xbox rapidly turns on and off for a few seconds and then shuts off

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Liminalwolf, besides having disconnected the control completely, have you tried plugging it into another electrical outlet and another TV if possible, or even test it on another outlet but without being plugged into a TV just to see if the console stays on?

If you have already done this, the ideal thing is to send your console to microsoft warranty because it seems to have some electrical problem.

You access the site above and register a new device using the serial number. you find behind your console.

Then in MORE DETAILS, look to request repair, Start Online Service.

To mail it to Microsoft.

Do a power cycle turn off the xbox holding the button for 30 seconds then after it shut off wait a few minutes then turn it on, it should stop the game from freezing

yes. i just shut my xbox off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on. problem solved for me.

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you are having issue with console not turning on. I suggest the guide for
console not powering on. If it still will not turn on, you can go to
device support. Here you can register console, check warranty status, and set up a repair. Try all the steps and let us
know.



Thanks,

Brad

Hi, since it didn't work even with the reset, my advice is to try contacting xbox customer service.
