Xbox One power light flashing rapidly

Stormtrooperdeez · Jun 30, 2020

So my xbox just started doing this a few days ago while im playing a game, youtube or whatever the power button flashes rapidly and maybe 3 clicks here and there. No vaping/smoking inside the house, its on the top of tv stand with plenty of air flow. Ive
tried plugging into the wall and it doesnt help, I completely unplugged the xbox today before leaving for work to give it a “break” and still flashes. Any help would be great.

Hi Stormtrooperdeez,

Thanks for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with your Xbox One power not working properly. To troubleshoot this, please check out this article:

I hope this helps.

If the previous troubleshooting link doesnt help, aside from trying a hard reset, if you can, calling xbox support would be the route i’d go asap in case your warranty period is still active

I'm sorry to hear your having this issue Stormtrooperdeez, By the sound of it you have also done your research on this. I have had this happen with moisture ingress too. It does seem it may need to be looked at to see if there has been any moisture accidently
spilled as my son spilled a small amount of juice in mine and it did the same.

When you see the 2 flashing red lights, hold the sync button on the console and press the eject button. This will give you some rapidly flashing red lights. Make note of how many quadrants are doing this. Repeat this 3 more times to obtain a 4 digit sequence.

Four rapidly flashing quadrants = a numerical 0

Three rapidly flashing quadrants = a numerical 3

Two rapidly flashing quadrants = a numerical 2

One rapidly flashing quadrant = a numerical 1

With the 2 flashing red lights, you will most likely get 0011 (CPU), 0012 (GPU), or 0013 (RAM).
