    I think my PSU is fried


    I bought my Xbox One in the US but this week I traveled to Egypt. I completely forgot about the fact that Egypt uses 220V electricity system. So when I connected the 100V PSU directly to the outlet smoke came out of it (the PSU). So I removed it quickly.

    I was not sure if everything was destroyed so I bought a power transformer that transforms the 220v to 110v. I tested it and to my surprise the Xbox worked. But when I try to play anything the power cuts off completely.

    Also, on the side of the PSU I noticed a liquid coming out of it. At first I thought maybe someone spilled water in this area but when I smelled it it smelt weird.

    Anyway, I just want to make sure if all this means that only the PSU got damaged or I need to repair something in the console itself.

    :)

    Console power on problems

    Ok. I opened the PSU case and i can tell it is fried, there is a black burned part on the main board of PSU, now i still cant tell if the console too is broken because i cant explain why when i connect this PSU to the console the FAN from the console starts
    to run like crazy at full power. Maybe it is a precaution measure if the console feels some power anomaly from PSU or is fried too?

    Do you have the option for auto download on ?

    If so turn it off and try if that helps.

    Canadian Xbox 360 in France. Power supply issues

    Hi,

    No it will not as a Canadian Xbox 360 use 110V and here in France we use 220V so it will damage your console, you will have to buy a 110v/220v converter to be able to use your Canadian console in France.
    Hi,

    When you buy a power converter as mentioned by Boombaa, keep in mind that your current PSU is possibly fried.

    You need to repair it or swap it with a working PSU.
