    Series X blinking light


    The power button on my Series X is blinking 3 times, a few times in a row upon startup. The color is normal, white. It wasn't doing this before and at first I thought it may have just been updates, but that is not the case. I did notice the last time I started
    it up, the blinking power button on the console started up and the Xbox logo screen, upon startup, actually froze along with the sound that accompanies that logo. Then the logo disappeared for a second and started back up again, with the accompanying sound
    and then the console seems to be normal. This didn't happen for the first 10 days, but it happens every time I start it up now. Does anyone have anything similar or any ideas? Now, I did purchase the warranty on the device, but I really don't want to have
    a two-week-old console repaired already. It is still within the return period and I would prefer to do that and just wait for another console to become available down the road. Thanks for any input! Joe

    :)

    Series x question

    Just white usually a game will crash, light blinks series x games seem to struggle to play. And sometimes they'll freeze and shut the console down. No error messages though

    Xbox series X light wont stop blinking

    Hi Luca.

    My name is Renato.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    I'm sorry for the issue you're encountering with your Xbox.

    There are two different scenarios: if you can access the console or if you can't. In the first case, you could try resetting your console. However, before that, you can proceed with a full restart cycle.

    To do this.

    Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for at least 10 seconds.
    Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

    If the situation doesn't change, you can proceed with resetting the console.

    Press the Xbox button to open the Guide.
    Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
    Select Reset console.

    You can choose between resetting and removing everything or resetting and keeping games and apps. I suggest starting with the second option first, and then perform the reset and remove everything only if the issue is not resolved by keeping games and apps.

    It's important you know that "Reset and remove everything" restores the console to factory default settings. All user data, including accounts, saved games, settings, home Xbox associations, and all games and apps, will be deleted.

    Further information at
    https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/reset-console-to-factory-defaults

    In case you don't have access to the console, aside from performing a full restart, I'm not aware of procedures to reset the console. I recommend, in this case, or if you have access but even a total reset doesn't solve the problem, to contact official support and open a support ticket.

    I hope I've been helpful, and primarily, that you're able to resolve your issue as soon as possible.

    Kind regards
    Renato

    My Xbox One started shutting off on it's own. There is a virus in the console!

    I saw what happened. The blinking lights on the power occurred. It freezes, then the power light blinks repeatedly and finally shuts off.

    The green light on top of my Xbox X

    The One X or Series X? Either way, there's not a green light. The only light on the console is the power button which should be white.
