    Why won’t my xbox stay on? Goes off after 20 seconds.


    So I was playing my xbox series s, it is practically brand new. While playing it was lagging really bad so I restarted the console. After restarting i just had a black screen and the console would shut off after the system light being on for abt 20 seconds. I tried to leave it unplugged for the day and plugging it back in, that didn’t work.

    :)

    I tried all of those things. I even took it to a shop and they opened it up and cleaned it out. They said it was an overheating issue and that my best bet was to get activate a warranty because this happens a lot with the new consoles and any solutions that may work take a long time and tend to be hit or miss.

    Hello Devon! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    Sorry to hear you are having these issues. What I would check is make sure the console has plenty of ventilation so its not getting too hot. Next I would make sure its not the power supply to the console by plugging it directly into the mains if its in some for extension or surge protector.

    If all of that checks out, I would perform a system reset in case any of the system files are corrupt.

    Black Screen

    Similar problems, screen stays black entire time, light comes on and stays on for 5 to 20 seconds then goes off. Can’t access the Startup Troubleshooter. Get one startup sound, but never a second. When I let go, it just goes to sleep. Can even get
    it to start from a controller with a blinking connection, but connection stas blinking and console acts exactly the same. Light comes on, sounds like its booting, then sleeps after 15 to 20 seconds. Tried cables, connections, super ventilation...nothing
    works.
