    Changing Power Supplies


    I bought an Xbox One in South Korea that came with a 200v-240v power supply. I am going to move back to the USA in a few months, so how can I get a power supply that will work there and have the right plugs?

    :)

    I have a 360 arcade and the AC adapter turns itself off every now and then and the light on it goes red, it also often makes quite a loud noise. I'm thinking of getting a new adapter but I don't know if it will matter if I get a 150 watt adapter like I have
    now, or a 175 watt adapter.

    Any help would be very appreciated.

    Check the light on your power supply:

    Solid green or solid orange light: Your power supply is working. If your console won’t turn on, try our Xbox No Power Solution.

    Flashing orange, solid red, or no light: Your power supply may need to be replaced. Try the following solutions:

    1. Try plugging your console’s power supply into a different electrical outlet. Do not use a surge protector.
    2. If the power supply light is solid red or flashing orange, unplug the power supply and let it cool for 30 minutes. Then, plug the power supply back into the outlet.
    If your power supply light is still flashing orange, solid red, or unlit, your power supply needs to be replaced. You can Order a replacement Xbox
    360 power supply     from our Xbox Online Service Center. Console registration is required to replace the power supply under warranty (the power supply warranty is the same as your console warranty).

    I'm sure usa is 110 , so you would ether need a transformer , or a correct power supply for that region, I think xbox.com would sell them in the store aswell.

    Hi there

    the use of any transformer or power convertor is not advised. I would advise to contact Xbox Support (when in the US) to see if they can help you order a US power supply.

    Older power supply (135 watt) with Corona console?

    Unless something has changed on the power connector, it should work. 360 power supplies are forward-compatible. Higher-wattage power supply units will work with lower-wattage consoles. The wattage just means that the power brick can supply up to the rated
    power, not that it will "force" the rated power into the device.

    Is the Xbox One's power supply dual voltage?

    It's only the power supply that should need to be changed for the correct voltage; the job of the power supply is to step down the voltage from mains to console and convert the AC supply to DC, so that all consoles (in all regions) get the same voltage regardless
    of the mains supply.

    Get a new power supply correctly rated for your current region and it should all be fine.

    Here's some more information on the power supply, but ultimately it's just a case of getting the correct power supply and you're good to go:
