Power button flashing

BattleMonkey16 · Feb 9, 2017

When I try to turn on my Xbox 360, the ring around the power button on both the console, and any controller I try (wireless or hard wired) slowly blinks on and off, and its stuck on the Xbox logo screen. I've tried 3 different wireless controllers, the
cable for the wireless controllers, and a hardwired controller and nothing works. I also cont re-sync the controllers to the system. Can anybody tell me if and how i can fix this?

-Thanks, Dan

Flashing Power Button

It seems to happen about three times a week. Which seems strange to me because I know it is not updated that often, and the fact that when it finally does turn off, it goes into power saving mode.

Hello BattleMonkey,

I upgraded to Xbox One sometime ago, so my Xbox 360 is currently packed up in the closet :-( However, if you haven't already done so, may I suggest following up with "Flashing
green light on the Xbox 360 console power button" and some of the other troubleshoot steps on the "Xbox 360 support" pages. The fact that you said this is happen on "both the
console", leads me to think there maybe some kind of network issue going on. My apologies for the limited first hand Xbox 360 support at this time. But, I hope this points you in the right directions in getting things fixed.

Good luck and good gaming,

SA

This happens to my console every once in a while. Just unplug it from the wall outlet and wait for 1 minute so the console stops. ( also, so static electricity goes away) Then turn it back on ( unless the consoles super hot) and sign in to xbox live. If
the console is super hot do not plug it back in and I would get a hold of xbox support.

Hi Clancey123,

I have often wondered this myself at times.. Turns out that this generally happens when a dashboard or service update is happening..

Is the console somewhat unresponsive before you turn it off? I have found that it takes several minutes to shut down in that case, regardless of whether I tap the power button or hold it. - That and the kinect powers on and off over the several minutes.

How often does this happen?
