  1. XBOX One powers on for 1 second, then turns off.


    I tried to troubleshoot it by unplugging the power supply like Microsoft recommends but it didn't work. My power supply has a solid orange light that turns white for a second when I hit the power button but goes back to orange when the console turns off.
    I tried plugging it into the wall instead of into my surge protector but I get the same results. Do I have to buy a new power supply after one year? Or is it an issue with the console itself?

    :)

    Xbox turns on for 1 second then immediately turns off.

    I just had this problem... Power brick solid orange LED, won't turn on by controller, manually turns off but shuts down in 1 second. I tried everything on the support page to do it myself, still didn't work. I called support and they just tried to get me
    to do everything i just tried on the support page. I literally tried everything about ten times and still nothing worked. I was about to buy a new power brick but i figured i should try everything again.

    The ONE thing that finally worked was hard resetting the xbox. Within the second from turning it on, I held the power again to reset it and it worked. I tried this ten times before and it didn't work until that last time. I suggest anyone who has this problem
    to try over and over to reset it this way until they get it to work. The timing has to be so precise for you only have such a small window of opportunity to get it to work, I'm saying it is
    VERY PRECISE on timing. Just keep trying until you get it, this was the only way I was able to get mine to work.

    Also if this works and the same issue comes up a couple days later, make sure to change your power and startup settings to energy-saving mode.

    Sounds like the power supply brick is out. It could have been damaged by having it on the surge suppressor. Try another one, and if that still fails, it might be the console itself.

    Is there a disc in the drive? If so see if you can eject it manually then test your console. Good Luck!

    Are you plugged into a power strip. If so, keep in mind the Xbox One power supply has a built in surge protector and must be plugged directly into the wall. Plugging it in to a power strip can actually under power the system and cause the issue you are
    having.

    The above post is wrong , a power strip WILL NOT "under power " your xbox , but a "surge protector " is not needed as the psu has one built in...

    If you have tested it with a different power supply with the same results chances are it is time for a repair. You can schedule a repair here http://support.xbox.com/
