[@carlblackburn564]

This happened to mine a few weeks ago and am sure there was an update to console and it hasn’t worked since. Light comes on and the fan spins a little then stops . No signal to tv . Edit: just registered my Xbox sx with Microsoft . There you will see if your still in warranty and everything thing is free for repairs. Down side is that if they replace item it’s with a refurbished console. Which I personally find disappointing. As long as it works I don’t suppose it matters .

[@RobinB360]

@@carlblackburn564 That is sad to hear. Did you see an error message during the update? I can also imagine you would like your own Xbox back or a new one, instead of a refurbished one. Hopefully everything gets resolved for you soon.

[@stevesgaming7475]

Mine died yesterday. tried all the steps here, also tried changing the fuse in the power cable but nope. Sadly it's out of warranty and Microsoft want £254.10 to repair it. I barely use it and I'm not paying that much so sadly my 14 month old Series X will be tossed in the garbage and I'll ebay all my games. But I'm so disappointed, I've not used it a lot and it's in mint condition. I'll not buy another Xbox that's for sure. :(

[@stevesgaming7475]

@@RobinB360 Yeah, I'll admit that's sort of dulled my love of them. Local repair shop won't fix it either as they only replace laser/dvd drive and hdmi ports. but I can see Series X's selling 'for parts' on ebay for around £200 so I'm going to do that and get something back.

Thank you for your patience, I was on my annual vacation. It’s not mandatory, to do these steps, but I see what you mean. You should just be able to enjoy your Xbox as it was intended. But in case you run into an issue, maybe it can give you an easy fix to get you back into gaming quickly.

Strange situation I’m attempting to fix myself but thought I’d post it, my partner and I have 6 month old Xbox’s, both X and S respectively, one night both of our Xbox’s wouldn’t turn on, other devices are all on on the same outlets, both wires have been swapped and tested on different outlets, I’m now heading out to buy new 5amp fuses to see if I can’t replace them as the common denominator in both these situations are the wires, perhaps they blew out and due to the fact they’re both 5a it could be the weaker amp fuses that burst on a minor power outage over night

Seems like it, but could also be the power cable port. If you still have warranty on your Xbox, I have a link for you in the description so you can have it checked out.

Mine wont turn on but i can charge my phone through the usb port on the front and back so that means power is getting to the console just not turning on, wont turn on with a controller or remote play, very upsetting, never had a console break on me, playing it one day then wont turn on the next.

I came home from work and it just doesn’t want to turn on, it makes no noise or any sign of life and I did everything to try to fix it it just doesn’t work. And it’s out of warranty I’ve have it I think for a year or so

[@RobinB360]

That is unfortunate.. does it have enough ventilation room? Also have you tried cleaning it? You could try that, but before you do, you can contact Microsoft to see if they could still repair it within warranty, even though it’s older than a year. Sometimes you can have some luck if it is just a little bit outside of the warranty periode. Best of luck! 🤞
