Good evening @user_wpqytk. Do you have an X1 voice remote you can try using to turn on the box?

The voice remote only turns on or off the television.

Ok, thank you for letting us know @user_wpqytk

 

Have you tried pressing and holding the physical power button on the front of the X1 TV Box for 10–15 seconds to force a restart? 

 

Additionally, can you confirm that the TV Box is plugged directly into an active power outlet and that the power cord is securely connected on both ends?

There is no buttons on my x1 box. The remote turns only tv on & off.

I've tried to refresh on my phone but it doesn't find it because it (x1 box) will not turn on.

Thanks for confirming. At this point, I would recommend switching that box out for a new one. If you have an XFINITY store close to you, you can return the current box and pick up a new one there. If you preferred we ship you one, please send us a private message with your full name and address.
