The only gripe I have with the system, maybe there is a solution?

Yeah, Lofty, that's what I told them. They're 2 and 7. Lol.

LoL, yeah, it's a bit sensitive. I constantly dust my electronics. Probably a couple of times per week and I'm almost always turn it on when cleaning it.

The 360slim has the same thing, just tell your kids not to go near the xbox one. Kids will be kids though, you just need to pay attention to them.

They don't do it deliberately and they are told to stay away. But even a skirt or trouser leg can do it so it happens fairly often with it in the room they most often play. The backing off will at least reduce if not cure it, nothing wrong with an old fashion
button in my opinion lol.

I already changed the HTPC case as they were drawn to the big illuminated button on the old one lol Now I can't tell if its on it is that quiet!!

My family has a small table in front of ours that we use to hold the controllers, headsets, and USB keyboard for quickly typing messages - this in itself, blocks anyone from brushing up against the console's power button. Each time we want to turn it on
or off, we either have to use our voice or lean over the table to hit the button (in the case of a hard reset, for example).

You could always put it up on a higher plane, like a shelf, where they can't reach it - it's what I would do.

Lofty Who

^ Just been reading about electrical tape and depending on which one you go for, like Mr Goat said above it can leave a bit of a mess, well horrible marks.

I guess the most obvious thing to suggest is there anyway you can move you Xbox back a little? What I mean is I have my TV unit, the console sits on the shelf directly below the TV but is positioned well back so if someone walked by and brushed the shelf
itself they don't actually touch the console.

Obviously this might not be possible depending on where you have you Xbox, meaning you might not have room to move it so not really sure what to suggest other than I've read even more about this "Electrical Tap" .. ( becoming quite an expert now lol ) and
the more I read the more I'd say leave it alone, it's not cheap either, well not if you go for a good name.

Its all kind of neat in a unit with hidden wires and a wall mounted plasma. It looks good just proving not very practical as it stands. It's one of my worse jobs routing wiring around lol I hate it.

I'll sort it guys, thanks for all the pointers

Mellor44

Lol cheers guys.

Yeah its a bit tight on space in there, my HTPC is fairly bulky. I should have probably looked at external storage instead of the multiple drives within the unit. Then the other gear around it leaves little space as far as height goes.

I could look at hooking up some sort of lamp like switch to cut the power to it I guess. Or the alternative, as suggested, try and back it off a little. If I moved its external drive and power brick I could gain a bit of space.

It wouldn't be as bad if the voice commands worked a little better with background noise, like the TV on. I can mute the TV, "Xbox Turn Off" pause "Yes". But by the time I have done that I might as well have got up lol
