    Why does my Xbox One S blink twice rapidly every couple times I turn it on?


    I just got this Xbox last year and recently, every so often when I turn it on it will blink rapidly twice for a few minutes. It does not load up quickly but it almost turns on as if it just got reset. It works fine but I’m just worried it’s going to break down one day.

    xbox one x blinks rapidly twice what does this mean

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Cormac, when it says it was blinking, did it blink and stop or did it keep blinking all day?

    Is your console plugged into an outlet by itself, or is it plugged in along with other equipment?

    Where's the update?

    Ok, I'll try it again... The first time, it blinked a couple of times then eventually turned off. Now, no blinking but I can still hear the fan.

    Why can't I pair my xbox controller or another controllers to my xbox but I can pair just fine on my phone? This issue always happens when I swap out cords on my controller.

    Hello Dominic S, my name is zahir.

    Have you tried to use a usb cable directly to the xbox and try to do a controller update.

    A fast blinking light indicates that your Xbox controller is trying to connect to a console or PC. Slow blinking usually indicates that there is likely an issue with the battery pack. The most common causes of a blinking Xbox controller include: The controller battery is possibly drained or dying and must be replaced.

    How do I resync my controller?

    Turn on your Xbox One console and hold down the “SYNC” button on your controller simultaneously with the “SYNC” button on your console. Hold these buttons down together until the light on your controller begins to flash rapidly, then release both “SYNC” buttons.

    If this does not work please use link for controller service.
