    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.

    lost power cord for the newer xbox -Need replacement

    You want to order the AC cord, or the whole power supply including the power brick?



    A PC power cord should work as an AC cord replacement. I've used one before on the more modern supplies that do not have a center notch in the power receptical (non-203w power supplies.



    The whole power brick can be ordered from Microsoft on myservice.xbox.com. Start a repair and one of the options is to buy a replacement power brick. They're about $30.

    Game Installation Stopped

    Hey Maxime thanks for keeping in touch!

    We suggest plugging the console directly to the wall To connect the power supply to your Xbox:

    1. Fully insert the DC power cord into the console.
    2. Firmly plug the AC power cord into the power supply.
    3. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into a wall outlet.
    Also check out the
    power settings
    on the console! Give it a shot and let us know if we can further assist!!

    xbox fuse

    Hello Aline,

    Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. Are you in the same country that the Xbox was purchased in?

    • The AC power cord is about 5 feet, 9 inches (1.2 meters) long.
    • Using a power cord other than the one designed for your power supply may damage the power supply and your Xbox.
    • The type of plug that connects the power cord to your electrical outlet depends on the country and region where your Xbox was sold new.
    • The Xbox power supply contains a fuse to help protect your console from power surges and excessive voltage. This fuse can’t be replaced.
    • For more information on your power supply, you can review this link here :
      About the Xbox One power supply

    Hope this helps!
