My power supply is broken

I recently bought a new power supply for my Xbox One because the original one **** itself. This new one though doesn't exactly work either. But this one is different. The original one just wouldn't turn on. The orange light would flicker and it would appear
very dim. But the new one I bought doesn't do this. The orange light goes to white and the fan starts blowing for about 5 seconds, then it just turns off. It does this about 3 or 4 times until it just stops. When I try to power on my console, it turns on for
about 3 seconds, then it shuts off. But my external hard drive is always on, so it's getting power. But my console won't stay on for more than 3 seconds. Please help

Make sure all the vents on the console and power supply are free from dust and debris and try again. If that doesn't work contact support directly to see about getting it set up for a repair. Contact Us | Xbox Support

Good Luck.

Got the fix, it does not need to be uninstalled, I had to clear the cache.

This is done by holder you finger over the xbox symbol on the console for 5 seconds, it shuts off, left it off for 30 seconds, turned it back on (since I have my tv connected via devices it shut off my tv during the boot up sequence after sending the on/off
command lol)

After that, games loaded fine from disk. We had left the console on for about 3 days straight, so I figure I should shut it off more often.

This also did not work. It still will turn on for about 15 seconds then shut itself off

I has this issue. I found that holding the Xbox button on the pad for about 10 seconds, basically until it shuts itself off, then turning it back on again sorted it out. (not turning it off via the console)

well i did leave it plugged in when the console was off then the light turned off after about 10 seconds from shutting the console off
