If your Xbox One won’t turn on or randomly shuts off, a faulty power supply could be the culprit. Whether your console is completely dead, displaying an orange light that won’t turn white, or overheating, power issues can be frustrating—but they’re often fixable. Let’s break down common Xbox One power supply problems and what can be done to get your console running again.
Common Signs of a Faulty Xbox One Power Supply
- The console won’t turn on at all.
- The power brick light stays orange and never turns white.
- The power supply makes a buzzing or clicking noise.
- The Xbox turns off randomly during use.
- The console briefly powers on, then shuts down immediately.
What Causes Xbox One Power Supply Issues?
There are several reasons why your Xbox One’s power supply might be acting up. Overheating is a common problem, especially if the power brick is covered or in a poorly ventilated area. Power surges and electrical fluctuations can also cause damage over time. Sometimes, internal components within the power brick fail, leading to issues with voltage regulation. In rare cases, the console itself may be drawing too much or too little power, requiring further repairs.
