  1. Series S shutting off while using


    My dad has been playing his new Series S console and didn't realize it needed ventilation and was playing online for 3 hours with the console being in an enclosed glass cabinet.

    The console turned off mid game and was hot to the touch.

    I told him he needed proper ventilation but I have a couple questions.


    1. It's within 30 days of purchase and wondering if he should return as he possibly damaged something?


    2. Or is it possible that there is an actual issue with the thermal paste and he should return it for a defective reason?

    Xbox series s shutting off consistently while playing

    I am not able to test in another house but I can test in another room and see if that works.

    Xbox series s shutting off consistently while playing

    Hello, xonkY000. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    Since you tried almost everything and the Xbox service told you nothing was wrong with the console, I would suggest you to test it on another house. Are you able to test it on a family or friend's house?

    Waiting for your kind reply.

    Controller shuts off while using headphones

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    The controller will shut itself down to save power if not used, usually shuts down within 10 minutes. To avoid this, press any button on the controller.

    Xbox Series X/S controller shutting off while plugged in

    Thanks, I will look into this. My controller is now doing this thing where it becomes unresponsive while it's still on. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work, and it has shut off a few times after doing that.

    Xbox Series X/S controller shutting off while plugged in

    Thank you for responding. I haven't tried it wirelessly. I use the controller plugged in only because it won't stay connected to the system. That's a problem I've had with each of my wireless controllers, and I think it's because of something interfering with the signal. As for the cable I use, it's the only one I have that fits the controller.

    I did a firmware update after making the post, but I haven't noticed a difference. I don'r have a headset or an adapter, so the other options are not doable.
