    Very random 'pings' from Xbox One when powered off -- help or suggestions, please?


    I've seen and read some other discussion threads that kind of related to my current issue, but I thought maybe if I started a whole new thread, that someone could hopefully be of assistance and help me remedy things. So here's my story......

    Just recently - say within the past month or so - my Xbox One (without the Kinect) has started making pinging noises at random when it's turned off, for no known reason. It doesn't happen often or anything, just entirely at random....and on one occasion,
    it pinged, ejected the disc, and powered itself on. I have no problems at all with it whenever I'm playing games - just when I have it powered off is when it would happen. And in fact, before today, it has gone almost 2 weeks straight without making any
    noises while being turned off.

    I haven't tried any troubleshooting remedies yet or anything, as I have no clue what could be causing the noises anyway, especially since my system is only a few months old. I have it plugged into a surge protector (along with my T.V., 360, and other
    appliances) and I haven't messed with any of the system power settings.

    So I was just wondering if anyone could possibly help me with this....and if so, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    :)

    Very random 'pings' from Xbox One when powered off -- help or suggestions, please?

    Update on things since the previous post....

    No pinging sounds have been heard yet, and all I've done troubleshooting-wise so far was changed my power settings from never turning off to turn off after 1 hour of inactivity. My console is currently set in "Instant-On" mode, which I discovered later
    on that when the console is off while in that mode, it will check for and download any updates that are running in the background. So now I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the random pinging noises? (...I haven't done a hard reboot on my console
    yet, nor have I started unplugging it at night...)

    Router issues

    What exactly do you mean by "shuts off"?

    Is the router actually turning off completely (as in no electrical power to the router)?

    Or is your Internet connection disconnected, and the router is still powered on? Are all your devices affected from the disconnection (you can test this, by having a PC/laptop running that is pinging a stable server in the internet. For example running "ping
    www.google.com -t" on a Windows PC will constantly ping the Google service. Does the ping still work when your router "shuts down"?

    When you check the network settings on your console, what is the NAT status shown?

    XBOX NO WORKY :\

    My Xbox suddenly turned off. After letting it cool for 15 mins I turned it back on but it turned off again after about 2 mins since then when the power supply is connected the Xbox cooling fan starts running, sounding like a jet engine but the Xbox
    stays off. A slight inky burning smell is also emitted from the fan area. Is this an issue with the thermal paste or something else? Also please note that there is no light( I mean the one that comes on when Xbox is turned on) on the Xbox and I’m sure the
    power brick is fine as according to the Xbox guide it gives all the required lights ;however , Is this normal that when I plug it in the wall, the power supply shows a GREEN light.green light continues when put in the console but the console stays
    off however the console fan powers on instantly(seemingly only thing on) is this a power supply issue( as I read that when it is plugged in the wall and not in the console it shows an orange light) or is this a THERMAL PASTE issue cause recently I played
    for 10 hours continuous for an entire week. or Is this a burn or console damage as an inky burning smell emitted from the console when the power supply is connected( from fan area). I have a standard Xbox 1 console. The Xbox on attempting to turn
    it on gives no response but very very faint sounds can be heard occasionally (the one Xbox 1 gives when it is turned on).
    Please help !!!
