Xbox makes buzzing noise and fails to start

NathanColvin · Mar 8, 2023

I was on a loading screen when the console suddenly turned off completely. It keeps making a buzzing noise that appears to be coming from the power supply. Not a loud sound either.

And it refuses to turn on. I press the button and it makes the noise like it does, but the logo doesn't even glow white. After 5 tries it glowed once only to immediately turn back off.

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello NathanColvin, your console is plugged directly into a separate electrical outlet or is plugged into some type of electrical surge protector with other equipment.

If you have other equipment, turn it off and plug it into another outlet, if it continues to behave in the same way, you should send it to Microsoft's warranty.

My Xbox 360 Slim E makes a loudish buzzing/humming noise when i start up most games and makes the noise for about 3-5 minutes , i have the games installed on my hardrive , is this normal for it to do that

The red ring and the buzzing noise suggest an issue that needs to be repaired before a full fail. I would still recommend sending it in.
