Is it normal for an Xbox to do this?

I just bought a refurbished Xbox after not having one for 2 years. It runs fine but when I turn it off sometimes it sounds like it is still running and then the light on the button goes back on then it turns off after that and the light goes off. Is there any harm to this? Also is there anyway to make the Xbox not autoplay the disc in the Xbox and is there a way for me to autosign in? Thanks for the help.

It usually only stays on if its actively charging any peripherals you may have attached to the unit still, or if you're actively downloading anything in the backround, It is NOT due to the fact that its trying to cool the unit off, there is nothing to cool anymore if there isn't anything actively being used with the hardware.

That means background downloads is turned on. What it does it check your system to see if it is in the middle of downloading something into your hard drive. That can be demos, videos, or any downloadable content. I have mine off because I don't download much, you can go to system settings and look in shutdown options and set background downloads off

I'd also check auto start in the console settings to turn off auto play game disc

Ohh LOL mine does this!! don't worry, I got my new Xbox (only because I wanted my own, I used to share) almost exactly 3 years ago now, and only recently (well,maybe like half a year ago)I noticed it flashing after I turned it off. I seem to have like OCD or something and I have to stare at the light to make sure it's turned off), almost like when you have to make sure a door is locked :lol:. But yeah, mine flashes about 3 times too. Don't worry about it :).

yeah mine does that too. it rarely stays on very long if I dont have any background downloads going.

That behavior is pretty much normal for me, and it has been for a long time now.
