Problem with controller Xbox button symbol light that’s shutting off on its own

If by "green power up button" you mean the segmented areas then they don't come on unless you connect a controller. If you're just seeing the "on/off" symbol light up then just connect a controller.

Also its not 4 red lights, Its one red light in the middle of the power on button. (Looks like an eye) It starts green then turns red and shuts off by it self with in seconds of hitting the start button too .

@ theowenkiller.... so my controller died tonight while playing. i plugged in the play and charge kit and it started to charge for the remaining time i was playing like normal with the light red. i was done playing and i clicked the guide button and went
to the right under settings and shut my console down this way. once again the light on my controller turns green and then the lights goes off after a minute of shutting off my console. its so frustrating!!!!! why is it doing this?!!!

Hold he xbox power button in for at least 5 seconds until you hear the xbox shutdown and the light shuts off then you can turn the xbox back on when you can see its off

To connect one controller, first insert the batteries. Then, press and hold down the xbox symbol on the controller. It should then light up green. But, if you're trying to connect a second xbox controller, on your console there should be a button on top
of the memory card insert place near the bottom of the xbox, below the green power switch. Press it, then on the controller you are trying to connect, press the xbox button. It should then light up.
