Powering on problem

Having trouble with powering on my XB1.

All voice commands work except for the "Xbox On" command. Yes, I have the "Instant on" option turned on and yes the "wake up Xbox" option on. All other commands work just fine, so not sure why this command doesn't work.

Also if I try to turn on my XB1 with the controller, the controller just flashes and never turns on the XB1. If I then manually turn on the XB1 the controller gets in to a weird state...keeps flashing, never connects to the system and I have to pull the
battery of the controller to the reset it.

So basically the only way to turn the system on is to manually hit the button.

Any thoughts?

Major problem powering on XB1 Elite

Hi guys

I would really appreciate any help from the volunteers.

Here are the technical problems with my XB1 Elite:



1. Although the power supply brick and XB1 may be on, we just have a blank screen. It often won’t recognize the HDMI connection.



When the console is completely turned off, the TV suddenly recognizes the HDMI connection, which is bizarre.



The console may work for say 5 occasions but then I won’t be able to turn it on properly for another 30 occasions.



2. Games, apps, and the console dashboard often freezing/crashing.



My attempts to fix it.



· All home equipment checked and is fine e.g. TV, HDMI, plug sockets etc. This includes changing HDMI cables, and changing the HDMI port on the TV



· I have tried a complete hard reset many times e.g. holding down ‘power’ button for 10 seconds. 95% of the time this doesn’t work



· Following Microsoft’s troubleshooting advice, I have tried to reset the display settings by pressing ‘bind’, ‘power’, and ‘eject’ for 15 seconds but this has not worked

Do you guys have any suggestions?

 

I had the exact same problems as you with the turn on function and weird controller behavior after. Turned out it was a defective power brick for the Xbox One. I only found this out after the power brick overheated and shut my Xbox off in the middle of Madden.
If you touch your power brick and it is hot to the touch (it should only be slightly warm) then you have the same issue as I did and you should return it to the store for exchange. I did this and the turn on feature works perfectly on the new one.
