Xbox 360 does not seem to have any power when switched on

Hi Eddie,
Try with different USB ports if you are using old XBOX and getting message as " insufficient power". It seems to be a adapter issue why don't you visit store and exchange the XBOX 360 Kinect device.

Thank you for using Fixya.

Some of us suddenly when we turn on our Xbox 360 console one day we got one red light flashes on the ROL (Ring of Light) around the Xbox 360 power button, and we got an Error message appearing on the TV screen "System error" also might occur with any error code like E66, E67, E68, E71, E74 or E77, all the same.

When you get any of these messages appearing on your screen with one red light flashing on the ROL of your Xbox 360 console that's an indicator of a hardware problem with the console connection to one of the parts connected to it as the hard drive or cables.

So, first disconnect all power and AV cables from the back of your Xbox 360 console and also unplug the power cord from the wall socket, wait for a minute then reconnect them all back and try to turn on your Xbox 360 console once more.

If that doesn't work, it seems then to be a fault with your Xbox 360 hard drive so turn off the console again and remove the hard drive then turn on your Xbox 360 console without the hard drive, supposed then to work fine, it might be an intermittent issue and when you reconnect the hard drive your Xbox 360 will work fine all after, or it will just work fine without the hard drive so it will be then definitely a fault with your Xbox 360 hard drive so call Xbox 360 customer support to exchange the hard drive for you.

The Xbox 360 console might even keep giving you the same error code even after you remove the hard drive so it will then appear to be a fault with your Xbox 360 console not the hard drive & also in a case like this we need to contact Xbox 360 customer support to exchange the console.

try unpluging the power cable from the xbox and the wall then take off your harddrive for 30 secs reattach everything hold down the sync button on the xbox and while holding that down press the power button, release the sync button after 30secs or until you boot up to the avatar, if this dont work check what colour light is on your power brick when you press the power button on? hope this helps?

Switch them off and then on in the following order:
modem, router, computer. Make sure adapter is switched on!

the switch on the hdmi cable may have been switched to hd (if your on a non-hd tv) or onto tv (if you are on a hdtv) try switching it back, that might be it...

Is your power supply getting power (ie. is the light yellow). When you hit the switch on the (XBOX), does the power supply turn light turn green? If not, the XBOX is not recognizing the switch or the power supply is bad.. If it is, then you may want to recheck your red rings fix. The parts you've installed may have come loose and shorted something out.

If your trying to turn the XBOX on with a joystick, you may have to resync them. Try using the XBOX switch on. If it turns on with the XBOX switch and not the joysticks, it could be the wireless component in the XBOX or the joystick batteries.


**NOTE: I am saying XBOX but I mean the 360.

no picture mode not supported

are you using and hd cord if so check your plugs make sure you are in the right slots then if hd cords there is a switch on the plug in to the xbox that needs to be switched to the hd setting

if your xbox 360 is one of the older ones or the first released xboxes then it could be the start of the 3rrod problem this type of error can occur when the motherboard starts warping and the solder joints are broken which can cause similar problems such as this. i would also try getting the very latest game you can and doing an update to see if this helps. you may also be able to download the update from www.xbox.com. burn the update to a dvd and then place the dvd inside your 360 and when asked if you want to update select yes and see if this helps.

he should first switch his xbox 360 before his uncle check the electricity power source in the house.
