Xbox One turns on but console power light does not light up indicating it's turned on.

Is Anyone else having this issue??? I'm super confused by it, it seemed to start happening after the last update and I've already tried a hard reboot a few times to see if that did the trick but nothing yet.

Xbox turns on but doesn't load up on tv.

It didn't work for some reason the Xbox front light turns on but I hear no fans or anything starting up in the console is basically seems if it's turned off but the light still on. After I turn it on the only way for the light to turn off is to unplug the
power brick. I thought it was the power brick but I have tried different ones from other Xbox ones.

Xbox turns on but nothing else

I turned on my Xbox One last night and the power light came on as normal and it made some noise, but nothing else. I had to hard turn it off by holding the power button on the console for 5-8 seconds. I can turn it on with the controller as well, but nothing.
The controller light will blink a few seconds and then it's light will go off, but the console Xbox light remains on. Nothing ever appears on the screen.

I have unplugged power from wall and console, I have held eject and power to turn on, and about anything else I could find online to help. I have also tried a different HDMI cable and even connected to a different TV, but no luck.

Again, the main power button light on the console turns on, the power brick light changes from orange to white as expected, but nothing else. No display and controllers will not connect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Andrew,

Regarding your concern, the first thing to check is your power bricks LED indicator, does it turn off or changes color once you press the power button on your console?

Second, is to check your Xbox's LED indicator, does it show any light while plugged into the power brick?

If your power brick has lights as well as your console, watch what color it turns into, if it turns to white and fades there could be something wrong with your Power Supply Unit internally.

If the light on your console changes to orange, you may try doing a factory reset.

If there are no lights at all on the console, it's definitely the PSU or the internal power supply of your console and it may need replacement.

You see, if my power supply is not plugged into anything the led light won’t turn on because it isn’t receiving power. When I plug it in to the outlet the led light turns on to a yellowish orange. But the problem is the led light turns off when the power supply is plugged into the Xbox. And I have done a different cable and same problem. Also I tried a different power supply and it also did the same thing. I did this with another Xbox on both cables and both power supplies and the same thing happened. This has happened before but it suddenly started working again but with another power outage, it stopped working.

Is the Xbox turning on? Or is it not powering up at all? I myself have an Elite, and I've never heard the chirping sound, but from your post, I can't tell if the Xbox is actually powering up. If the Xbox turns on, check the light on the power supply and
it should be green. When the Xbox is powered down, the power supply light should be yellow. If the power supply light is red, then that would indicate a bad power supply.
