Xbox One X Flashing Light

Yea thanks, I was going to head off and do some other things and leave it completely off and unplugged for a while. Hopefully it will be all good when I come back, if it's still not right I'll say so. Thanks for any help though!

Hi there Red welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan and been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Have you tried leaving your console completely unplugged for 5 minutes?

Okay let's hope it those! If not you could also try this:

The first step in resetting an Xbox One is to open the main menu. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:

Press the home button on your Xbox One controller. This is the illuminated button with a stylized X that is centrally located on the front of the controller near the top.

Alternately, you can press the left bumper until you reach the home tab, and then press left on the d-pad.

Press down on the d-pad until you reach the gear icon.

Press the A button to select the gear icon.

With all settings highlighted, press the A button again to open the settings menu.

Press down on the d-pad until you reach System.

Press the A button to open the ​System submenu.

With console info highlighted, press the A button again.

Press down on the d-pad to select reset console.

Press the A button to select this option and move to the final step.

Press left on the d-pad to select Reset and keep my games & apps. Then press the A button. This is the less thorough of the two options, as it only resets the Xbox One firmware and settings without touching your games and apps. Try this first, as it allows you to avoid downloading everything all over again.

Hey there LONGINPCFL!

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your console. Let's see what we can do to get things sorted for you.

I have some questions for you that will help us better understand the situation:

1. What style of Xbox 360 console do you have?
2. How long has it been having the issue you're describing?
3. When did you replace the power supply? Before or after the issue started?
4. When the console is on and running, does it behave normally (aside from the 480p resolution)?
   
5. The console turns itself on and off even when no one is touching it or any controllers?
   
6. How many lights are flashing on your console?
7. Which lights are flashing on your console?
8. What color are the lights that are flashing on your console?
9. What color is the light on your power supply?

Also, here's four different guides on flashing lights. Since I'm not sure what console you have and what lights are flashing, I'm going to link them all. Let us know if any of these apply to your situation:
