1 Xbox won't power, orange light (maybe red?) on power brick
I bought a new brick and new cable, checked the usb ports, changed outlets, and still won't turn on. Please help.
Is this a good question?

Can you please try https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/... and https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/...
Seems like a cooling or stable power to the PSU issue.
Report back after you've tried those methods.

Nope, didn't work.
Is the blinking light always on or does it blink?
I don't know much about that issue, but most of the information I find seems to be related to cooling on either the brick, PSU, or ventilation of the XBox itself.
Do you have any friends with another xbox and power brick you can mix and match, to see if the issue is still present?
Your XBox on his power brick, and your power brick on his XBox?
Interesting issue, please report back with any developments.
I bought a new one and still the light shows, also I can't even open the xbox to change out, might try to open it again.
Then it's definitely a problem on the XBox side and not the brick.
Ventilation or heating, or even a PSU issue...
I'd try opening it up if you're not afraid of losing the warranty, and see how it fares. Built up dust, corrosion or out of place parts are issues to look out for.
Let me know if you do crack it open!

As with the above post I would also check if it is connected to a power strip if the strip is functioning properly. Those do go out from time to time. Try an outlet you know that works.

Was it flashing? If it is, get a replacement for it... That means that the power brick died, so there is no use to fix for what I know.
