    US Xbox One with a 200-240 Power Supply but a US AC cord


    I brought my Xbox One from the US here to Singapore and then bought, what looks like, an original Xbox Power Supply for my country. However, the power supply didn’t come with the AC cord that plugs into the socket.



    I wanted to ask the community. Is it possible to just use the US AC cord and attach a 3 prong adapter for the socket as long as the Power Supply is the correct voltage? I am not an expert but isn't the AC cord itself universal besides the prongs?
    Its the Power Supply that needs to match the voltage? I don't want to fry anything so I am asking first.



    Does anyone know if its also possible to just use an Xbox 360 AC cord and plug that into the Xbox One Power Supply?



    Any help would be appreciated.



    Thanks,

    :)

  2. REPLACEMENT XBOX ONE POWER CABLE

    The power cable that connects between the power supply block and the mains outlet on the wall is actually a

    standard AC cord
    that many other devices use, like TVs, monitors, and desktop computers.

    You'll want either the C18 AC cord, or the more common C14 AC cord. They are cheap to replace. Just order one online somewhere or borrow one from an existing device in your home. Chances are you might even have an extra cable like that lying
    around.

    If you need a new power supply block, you will have to
    contact Microsoft for a replacement
    . Microsoft sells neither the block or the cord separately like accessories on the store.

    Powerbrick blew up?

    Most portable electronics will work on any voltage from 85 to 265 volts. But your Xbox supply is less. Therefore you exploded internal PSU parts.

    If a power supply meets design requirements that existed long before PCs existed, then only its power supply is destroyed.

    Now, that AC power cord says what voltage it will connect to. If you have wiring that is required everywhere in the country, then that Xbox plug could never connect to 240 volts or a 240 volt receptacle. How could you possibly connect a 120 volt supply
    to a 240 volt source? Your damage is directly traceable to someone who (apparently) violated well defined and 'no reason to ever violate' standards.
