My xbox one x scorpio edition turns on and instantly off in 1 second

Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you.

Your power supply may be faulty or improperly connected, or there may be another reason. Xbox Series X|S has an internal power supply that works in all regions world-wide. If your console won't turn on properly, it 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 mains lead 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.
4. If the console turns on, the internal power reset worked.
Do this step if the problem happens again.

If the console does not turn on, try the following:
* 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 which came with your console, and that it's the correct cable for your region.

I hope this helps resolve your query.

Hello Brilliant,

I've tried all of these solutions already and do believe it may be the power supply. I tried with a different cable and this didn't fix the issue.

This is happening to me as well. Already exchanged my Xbox One X with another one (also Project Scorpio Edition). Both exhibit same behavior. Controller turns on the console then desyncs. I have to turn it off and on again for it to resync.

This only happens when console is completely off.

Mine died yesterday after 3h of usage. While I was playing Assassins Creed the console turned off. Tried to restart it but the X just turns on for a second and you can hear the Start sound and the xbox will turn off immediately.

I disconnected all cables, tried a different wall outlet and did some power cycles but this morning the xbox still does the same: NOTHING

Plugged into wall outlet (Y/N): Y

This is exactly what happened to me. I was playing a game of Madden 18 and it just turned off. I tried everything you said as well - nothing. It just makes the startup sound and the light comes on for about a second and then it shuts off.

Console: Xbox One X Scorpio Edition

Region: US

Plugged into wall outlet (Y/N): Plugged into same power strip I’ve been using for Xbox One for a couple years along with LG Oled 4ktv, and Onkyo receiver - never had any issues.
