Xbox One S: Why Isn't My Xbox One S Working?

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 13:24:39 -0700

My Xbox One S Is Giving Me No Signal On My TV. But The Light Won't Turn On Unless I Press The Eject Button, It Will Run For Maybe 5 Or 10 Minutes Without Picture, Then Power Down. Neither The Power Or Sync Buttons Will Work.

Does Anyone Have Any Clue What's Wrong With It? I'm Thinking About Replacing The HDD Drive And Internet Power Source. Also I Don't Have A Brick Power Cable I've Got Just The Basic Plain Cable If That Helps Any.

Xbox One S: Why is my TV displaying no signal?

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 11:54:03 -0700

I bought a white Xbox one S used the person I bought it from said it worked fine and I saw it running with my own eyes. When I brought it home and plugged it in it turned on started in a timely fashion ran well but my screen was covered in artifacts and the display was too small to fill the screen. So I went to my settings and changed the resolution from 480p to 1080p and it immediately displayed no signal on my TV. I waited about 30 minutes and then tried hard resetting my xbox. Still no display, I changed HDMI cords to one that worked on my old xbox 1 and used all three different ports in my TV, it is in the port that goes to the TV and I flipped the cord around ETC. I tried starting it up in low resolution mode this did not work. The screen is not black my TV says no signal. My xbox seems to be working fine turns on and off normally. Please help I just bought this yesterday

Xbox One S: Xbox One S Constantly Freezes in game and Home screen.

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 09:28:59 -0700

I have had my Xbox one s for almost 2 years now, and just recently it has begun to act up. Whenever I play any game, it will always glitch out and freeze. For example, in forza 6, some images will stop appearing when building a car and then the game will freeze if I do anything after that. When I got to the menu to quit the game, I can scroll to the game, but when I click game options with the menu button, the whole console freezes. The same also happens when I press the home option from menu. I hard ressart the console and it never gets fixed. I also did a factory reset on it, but now it is stuck on the preparing console page at 58%. I should also note that even when it is completely off but still plugged in, I hear a little buzzing noise from the console. I don’t think it is fan because I can still feel airflow from the fan. Does anyone know what is going on?

XBOX One S Military Green: My Xbox plays some DVDs and Blu-rays but not all of them. Why?

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 18:15:12 -0700

My Xbox plays some discs and not others even when they're brand new out of the box. At times it will play a dvd but then sometimes not play it.

It also has an issue with inserting and ejecting the discs all the way which requires me softly pushing it in or pulling it out to function properly. Could this be part of the issue?

XBOX One S Military Green: Stange power problem between swapping outlets

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 18:10:49 -0700

When swapping outlets, the Xbox needs time with power to turn on. Instantly on and off until it decides to fully turn on typically 5-15 minutes.

Its the first one or two times then never have the problem until I swap plugs again. This is how I received the console.

Its any outlet, and a new Xbox powercord

Thanks

XBOX One S Military Green: Need STL files for Xbox One S upper case clips & standoffs @3Dprinting

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 07:54:50 -0700

Hi everyone,

I’m repairing an Xbox One S military green (battlefeild 1 combo) and the upper shell clips and standoffs are broken or missing. I’ve tried gluing them back with superglue, but they don’t hold, and im pretty sure i just made a small hole in the shell. At this point I just need to 3D print replacement parts.

Does anyone have STL files for the Xbox One S top-case internal clips or standoffs, or a model that can be adapted? I’m planning to send the parts to a local 3D-printing shop.

If you have files, measurements, or a link to a reliable model, please share.

I can provide photos and dimensions from my case if needed.

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: i modeled the clips and standoffs, DM me to download
