My Xbox turns on for around 15 seconds then turns off

So i’ve been searching for a while but still can’t find an answer. My Xbox turns on for around 14-15 seconds the Xbox light comes on I can hear the fan come on, but then it just completely shuts off. I also can hear a buzzing sound coming from around the fan area it sorta sounds like it’s trying to power something up but can’t. I have tried power cycling but it didn’t work. I've tried to speak directly to Xbox but they always go straight for making me pay for repairs. Also I do think I know what could of happened, so my Xbox turns itself on some times so this one night it was on but I turned it off directly from the switch on the wall, i’m thinking a power surge problem?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I have had this problem too, at first I tried the hackey ways of doing it but that didn't work. So I looked online, but the only problem that I could find was that there was something wrong with the power block. So we bought a new one, that still didn't work. What didn't work for me that might work for you is putting a hot hair dryer on full blast and put is against all of the air vents on the xbox. Hopefully this works for you.
