My Xbox randomly stopped turning on.

my headphones / xbox it randomly stopped working

I connected my ps3 directly to the router and it stopped signing out randomly , which in return stopped signing out my xbox randomly... So i dont think i need a new router now. Thanks.

I have this problem as well. I have only had my xbox for three days! Did I get a bum unit? It just randomly turns itself on. I'd like to find out how to make it stop doing this. Has a solution been found?

Hey there!

Unplugging your console is definitely a way to keep it from powering on or off independently. You don't happen to have a very curious cat by any chance that might be turning your console on, right? That'd be too easy...

If you haven't done it in a while, next time you unplug your console, spray a soft, clean cloth with a household cleaner and wipe down the front of your console to be sure there's nothing over the power button. Then, make sure that you don't have any other
devices like a smartphone connected to your console that may be powering it on via the Xbox App. Don't forget to check and see if your console is currently set to

energy-saver or instant-on mode. If it's in instant-on, go ahead and switch it to energy saver mode.

Hopefully something there does the trick for you.
