Xbox series X flashing power button

HerbertGaldamez · Sep 9, 2022

I hope I can finally find the answer to my problem in this community.

I have an Xbox series X which is less than a year since I bought it. Every time I turn my Xbox on the power button starts flashing really fast as if looking to pair with a Bluetooth devise.

I've checked and the console and my controller are paired without any issues. Also there're no updates in the background at all.

This issue is driving me crazy and on top of it I cannot find any similar case on any Microsoft forum or on the internet.

Just to clarify. I'm not referring to the flashing light that shows up when your turning off your Xbox, mine flash very fast for a minute or so randomly while the console is on.

Heat temperatures are OK and I've tried with a different HDMI, plugging it to a different electricity plug and the issue is still happening

The rapid flashing of the power button on the Xbox Series X indicates that there may be an issue with the console's power supply or the internal hardware.

You're welcome and that would be great.

Hi, HerbertGaldamez! thank you for your reply.

In my experience, this kind of problem is usually hardware-related.

• May I ask how long has your console been like this?

• Have you noticed if this also happens when you use the controller to turn your console on?

• Have you already tried doing a soft factory reset?

• Have you already tried power-cycling both your console and your controller? like this:

- Press and hold your controller's Xbox button until it shuts down.

- Remove your controller's batteries and the Micro-USB cable (if plugged in) for a minute or two.

- Press and hold your console's power button until it shuts down.

- Unplug your console's power cord for 5 minutes.

- Plug the power cord back in.

- Turn your console on and check if the issues persist.

Everything works perfect but that flashing light won't stop.

I do not see anything out of the ordinary and I can even play and do all my stuff as always but then again, that flashing light won't stop
