Xbox One S: Why is my Xbox one s turning off after turning it on

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 09:08:06 -0700

So when I turn on my Xbox then about 4-7 seconds it turn off? I’m think it’s something with the motherboard or the power supply this started about a week ago and had my Xbox over a year now.

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: 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?

Xbox One S: How do I fit a replacement fan?

Fri, 03 Nov 2017 05:44:10 -0700

Hi,

My unit has the widespread 'fan buzz' issue and I want to replace the stock fan with a quiet Corsair model. My question is - how do I fit a new fan into the system? The stock model is designed to fit precisely over the top of the heat sink.

I've read stories of people successfully replacing the fan, so I imagine that it is possible. Would the new fan simply be 'loose'?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Andy

Xbox One S: Xbox one S sizzling power noise

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 23:56:32 -0700

Hi Guys,

I have just bought a new Xbox one s and I realized, that when the machine is turned off, it has a sizzling noise probably from the internal adapter. I have tried with different cable and different sockets and still the same. I took it back to the shop where I bought it and we could not hear anything as the shop is noisy and the noise from the xbox is quite low, but am still worried there will be some problem with it. The guy told me I have to try to connect the xbox to an extension cable, rather than to socket. I just got home and tried, but still the same noise. Does anyone know what the problem is or any solution for that?

Thanks for the answers

So I bought this console on ebay and it ended up being console banned, stupid me. What parts of the console are actually banned? I assume it would be the motherboard or network card since those are the main things that identify the console but I could be wrong. Any details would be great:)
