What does it mean when the power button light blinks while the console is off??

Hi, xArkSlade08x!

My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

That is completely normal, and it usually indicates a console is downloading or checking for content such as game/app updates. If you take a look at the r/xboxinsiders community, you will see there are some posts where Xbox Staff confirms this is completely normal.

I hope this helps!

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

What happens if the console won't turn back on from the controller or presses the power button from the console. Later when do I want to use the Xbox?

What does it mean when your touch power button has a blinking red light on start up? But never starts... xbox 360 will not power on and i feel i tries everything. All the cords are secure, i pulled out the hardware made sure it was dust free. The power brick
is solid orange light that goes green when you try to start the console but goes back orange cause the console turns off after 10 blinking red lights and never powers up at all. What should I do????

You know when the console is on there is also a green light with the red light

If the red light is seen on the front of the console where the green light normally is, in the power button, that means you could have a hardware failure. The red light from the side as you shown does not mean that, it's most likely the DVD laser as I said.

HA! It just happened to me. I hit the power button on the console to turn it off, it's blinking. Maybe it's updating. I should have used my tv app or used the 360 instead. this sucks. Damn what does the blinking light mean? ill have to search through support
