    Wrong voltage leads to my xbox 360's power brick blowing up.


    So a few years ago my step brother sent me an xbox 360 slim from canada. It says I should only run it at 110 volts max but 13 year old me was too stupid to realize that my country is actually 240 volts, I plug
    the bad boy in and the brick smoked and made a "pop!" sound. Which made me really really scared, a few years later I found my 360 in my old shelves and plan to buy another adapter that's actually for my country, do you think my 360 will still work?

    I really don't want to waste the cool games my step brother sent me and I asked my mom's friend who's an expert when it comes to these things and he said It's fine but I'm still hesitant, I don't want to waste
    my 50 bucks If my xbox isn't going to work.

    Thanks.

    A few things to keep in mind

    -I smelled the 360 itself and It didn't smell like fried circuits (It actually smelled like strawberry)

    -Only the brick popped and smoked I didn't see the 360 reacting to my oblivious action.

    -It's a 110 volts brick and my country's volt output is 240v

    Hi

    If it is an Xbox One S or X then it should work as these support multi voltages. If it is the original Xbox One that has a separate power brick then you will purchase a replacement power brick.

    Adapter is burnt the first time I plug in.

    Yeah if you ended up using the power brick that came with the xbox when you bought it in the US and plugged it in while in india you would have fried your xbox one.

    The voltage in india is 220v and the voltage the US power bricks use are only 110v.

    If you used the US power brick in india this is would NOT be covered under warranty.

    Xbox One Elie stop working

    1. If the built in fuse is broken your console is not going to power on unless you change the power brick.

    2. Yes, I'm assuming that you have the OG Xbox One (due to you said your power brick, external power brick is available only on the OG Xbox One. One S and newer has an internal power supply) there are some power bricks / devices that can handle a specific voltage. But there are some devices that can handle different voltages (if I recall correctly, the Series X and S supports 120/220V)

    3. Yes, when the power brick led is orange, that means you need to replace it;

    If you already tried disconnecting brick from the wall and console for a couple minutes and that didn't work, you need to replace the power supply
