How to Fix “Xbox One Won’t Turn on but Beeps”
To fix this booting issue, you may have to try multiple solutions before you try the one that fixes the problem. We have included all the tested solutions that usually work in this case. If none of these solutions works for you, we have also mentioned what could be the reason your Xbox One is not turning on even after trying everything. By reading all the reasons, you may find out what’s causing the issue and fix it.
Solution 1: Press the Eject Button Repeatedly
This solution works in most cases. Press the eject button 10-15 times in a row, and the Xbox one may boot normally. If it does not work, you can try doing it 1-2 times more, and it may work.
Solution 2: Insert a Disc in the Disc Drive of the Xbox One
This solution works if you don’t have any disc on the disc drive of the console. When the console is off, insert a small part of the disc inside the drive, press the power button, and wait for the beep. Once you hear the beep, try to push the disc inside gently, and the console will accept the disk, and it may turn on.
Solution 3: Reset the Internal Power Supply
- Unplug the console’s power cord.
- Wait for 10 – 15 seconds.
- Plug in the cord and press the power button.
Solution 4: Power Cycle your Xbox
Power cycling resets and puts the console into standby mode. When the Xbox is off, hold the Xbox button for 10 seconds, the power brick will start flashing orange light, then white for a second, and then orange again. You can also power cycle your Xbox and then reset the power supply. (This will not remove your apps and games.)
Solution 5: Remove the USB Devices and the External HDD
- Unplug the external HDD and all the USB devices when the console is off.
- Press the power button and wait for a couple of seconds.
- Once the console boots normally, you can connect the external HDD and USB devices.
Solution 6: Use a Different Power Outlet
If you are using a power strip, connect the console with a separate power outlet and power on the Xbox. A power strip connected with multiple appliances may fail to provide the initial burst of required power.
Solution 7: Press Sync, Eject, and Power Buttons Simultaneously
This one is a bit complicated, and you might not be able to do it correctly in one try. Please read the detailed steps below and watch the attached video to figure out how it’s done.
Step 1: Hold sync, eject, and power buttons for 10 seconds.
Step 2: After 10 seconds, release the eject button and wait for 15 seconds.
Step 3: After 15 seconds, release all the buttons.
Step 4: Hold the power button and long-press the sync button, if it does not boot up, press the sync button couple of times while holding the power button.
Why Does Your Xbox One Beeps but Won’t Turn on?
