Xbox Series X beeps and turns off immediately after pressing power button

TylerMWise · Jul 14, 2022

Hi there,

My new Xbox Series X has just arrived, when I turn it on, it gives me the startup beep and then turns off immediately. I have pressed the disk eject button and that makes a noise when the light is out, but it won't work. I tried using a different cable and no luck, I moved it from an extension lead to the mains and that also won't work.

I did get the Xbox Series X refurbished version if that helps?

Can anyone please help me please...

It's a short beep, however, I am not able to sync the controller without the console being on.

I tried changing the position as you mentioned as well, but didn't work.

Hi Pam,

Thanks for helping, I tried doing the SYNC and EJECT way, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. I have also tried changing the outlet, I also used my Xbox 1 cable, but no luck… I also tried using the Series X cable on my Xbox 1, and it works, so I am wondering if it's the console, like you mentioned?

Is it a LOUD beep or a short one ?.

If short then you need to sync the controller

But if it's loud one change the position of the console

Make sure it's not on carpet and has room I have mine sitting sideways with both vents unblocked it's on a hanging shelf.with nothing beside it

You MUST.HAVE 2' of clearance on either side

(Bottom is the intake with the top venting thr heat)

Yes, I'm afraid it is really the console.

I'm afraid your console needs repair. This link contains instructions on how to send the console to Microsoft.
