Xbox turns on and then immediately off

GVThockey8 · Mar 1, 2015

Hello everyone, I've had an issue with my Xbox for the past few weeks where it immediately shuts off upon start up, with the light on the power brick turning red. I purchased a new power brick, which did not solve the problem. I have also tried plugging
it into several different outlets. The same issue persists, despite attempting all common solutions. Does anyone else know why my Xbox may not be working?

:)

10 months into ownership of Xbox One and it self destructs in form and fashion as the 360. Whatta piece of junk.

To sort this out you should apply the offline update through usb during the boot up sequence:

Hello.

It's normal my Xbox 360 does not turn off immediately, unplug your ethernet cable and Xbox 360 will turn off immediately

I've had the same problem. Mine started a few weeks ago. Mine happened around the time of a bad lightning storm, and I had everything plugged into the surge protector, but was useless.

I try to do a hard reset and when I first try turning it on, nothing happens. Then after a few button pushes, I get the light on and it shuts off. Then after a few more, I even get the fan going and then it shuts off. Never get the Xbox screen.

I have also tried all the options and replaced the power cord because some mentioned the 7a cord that came with it originally wasn't enough power. Nothing. I am considering trying to replace the power supply or motherboard, but don't know if its worth spending
$60-80 for a part and then it not work, especially when the new system is out soon.

I was hoping there would be more people on these forums posting this issue, but doesn't seem that way.
