What do you do when your Xbox One won’t turn on and the power supply has a solid orange light?
When your Xbox One won't turn on and the power supply has a solid orange light, it indicates that the console is not receiving sufficient power. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
Steps to Fix Xbox One with Solid Orange Light
1. Power Supply Reset:
Unplug the power supply from both the wall outlet and the Xbox One console.
Wait for at least 10 seconds.
Reconnect the power supply to the wall outlet first, then connect it back to the console. Try turning on the console again
2. Check Power Connections:
Ensure that all connections are secure. Check that the power cable is firmly connected to both the power supply and the console, as loose connections can cause issues
3. Inspect Power Supply:
Look for any visible damage on the power supply and its cables. If there are signs of wear or damage, consider replacing it
If possible, test the power supply with another Xbox One console to confirm whether it is functioning correctly
4. Clean the Power Supply:
Dust and debris can affect the performance of your power supply. Ensure it is clean and free from obstructions that might cause overheating
5. Hard Reset the Console:
Press and hold the power button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it turns off completely.
Wait a few seconds, then press the power button again to turn it back on
6. Test Different Outlets:
Plug the power supply into a different wall outlet directly, avoiding surge protectors or extension cords, which may not provide adequate power
If after following these steps your Xbox One still does not turn on and continues to show a solid orange light, it may indicate a failure in the power supply itself or an issue within the console that would require professional repair or replacement
