Hi Brent! After how long? Does it turn off by itself after 10 seconds? Or after 10 hours? We need some more information to troubleshoot the console. Also, can you create a video regarding the issue? That would be great! Thanks.

Sounds like it's time for a re-cap and general refurb.

Yeah, most of the times the caps are failing and prevent the console from turning on. It’s possible that it recently started and so the console does boot for like 3-4 seconds and then turning off by itself. But it can also be heat causing the console to turn it self off after some hours of gaming.

You could be looking at dried thermal paste under the heatsinks or failing capacitors. As the other comments say, the amount of time between turning on and turning itself off could point closer to the problem if shared.
