Xbox One Original lights up and makes noise but won't turn on

I have had my xbox one since the year it came out. Recently, it began freezing in the middle of games and refusing to turn back on after hard restarting it. It wasn't the games that froze, but the xbox interface itself. For a couple of weeks, if I left
it off for long enough, it would turn on and play fine for a few hours before repeating the aforementioned behavior. Last week, however, after freezing during one of my games, I left it off for over 24 hours but it would still not start up. When I turn it
on, it makes the startup noise and the light turns on, and I can hear the xbox fan running. However, nothing shows up on the display and after turning the xbox on initially, the controller will disconnect and begin blinking as if it cannot recognize my xbox.
Also, the xbox will stay running for however long it is allowed, but will not shut off without a hard restart. Pressing the console button simply plays the turnoff sound but does nothing. This is not a display issue, as I have been through all of those threads
and tried everything, such as changing ports and cables. My laptop connects to my display fine with the same port and cable, so it cannot be that. Additionally, I have been through the battery supply threads and know this is also not the problem, as the power
brick lights up solid white when the xbox is turned on, and I have tried alternative bricks with no success. I would not be posting this question if I did not think my situation was unique, as I have been unable to find anything online in the past couple weeks
that could shed some light on how to resolve my problem. As a member of the Microsoft community for over ten years with my initial purchase of the xbox one long ago, I hope that I can find some assistance in resolving the overly frustrating issues I am experiencing.
Thank you

Xbox One Won't Turn On, Makes Power On Noise and Briefly Lights Up

Just as the title says. My Xbox One won't turn on. The power brick is orange and then briefly turns white when I press the emblem button. It makes the power on noise and briefly lights up, but then nothing. Please help!

 

Xbox One Won't Power On

I've found some other similar threads but my Xbox makes the start up noise but doesn't light up or turn on. It won't make the noise if I try to use the controller to turn it on but if I use the button on the front or voice commands it does.

Everything is plugged in properly. The power brick is lit up white. It worked 12 hours ago and nothing got moved or changed.

Any ideas?

 

Hi Colbert,

First of all I do want to apologize that this has been such a hassle. I have a good idea of all the process you have done so far in regards to this issue of the console not powering on. What we can attempt to do is to bring up the Xbox Startup
Troubleshooter. To do this follow these steps:

1. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
   
2. Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in.
3. Press and hold the BIND button (located below the Xbox button on the console) and the
   EJECT button (located on the front of the console), and then press the
   Xbox button on the console.
4. Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
   
5. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the
   BIND and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone.
6. The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter.

Here you will choose to perform a
Soft Factory Reset(while keeping games and apps)
Before resetting your console make sure of the following:

• There is a stable network connection.
  
• The information for all profiles is known (email and passwords)
  

If the issue persists on the device, I would recommend to contact Customer Support for
further assistance or visit the Device service and Repair
site for any warranty information on the console.

 

I have heard of this before and attempted to do it, but unfortunately my bind button has been broken since an accidental drop of my xbox a few months after I purchased it. The button makes no noise and actually bends inward when pressed, which I know is
not how it is supposed to function. Thanks for your help, but I think I may be limited in options to the point that a physical repair or an entirely new xbox may be my only course of action. Thanks again for your timely reply.

 

Sorry to hear that bro. A repair can be pretty pricey, but with a wave of deals coming in the next few weeks it could be a perfect excuse to upgrade!

 

Thank you.

I actually learned something usefull that i can use in the future.

 

Yea I'd be lying if I said I haven't had my eye on some of the Black Friday deals coming out
