  1. Series x plugged into outlet controlled by light switch, accidentally shut if off while on


    My new Xbox series x is currently plugged into an outlet that is controlled by a light switch. A few times I wasn't thinking and accidentally shut the light switch off which turned my Xbox off. Could this have done any damage?

    :)

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    It won’t cause any damage right away but It may if it will be repeated multiple times or if it will be consistent. I would recommend to make sure to properly turn off your console and to make sure that all of the cords especially the power cord is plugged in properly.

    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.
