    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Xbox not turning on.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Please power cycle the console by unplugging the power cord from the Xbox and the wall outlet. Wait for about 30 seconds to a minute, then plug it back in and try turning it on.

    And then plug directly into a wall outlet. Kindly avoid using power strips or surge protectors, as they can sometimes cause issues. Plug the Xbox directly into a wall outlet.

    It is also important that the console is in a well-ventilated area because overheating can cause the Xbox to shut down immediately after powering on.

    Then kindly plug the Xbox into a different wall outlet. Because the issue could be with the outlet itself. Test the Xbox on a different outlet.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Game DVR Clips have no sound or are out of Sync

    I don't know if its related but if i unplug the xbox power brick and let the amber light go off then plug it back in the amber light comes on for a second then it goes white to signal the xbox is on, and the xbox does come on there is no light on the xbox
    but i can hear its fan spinning, it stays on for a few seconds then turns back off and the power brick goes back to amber, I'm only curious if this is related because this is something else that didn't always happen and may have also stared in the summer plus
    since not unplugging it the sound has always recorded.

    "Xbox Broadcast" - How To Use?

    I unsnap the twitch app and close it. After that I find that you cannot use any apps in snap mode, the twitch app no longer will open and when you try to turn the xbox off the screen goes off but the Xbox doesn't turn off you just see the lights stay on.

    Xbox Light on

    Yeah, the white light on my brick stays on. Usually when I tell it "Xbox off" everything goes out except the power brick. That's how it was last night before i went to bed. Came in this morning to find the xbox console light on, not Kinect though.
