factory Defaults. Note This will only reset the network settings. This will not affect any other console settings.
   
9. Turn off your console.
10. If you use a wireless connection, plug the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter back into the USB port (if you are using an adapter).
    
11. Turn on your console.Note If you use a wireless connection, you will receive a message to configure wireless settings. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your wireless network.
    
12. Test your Xbox LIVE connection. To do this, press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and select System Settings. Select Network Settings, select Wired Network or your wireless network name (if you are prompted to do so), and then select
