How to connect the cables of your Xbox 360 Console

You must connect the cables properly to run your Xbox 360 Console.

Here is how:

Original Xbox 360 console

First, you need to plug one end of the cable into the USB port on the back of the console and the other end into an electrical outlet.

If you have a wireless networking adapter, plug it into the USB port on the front of the console by using the supplied USB extension cable.

Connect all other USB accessories to USB ports on the front of the console.

Note: You'll have to purchase a power/USB cable if your want to connect the Kinect sensor which you have bought with an Xbox 360 S Console, to an Original Xbox 360 console.

Xbox 360 S console

In Xbox 360 S console, the Kinect sensor cable does not need to be attached with a power plug. So disconnect the power plug portion of the cable if it is attached with a power plug.

You need to plug the sensor cable into the AUX port on the back of the console.

Is this a problem with my Xbox One....

First step anytime you g
Xbox One
Unlike Xbox 360, the Xbox One does not have a menu option to clear cache on the console. Instead, follow these steps to clear cache on an Xbox One:

Press and hold the power button on the front of the console until it powers down completely.

Unplug the power cable from the back of the console so that the power brick in not connected to the console.

Press the power button on the console three or four times. This will ensure that any remaining power in the battery is drained, clearing the cache on the console.

Plug the power cable back into the console.

Wait for the light on the power brick to change from white to orange.

Turn on the console using the power button.

et a weird behavior on your xbox one is to clear the cache and see if that solves the problem.

I do not believe that the power cables are interchangeable.

Onyx is correct. The Xbox One and Xbox 360 S power cables are not designed to be interchanged.

Ok, try a different Ethernet cable and a different port on the router, even try the slim on that Ethernet cable (as a test)

If a different Ethernet cable and/or router port does not help or putting the Slim in the place of the older 360 does work on that Ethernet cable then the Xbox Ethernet port is damaged I'm afraid and will have to be repaired by Microsoft.

Hi, I have an Xbox 360 that the power supply seems to be failing on. I would like to purchase a new power supply but am having trouble finding one, would a power supply for a Xbox 360s slim be compatible?

No. The xbox 360 slim power supplies have a completely different connector so those wont work with a normal 360.

[quote user=""]It is possible to re-use an old transfer cable but it must be the Slim compatible one that looks like this: [/quote]Eh, he only needs that if he wants to transfer from 360 S to 360 S HDD. The original HDD transfer cable works with
the 360 S console, and appears to be lower power as you can cable the drive to the cable and the the cable to any one of the 360 S USB ports (even on Corona). The 360 S drive cable seems to only work if you cable it to the back of the console first, then attach
the drive.

Well that's what I thought at first but they are saying that their Slim HDD is failing so the old transfer cable cannot connect to the Slim HDD as the older ones only connect to the Phat HDDs, not Slim, so they must have the transfer cable which can do Slim
to Slim transfers. Do you see what I mean? Or am I getting confused here?
