Xbox Series X Keeps flashing

Hi Jenny W, my name is Daniel. I am an independent advisor who is willing to help you.

For me, it is an honor to write to you and try to help you in any way possible, for my part I will do my best to try to solve any questions/problems you are presenting.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having this problem, from what I understand this flashing light won't let you connect your controller, is that correct? With the intention of helping you, I suggest you follow these steps:

1. Make sure both the controller and console are updated with the latest software version.
2. Try connecting the controller to the console using a USB cable to see if that solves the problem.
3. Try resetting the controller to default settings in the console. You can do this by going to Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories > select the controller and then choose Reset to defaults.
4. If you have access to another driver, try using it to see if the problem persists. This will help determine if the problem is with the controller or the console.

If none of this works, check if your console has an active warranty. To do this, you must enter the following link:

Warranty: https://account.microsoft.com/devices

If you want more information on how to send or request a repair, you can take a look at the following link:

Note: The idea is to try to solve the problem, repair is as a last option in case we cannot solve the problem, but it is necessary to know if your console has a warranty.

Best regards,
Daniel.

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.

Xbox series x I have tried restarting my console.When launching the game it doesn't give any prompt just a flash as if it's about to launch.

"Xbox power button begins flashing rapidly and Wi-Fi and all attached devices disconnect"

This sounds like the OS update step between Verifying and Applying a System update.

If its a Xbox 1 X or earlier this flashing will last about 12 -15 times and then the console will restart and Apply the update.

If the console is a Series X/S the flashing lasts about 5 times before it Applies the update.

Hello, Thank you for posting on Microsoft forum i would suggest to keep checking availability and stock on the Microsoft page as i have spoke to person who have bought their Xbox series x yesterday and they kept checking.
