    Xbox One controller almost burned my house down


    Yesterday i downloaded the Xbox app and had to apply a firmware update to my controller. Never done that before, didn't actually know it was a thing. No use on the controller after that. Fresh batteries too, Energizer. Later that night i went to turn the
    Xbox on and could start smelling plastic burning. The controller was literally smoking from the bottom middle. Incredibly hot, melted a little. What the heck?

    :)

    Hey guys! Please remember to respect your fellow community members on the forums. Also, in the future, make sure to check the time stamp of the original post and don't bump threads that are older (even if someone else has replied before you)!



    @BENMAN4411 I'm sorry to hear about your loss and I hope that you were able to sort things out with the insurance company. Unfortunatley, as was said, this isn't something we're able to grant.

    The best thing to do is talk to your insurance company, honestly an Xbox live gold membership should be the least of your worries since that can be replaced at anytime

    Ben, that's unfortunate but if you log on to a new console with your account you will have your current membership available there. You could borrow a friends perhaps?
