I got a bit of a situation here. I have a Xbox 360 Jasper (Almost a new one). A while back i played the 360 for One and a half hour and then i turned it off. I checked the side of the 360 and it was quite hot. Then my brother came and turned it back on after 15 mins which i know he shouldn't have done until the 360 cooled down. But when he pressed the power button it turned green for just a split second and then off again. I tried it several times even after the 360 had cooled down after half an hour or so and it again turns on (Shows the green power light) for a split second and then turns off. It doesn't show any of the red lights or so. I checked all the cable's. I reconnected them again aswell but nothing of this is helping me. I keep my console vertical so i even tried to turn it on while keeping it horizontal but still no luck. =/
So could someone please help me out. The Jasper cant die on me like this. =(

Edit: The fans dont even start up.

Did you update your xbox360 to the latest update? Also did you format your USB using the xbox360?

Make sure the USB is more than 1gb. Put the USB into the xbox, go to system config and select memory the USB should show up select it and it would ask you to format it.

Firstly.. you have to format your usb when you connect it to the xbox 360.. it configures it..
Secondly.. The main purpose of installing games is to make gameplay stable and decrease loading times..

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
