I recently found my old Xbox one and set it up to play. I turned it on, but nothing showed on screen, and it then turned off after a minute. I kept trying and got booted into the "Something Went Wrong" screen. I searched the error code, and it was a corrupt hard drive issue. I reset the hard drive by resetting the hard drive and removed all the apps. After it finished, the console turned off. I turned it back on for a minute and then proceeded to turn itself back off again. I thought it was a hard drive issue, seeing how it had given me the corrupt hard drive error, so I took it apart, switched out the hard drive, and nothing changed. I did change it out with a 320Gb hard drive, and my xbox had a 500Gb hard drive. I'm not sure if that might stop it from turning on though. I just want to know if it really is a hard drive issue, or a mother board issue and it just won't work anymore. Thank you for any help I can get.

I am not 100% sure, but I think you need 500gb minimum, and if you start with a new SSD 500gb, 1000gb or 2000gb there is download called OSU1 that has the Xbox 1 operating system on it (about 6gb). There are a lot of videos out there for instructions to do it-but as I said I am not 100% sure it would fix your issue. Good luck.

I had the exact same problem. It started out with games not working anymore or problems with certain games. Then it would shut down when it wanted to. Then finally you'd turn it on and it would stay on for under a minute then shut back off. After going through testing procedures, I found my power pack was bad. I got a new power pack and it still did the same thing. I had an old 1TB drive so I put it in with the new power pack without doing anything else. The Xbox stayed on. So I bought a new 1TB hard drive and did the partitioning and added the OSU1 files. Good as new. Either the bad power pack fried my hard drive or they both went at the same time. Be aware that if your OS version is from newer, the partitioning for the System Update needs to be increased to 13GB instead of 12GB that the scripting from here creates. I had 22621.2216 from Sept 2022 and had to increase the partition.
