Loud pop noise from my power brick

Starwolf44441 · Jan 2, 2023

I was playing on my xbox one and all of a sudden I heard a loud pop. I thought maybe it was my power strip that I was using but then I tried to just plug my power brick back into the wall and its not working. Im thinking maybe it got too hot but there was also a burning smell so Im also thinking that maybe something busted on the inside and I need a new one

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community and Happy New Year.

Hello Starwolf44441, as you are referring to the power brick of your console, I believe you must have an Xbox One Fat, the first Xbox One.

If it is the Xbox One Fat, unfortunately this console has been discontinued and spare parts or the power brick are no longer manufactured.

There are alternative power bricks on the market that are not recommended for use on the console.

Microsoft also no longer has a paid repair service for this console model.

The ideal in this case, if possible, would be to take your power brick to a technical assistance that could fix it.

It has blown a capacitor, unplug it from the wall and the console and don't plug it back in, it can start fires

Is the console itself making the loud noises or is it the power brick that is doing it?

The loud noise you hear is a fan in the power brick i had the same problem i had to replace the power brick because it went red when the light is.

Check to see if it's your Power brick as I've found the fan noise on mine is quite loud while the console is quiet.
