How to fix Xbox one turn off after few seconds :

Fix 1:Clean the Fan area of xbox



The Xbox turning off in few seconds can be due to heating up issue and not able to cool properly. To fix that blow dryer on max heat and put it over the fan area for about couple of minutes and then try turning on the Xbox. It may work fine now.

Fix 2: Reset the xbox
1.    Press and hold the BIND button (located on the left side of the console) and the EJECTbutton (located on the front of the console), and then press the Xbox  button on the console.
2.   Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
3.   Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart

Fix 3 : Reset your internal power supply
To reset the internal power supply, follow these steps:


-       Unplug the power cord from the console.
-       Wait 10 seconds.
-       Plug the cord back into the console, and then press the Xbox button on the front of the console.
-       or perhaps your power supply is clogged and overheating


Fix 4 : Check power outlet and powder cord
The other reasons can be that the  power outlet can be bad or cable is not connected properly. Try plugging the supply directly into a different outlet or different power cord(to avoid chances if defected pin).

tbh I've done everything and it didn't work I think to fix it is buy a hair dryer that gives off cold air instead of hot and use the hair dryer on all 3 of the vents of the Xbox so it won't over heat

They didn't work but I think that you've have to buy a hair dryer that gives cold air and blow it in all of the vents because hot air is bad and might make it worser and overheat ur Xbox and it makes ur Xbox cooler it might work.

I had this issue NOTHING worked. (Not overheating). Turns out the HDMI cable was a bit bent on one end. It would short out the Xbox as soon as I plugged it in. If your Xbox shuts off almost right away, could be a bad HDMI cable as well.

I just turned on my console but after about 3 months and its turning on and off instantly. I have tried a spare power lead and blown out the power box. No idea why all of a sudden?

Mine is exactly same problem. Didn’t use it for 6 months for construction. Now it turns on and off 10 seconds later. Even with everything unplugged. Took it apart. Cleaned the little bit of dirt out. Still doesn’t work. Won’t let me do a reset with usb. Ordered power supply
