    I can't afford Water damage any tips? :p

    Water damage

    I spilled water on my Xbox and it got in the heatsink and in the power port on the back. The power brick when plugged in turns on its orange light but when I plug it into the Xbox the power brick shuts off. Does anyone know if this is a power brick problem
    or a problem with the console itself?

    I'm assuming this Xbox is completely out of warranty. I doubt this is covered by warranty anyway (but by all means,
    check!). If the Xbox has NOT been connected to power at any time after it got wet, you probably have some vague hope of keeping it alive. If you have plugged it in, chances are a short has
    fried the motherboard and has effectively rendered the console as a brick.

    I'm assuming that drying off the outside with a towel will not suffice; I'm assuming all of the cat-liquids have seeped inside.

    Hi dustycrow,

    If you're console is broken due to liquid damage the only thing you can do it send it for repair. Also you're going to need to pay the service fee required by the service center as it's not a malfunction of the hardware (even if you're in warranty). Please
    do not attempt ANY DIY fixes as consoles that have been tampered with have no warranty what so ever, and you'll need to purchase a brand new one. Follow this link to send your console in for
    repairs.

    Also note that DIY fixes are against the Forums ToU, and shouldn't posted here.

    My Xbox One got water all over it

    I'm sorry to hear that your Xbox One got water damage. Unfortunately, water damage can cause serious damage to electronic devices, and it's not recommended to try to turn on the device after it has been exposed to water.



    It's important to keep the Xbox One turned off and unplugged from any power source to prevent further damage. Avoid using any heat sources to dry out the device, as this can cause additional damage.
