PSA: Make sure you get the appropriate power supply if you're switching regions!!!

And not like dumba** like me who thought a simple travel adapter would do the trick. Smoke came out of the power brick like there was no tomorrow...

By the way is the power brick repairable? Or is it completely fried?

It should work fine as long as it's the right style and supplies enough wattage and it will be a lot safer than using a step down converter.

It sounds like you have a newer console which makes it easier to match up the correct power supply than if it was the original 360. Just make sure that it was built for the same console (360 S or 360 E). If you're unsure you should be able to bring in your
old power supply to your local game store and ask them for an appropriate replacement.

Here's some more information on Xbox 360 power supplies if you're interested.

Technically it should be fine as the xbox power supply is a switching type, if you do buy a cable make sure it is rated with a 5 amp fuse.

It is fired. You would need to replace the power brick. You can go here to start that process. devicesupport.microsoft.com/en-US Good Luck!

Contact your local XBOX support number. They should be able to sell you the appropriate AC power supply for your region.

I'm willing to bet the power brick will make the switch to whatever they have there as long as you have an adapter just to plug it in. Power supplies have been universal for a long time. Just look on the bottom of the brick and check to see if it says 110/220V.
If it does, you're ok.

I'm not sure about the account. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work, but Microsoft may be angry at you for region codes or something.

Hey AvionCharge768! You will need a new power supply in order to make sure the console gets the right power. Additionally games are region locked so you will not be able to play games purchased here on the console. Thanks!
