Bricked Xbox - Failed System Update

If MS aka the NSA lapdogs were to make the Kinect an optional accessory then I might consider getting it. and at Rippen if you honestly think that if the Kinect failed that it wouldn't brick your system then you need to wonder then why they are saying that
the Kinect is integral to the architecture of the system. Hate to break it to you if it fails IT WILL brick your system

[quote user="brandiesel1"]If they are inoperable than doesn't that mean bricked?[/quote]"bricking" refers to rendering an electronic device inoperable. It reduces the device to the state of a brick. Bad DVD firmware doesn't "brick" a console, it renders
the DVD drive inoperable. The rest of the system still works - Netflix, games on demand, XBLA, etc.

Small number or not, it happens to older consoles.

But not because of the update in and of itself. It happens because something in the console
fails.

After rolling out of insider I got a system update. But it failed. Now my xbox one x not starting up. Even osu1 update failed. Please help.

Unenrolling or changing down to a lower Insider ring usually requires a factory refresh.

To start a OSU you must of booted up the console troubleshooting screen.

If you get the console troubleshoot screen, your console is not, "bricked", unusable.

If you are using wired ethernet to connect to your network hardware, disconnect it before attempting the Offline System Update.

i did have the 360s fail on me...less than a year after buying it. that was due to microsoft coming out with last years update on the weekend of may 20th through the 23rd....that update bricked my console.

did anyone here have their 360S system killed by that update?

It sounds like your power brick is failing. Do you have access to another power brick so you can test to see if it is in fact your brick failing. Also make sure the brick in completely plugged into your xbox.
