Xbox one x Power issue

Knegr0damus · Dec 4, 2017

My Xbox One x Scorpio addition will not power off using the front power button. I can shut it down using the controller but the button will only power the dvr on. Is this something I should be worried about?

Two Xbox Ones

I have two Xbox consoles in my living room. An Xbox one X and a regular Xbox one. If the Xbox One is turned on and then I turn on the Xbox One X it will power off the other console. Any ideas on what to check to resolve this issue?

Power Cable xbox one x (scorpion)

Hi

I think the Xbox One X uses a figure 8 power cable if you carry out an internet search you should have no issue finding one.

Hi

Firstly if you press and hold the power button on the front of console for 10 seconds does it switch off? Also when the console is shut down does pressing the button on the front of it cause the console to switch on?

If it does not switch on when pressing the button please try removing the power cable from the wall outlet for two minutes to see if this helps.

An update. I have plugged the console into the mains and can confirm at this moment the console is working correctly

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Anni, i'm sorry for what's happening to your console, usually in these cases it's the xbox's internal power source.

Since you've tried all the electrical procedures, it means something's been damaged at the source.

In such cases Microsoft usually has the repair service paid for in these situations, you can also resort to some technical assistance from Games to see if they can resolve the electrical issue.

I have been noticing the same issue as Part C. in Belerephont's post above. Currently running experiment to see if leaving the Xbox One X. on all day will effect game-play this evening.

After running my Xbox One X. for 12 hours with no activity in use, I have found no extreme heat changes. I will be leaving it on however to see if there is anything different overnight. With the addition of about 4 hours game-play to boot. If I DO NOT see
any changes still... I will have to guess that its a software issue for the Instant-On feature within the system's OS.

Thanks for the reply. I have followed the guide and I keep having to do the removal of the cable each time I use it. It is plugged into a strip because there is no access to a mains socket

Thank you

Thanks for trying those steps and for the update on that. We do recommend keeping your Xbox One console connected to a wall outlet rather than an external power strip whenever possible for best results. That is likely why you're finding that you need to
complete a full
power cycle after you power down your console and power it on again.

Something that may help is switching to
Energy-Saving power mode if you're currently using Instant-On power mode.
