    I have tried most of that it was working fine for weeks now when you hold the button on the controller the Xbox won’t turn on at all so you have to get up and turn it on manually by the button on the console when doing so it lights up makes them toys but will not boot up at all I have noticed that’s when I push the Xbox button on the console to turn it on there seems to be quite a lot of heat coming out of the top instantly The console is set to eco-mode not instant on

    Hello rahstar2008, I hope everything is going well!

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support!

    Please check the following points:

    • Confirm that both your TV and console are turned on
    • Check that your TV is set to the correct input signal (HDMI)
    • Check that the HDMI cable connections to your console and to your TV are secure
    • Check that the HDMI cable is connected to the "out to TV" port on the console
    • Try plugging the HDMI cable into a different HDMI port on your TV
    • Try using a different HDMI cable to connect your console to your TV
    • Try connecting your console to a different TV
    • Power cycle your console: Press and hold the Xbox button for 10 seconds to turn off the console, and then turn it on again

    If the issue persists, try resetting your display settings

    1. If there's a disc in the console, eject it.
    2. On the console, press and hold the Xbox button for 10 seconds to turn off the console.
    3. Press and hold the Xbox button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You’ll hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. Don’t let go until you hear the second beep or see the console start up in low resolution mode (the Xbox startup screen will appear slightly pixelated).
      • Note If you have an Xbox Series S or Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, you’ll need to press and hold the Xbox button and the Pair button instead, as your console does not have an Eject button.
    4. In either case, this will start up your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480). To change this setting, press the Xbox button to open the guide. Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > TV & display options, and then select the resolution you want from the Display dropdown.
    5. If you’re required to complete these steps on every startup, you’ll want to change your TV connection to HDMI as shown in step 3 of the next section, "Your screen is blank and you use an AVR in your setup." For more info, see How to adjust the display settings on your Xbox.

    I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out!

    Kind Regards

    Stay safe, and happy gaming!

    Xbox series x light on but nothing happening?

    sounds like a power fault somewhere , i would hold down the power button for 10 - 15 seconds to fully power down the console, unplug the device then hold the button again for another 10-15 seconds to completely discharge the console.

    Then ensure that your console is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector or extension and try booting the console again.

    If this continues try with another HDMI cable as sometimes this can cause issue.

    if neither of these work then i would head over to xbox.com/support and request a repair once trouble shooting steps have been completed
