Xbox One: Xbox One turns on then turns off after a few minutes

Sun, 24 Dec 2023 22:14:16 -0700

My Xbox one turns on and I am able to use it for a few minutes, but randomly turns off. I tried playing Destiny and Forza 5, but as soon as the game loads, it shuts off. The last update that it got was the June 2015 update. Sucks, because it broke on the first day of summer vacation. I contacted Microsoft support, but they said I would have to send it in...I want to see if I can fix it before I do that. I have tried to turn it on recently, and when I do there is a system update. I tried to update it, and it starts doing the update. It was almost done but the console shut down on me.

Please Help!

Xbox One: My Xbox One's fan is making this weird noise

Fri, 23 Jul 2021 04:46:32 -0700

Hello iFixit!

This one issue I am having with my machine. It seems my fan is making this whirring noise, but it doesn't sound like it's physically grinding on anything, but something sounds off, some described it as simply a cheap fan making noise, but I am not sure...I know MS support is usually the best way to ask, but they have been unhelpful as I have went through 3 systems with the same exact issue; MS support keeps giveing mixed reponses between "that is normal" and "send it in".

Seeing how you guys are experts in technology, I said why not give it a shot and post this haha.

Anyway, I have found a video with the EXACT noise I am having (and apparently others also) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQaBr_xI...

I would really appreciate ANY input; whether is it normal or not, and should I worry about it, etc.. Thank you so much in advance, and again, I am such a huge fan of you guys!

I tripped over my Xbox One Controller's Play & Charge cable while it was plugged into the controller. The sudden jerk appears to have disconnected the usb connector from the board inside the controller.

If I were to try and fix this, what would it take to accomplish?

Xbox One X: Console is not turning on but has power to USB ports?

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 07:52:36 -0700

So my Xbox One x is not turning on. I'm pretty tech savvy and can't seem to find a problem. It still has power to the USB ports and the controller vibrates when I plug it up. I took a power supply out of a working Xbox One X and it will would not turn on. I tried hitting all the buttons, turning it on with controller and putting a disc in it(didn't take the disc) none of these things turned it on. Anyone ran into this and could give some input? Thanks!

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708: How to remove Broken headphone piece out of controller

Fri, 01 May 2026 08:25:44 -0700

So I was using a pair of gaming headphones and my arm got caught in the wire and pulled away and broke the end of the cable in the controller. So I spent $30 on the gripstick to remove it, but all it did was push it in further. Please help. Are there possible refunds for the GripStick? Also, it wasn’t just the tip that broke off. It was a decent chunk of the headphone jack that is now lodged in even more thanks to the GripStick.

Xbox 360 S: Red dot with no red ring lights

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 10:40:50 -0700

When I turn on my XBox 360 (newer version) the green light in the middle of the circle comes on for about 5 seconds then turns red. There are NO red ring lights around the edge of the silver button, ONLY the red dot in the middle. I took the hard drive out and put it back in, that did nothing. The power supply has a green light. I also tried two other HDMI cables and still nothing. Does anyone know what the red dot without any red ring lights means?

Xbox One S: Console will beep, turn on for a second then immediately shuts off.

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 02:33:52 -0700

An Xbox One S that I got doesn't seem to be working right. First my friend handed it to me because he couldn't eject the disc; i used the paperclip to manually eject it. Then he comes back to me a week later and now the console wont even turn on. I plugged it in properly but when i press the power button it will light up with the usual beep but then immediately shut off. Anyone have an idea what I can do? Would this be a power brick issue or something else?
