Fixing an XBOX ONE that won't power on (Makes noise but no light) (Easy fix)

[@XenithLive]

Thanks to some of the comments i've received here's some fixes in case the method used in the video doesn't work for you: Try a different power supply. If you have an external storage device (like a usb stick or HDD), disconnect it and try turning the console on. Unplug it completely and leave it off for a while.

[@phyzqz]

Thank you it worked

But I already had a disk in

[@tylerdurdeniii4476]

Hey was that an xbox 360 game or did it have to be backwards compatible? Like are most 360 games compatible? I'm having the same problem and have a ton of 360 games but nothing seems to be happening the game just pushes in manually would a xbox one game work? I'd really appreciate the help if you can provide any at all

[@XenithLive]

@@tylerdurdeniii4476 My theory is that it just has to be a disc, in the situation my console was in, it did not care what the disc was, as long as it was disc shaped, it should have brought it back to life, but your milage my vary.

Thanks so much for posting this video. I thought my box was dead 💀💀💀 You're truely a life saver 🤩

[@josephbarrientos9299]

Thought the Xbox was dead and would have to wait until I could get a new one and there not cranking them out like everyone was hoping. Once I unplugged the power source and plugged it back in, it worked like a charm. Thx so much.

[@jamesthompson5086]

I got really excited when I came across this video today. Same issue as you. Took to a place to fix last week but they had no clue. Got it back today. Had to manually remove disk in disk drive by putting paper clip in hole on left side of xbox. Putting disk back in like on video didn't work...I tried like 20 times. I went to Gamestop as a last ditch effort to hook another power supply to it and it went right on. $50 power supply beats buying a brand new xbox...Thanks for the video!

The power supply’s are cheaper on amazon you basically got scammed lmao
