  1. Why won’t my xbox turn on?


    My xbox one is not turning on, it is making a sound (the power on one) but it’s not showing on my monitor/tv or turning the LED on. There is power because my external hard drive turns on and lights up.

    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

    It could be a hardware issue, especially if you're sure the console is powered properly.

    Unfortunately, this forum doesn't allow hardware repair advice; you'll need to seek help from a technician in your area who can identify the problem.

    Best regards

    Why Xbox won’t turn on

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you want to turn on your Xbox.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please unplug the power cord from the console, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in and press the Xbox button on the front of the console.

    And then make sure the power cable is firmly connected to both the console and the wall outlet. Try using a different outlet to rule out any issues with the power source.

    It is also important to ensure your console is well-ventilated and not overheating. Ensure there's enough space around the console for proper airflow.

    Kindly check the light on the power supply. If it's solid white or orange, the power supply is working properly2. If there's no light, unplug the power supply, let it cool for 20 minutes, then try plugging it back in.

    Please give an update how it works after performing the troubleshooting steps.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Don't use a power board.

    Try a different power wall socket.

    Ensure the power cable is firmly connected to the console.

    If the console works at your friends place but not yours then there must be electrical issue that needs resolving at your place, not a console issue.
