What actually happens when you try to power it up?

Re: Help! My sky q won’t turn on
I've tried starting from the mains
when I following the instructions online I unplug and then hold the power switch while turning it back on, I hold it while it's just a white light, then when it flashing white it say continue to hold until it goes red and yellow flashes. Then it just turns itself off again
