So I bought this Xbox one s just a few days ago. The seller didn't know if it was working or not, because he didn't have a power cable, and I decided to buy it because even if it didn't work I would post a YouTube video about my experience, but that's beside the point. I'm using a power cable that I use on another device, but it so happened to fit with the Xbox, and when I turn on the Xbox with everything plugged in this is what occurs. Watch video for more clarity. This is an issue other people are facing, but their situations don't really match mine. The thing is that I hear a click which I kind of think it could be a hard drive problem? Could it be a problem with the power cord I'm using. I've bought a power cable that works with Xbox One S on amazon just incase there could be a problem with the power cable I'm using maybe not enough power is getting to the Xbox? Please let me know what you guys think could be the problem. Thank you!

could be the power cable, since you have one on the way, i would wait to test with that. afaik, it will boot up with a bad drive, at least all the ones i have worked on do, it just will give you an error screen. if it still has an issue with the new cable, issue might be the internal power supply, or a short somewhere.

in my experience, 9.9 out of 10 times, they know, they just want more money for their item.
