Xbox One won't turn on after a power outage

Adaki98 · Mar 7, 2021

Earlier today there was a power outages that lasted about 2 hours. After the power returned, I tried to turn on my xbox, but nothing happened. I tried unplugging the power brick from the console and the wall for over 10 seconds before plugging it all back in, but nothing changed. The power supply light is solid orange and stays on for a minute or so even after being unplugged. My console is old, but was working perfectly fine before this happened. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

My xbox one makes sound but it won't turn on after a power outage

Thanks for the reply! I've tried power cycling and trying other wall outlets, but nothing has worked. The power supply still stays solid orange. I think I'm going to look for a replacement and hopefully that's it, I don't think there's much more I can do as is.

May be fuse blown, was it on before outage??

Ah, these seems like it may be the issue. I'm gonna look for a replacement to see if it was just the power supply, and hopefully not the console itself. Thanks!

The power supply may have defective electrolytic capacitors. This may prevent devices from turning on after a power outage (I've had that happen many years ago with a JVC SVHS video recorder after unplugging it before going on vacation). If possible, try hooking up your console to another power supply to see if it will work and if so then that likely confirms that your original power supply has to be replaced (It's not likely worth repairing given the cost of parts/labour).

Good luck!
