xbox 360 kinect faulty power supply or camera

It sounds like a faulty power supply. I would try another power supply if you can borrow one from a friend. If the problem happens again with the other power supply, it could be your 360 or it could be a faulty outlet that the power supply is plugged into.
If the power supply is functioning properly, you should never see a red light on it.

Check Power supply article to troubleshoot or Device support
if faulty power.

The retail stand-alone Kinect package includes a power supply for Kinect. It's attached to the Kinect's power cable in the box.



Buy a retail package. People reselling the Kinect bundled with the 360 on eBay don't sell it with the power supply. The Kinect that comes with a 360 S doesn't come with one.

It is a custom shaped USB 3.0 port coupled with a power port.

"Though the port for the Kinect on Xbox One is proprietary, this is no different from the original Kinect. The port on the 360 slim supplied both power (Kinect’s power requirements are greater than what a standard USB port can supply) and a USB 2.0 connection.
For Kinect 2.0, it’s power + USB 3.0."

"There is a solid red light on my console and the screen is blank."

Try the following steps:

Let the power supply cool for about 30 minutes.

Plug the power supply into a DIFFERENT WALL OUTLET.

Disconnect and reconnect all accessories.

Check the power supply.

Remove the hard drive.

*If the above steps don’t solve the issue, order a replacement POWER SUPPLY from the Xbox Online Service Center.*

The XBOX 360 is not the problem, it's the power supply that is faulty.
