    POWER BRICK LIGHT TURNS RED IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME (360 Slim)


    While playing any game, the power brick light will turn to red and the console obviously shuts down. The unit is 2 years old and this began about 2 weeks ago. All aspects of the system are well ventilated and on flat surfaces. I have tried a different
    outlet and I get the same result. I hate to invest in a new power brick, when I have seen some post indicating the purchase of a new power brick with the same result. Thus, is there the possibility it could actually be the console? The standard procedures
    from Microsoft have all been tried and I have had zero success. Would be grateful for insights. Impy

    :)

    Xbox 360 Slim Power

    Hello, so one day I came home from school and my Xbox 360 Slim turns on but like 0.5 seconds later it turns back off and the power brick turns red. Before I turn it on the power brick is yellow. I tried everything to fix but nothing works. So, I ordered
    a new power brick and when I plug it in to my Xbox it turns on for like 3 seconds and turns right back off but the light is orange when it turns off. Help! Is there something wrong with my Xbox 360 Slim instead?

    Hello impy64. To rule out the possibility that it is your xbox console itself, is there any way you can connect your power brick to a different 360 and see if the same problem occurs. If it does, it would appear that the problem is indeed the power brick
    and would need replacing. Post back here with results. Thanks.

    A red light on the PSU means that it's over-heating. If it's constantly over-heating and the area is well ventilated it will need to be replaced. If a new PSU over-heats then it's either not well-ventilated or you got a fluke of a new unit that was bad--this
    does occasionally happen with all technology.

    My brick did this a month ago. I vacuumed the vents in the brick and set it up off the ground, been solid ever since. Hope this helps.

    Xbox 360 keeps powering off

    I use to have this issue too with my Xbox 360 Slim. Is the brick of the power supply turning red? My brick would light up red and I dusted it out with an air can, and it went back to normal.

    No audio or video after update

    Nope, no red lights on the console or power brick (its a 360 slim). I did the sync/eject combo and nothing happened, console did not turn on at all while held down the sync button.
