Power problem

Hi there,

I'm having a bit of an odd problem with my 360. Power supply shows orange light when connected directly to standard 3 pin wall socket with lead to Xbox not connected to the console. The light on the power brick goes red once connected to the console.

Power brick is cool and in good condition with no split wires or damage on the exterior.

Is there an easy fix or does this mean scrapping the console.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Power problem?

if anyone can help that would be great! I have 2 issues with my Xbox one, the first is when I turn it on, the display screen will pop up momentarily and then it shuts off. When I turn it on a second time it will stay on and work. Not really a problem just
annoying. The second issue I have is I cannot get any of my controllers to connect wirelessly. I have tried everything! Please help if you can!

 

Power problem

Not sure what is going on from what you've posted. If the lamp is glowing but when you plug it into the console it shuts down, that means you're leaving it plugged into the wall outlet, but plugging it into the back of the console. Or at least that's what
I'm gathering as it's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Have you tried unplugging both ends of the power supply, from the console and the main outlet? The power supply has its own built in surge protector which can trip if a power surge/fluctuation occurs. Resetting the power supply requires unplugging it from
both the outlet and the console and waiting a good 10 seconds for it to reset. Then plug it into the console first, then the wall outlet.

Also, since the power supply does have its own surge suppressor built in, it is recommended to plug it directly into a wall outlet and not into a power strip/surge suppressor. This doesn't always cause problems if you do, but it can.

Last, I assume that the power supply lamp is glowing the right color when you say it is on. White when the console is turned on, or powered down in Instant On mode. Orange when powered down in Energy Saver mode. Flashing orange or no light indicates a problem
with the power supply.

I'd try resetting the power supply as I described above and it's worth trying to plug it straight into an outlet (if you do have it plugged into a power strip). If you still can't get the console to turn on, then it sounds like there might be a problem with
the console itself.
