Xbox 360 S Power Button pressing by itself.

This can be an issue with the console power flex, I can recommend you to get the console inspected in the closest repair shop.

hi. im mel and i am an independent advisor. it sounds like it may be a hardware issue within the console. if you speak to support via this link they will be able to go through some fixes with u and let u know whether its something that needs fixed https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/contact-us

Hey there,

What particular problem are you having? For instance, does the controller power on or is it only having problems connecting to the Xbox 360 console itself?

If it isn't powering on, try checking the batteries they might need to be replaced, if you are using a battery pack, or just give it a charge with a charge cable, if you are using that instead.

If you are trying to connect it to the xbox, make sure you are using the sync buttons on the controller and the Xbox 360 console. Be sure sure to press the center silver xbox guide button to power it on and then press the sync button above it on the top
side of the controller. Right after doing so press the sync button on the Xbox 360 console. It will be on front face of the console.

Hope this helps if it isn't powering on at all it might be a hardware issue.

Is the light in the center of the power button red? If so try the steps in the article below.

Hello

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you're having trouble connecting your Xbox 360 controller to your Xbox 360 S. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:



1. Make sure that your Xbox 360 S is turned on and that the controller is within range (about 30 feet) of the console.



2. Press the Xbox button on the controller to turn it on. If the controller doesn't turn on, try replacing the batteries or charging the battery pack.



3. Press and hold the connect button on the front of the Xbox 360 S console until the ring around the power button starts flashing.



4. Press and hold the connect button on the top of the controller until the Xbox button starts flashing.



5. Wait for the controller and console to sync up. The Xbox button on the controller should stop flashing and stay lit, indicating that the controller is connected.



If these steps don't work, you may need to try resetting your Xbox 360 S console or replacing the controller. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
