My xbox series s starts to turn the power icon on and off without giving an image or any reason

Jorge Rodriguez5 · Aug 6, 2022

This problem happened to me last night when I was going to sleep, I had turned off my xbox about 3 hours ago and was about to go to sleep when the X on the power button on the console started to turn on and off repeatedly without stopping, until after 29 seconds what happened that stopped, I had it in energy saving mode and it seemed strange to me that something like this would happen, is it normal?

I am from the Spanish-speaking community so I did this message with the translator in case you see any spelling errors

Hi, Jorge! thank you for writing in.

The blinking power button means that your console is downloading/checking for available updates, it's normal behavior and should have no negative impact on your console. Once that is done, your console's power button should stop blinking and remain off until you turn it on again.

Are you experiencing any issues after that happened?

Turns out it was somehow trying to connect to either the xbox one s or xbox series s consoles in my house for some reason. Turning them off fixed it.

Sidenote: In all my experiences with wireless xbox controllers (xbox 360, xbox one, xbox series x/s) the sync button needs to be held to be put into pairing mode (quarter ring rotating clockwise /flashing xbox logo), while the button on the console needs a single press, if it helps anyone.

I don't have xbox one s . I have original one.

Since last update or maybe 1 month max. Anytime I switch let say from a game to youtube and go back to a game the screen is black and if I quit game by pressing start on game icon and quit and try to start it my xbox turn off automatically and restart.

Same if I play a game turn off my xbox come back later as soon as I'll press the game icon to continue (xbix is on instant on mode) it will be black I can hear sounds but cannot do anything and xbox will restart . But if I just play without changing app
or coming back to the same game it will be fine in can play 10 hours in a row bo prob.
