    Xbox One electrical crackling


    I sent my XBone in for repairs since it was making electrical crackling sounds,
    . I finally got it back from the repair center with a note that the system is fine and nothing was done to it.
    Well, it's still making that crackling sound. I'm scared to leave the thing plugged in while I'm away for fear that it will spark and start a fire.

    Do you think I should bother sending it to repair center again or just give up on the XBone?

    :)

    Xbox One console (not power brick) making buzzing noise

    My first XBone was DOA. My second XBone was silent for the first few months; then it started making that electrical crackling sound
    .

    I got it back from repair and they claim nothing is wrong with the console. I'm seriously considering selling it while the value is still high and getting something with better hardware quality control.

    Xbox One electrical crackling

    That's hard drive activity you can hear. Part of the reason you can hear that is because the Xbox One itself is so quiet, so there's no loud fan noise masking it, and because the hard drive is at the back of the console on the right-hand side where the vents
    are.

    If you use "instant on" mode, then sometimes you'll hear that noise when the console is off too, as the system periodically checks for updates to games, apps and the dashboard and will download them automatically for you.

    It's nothing to worry about.

    Your xbox should be silent. I know exactly the sound your talking about. Don't accept that it has been fixed and demand a brand new console. That's what I did and guess what, it's silent! No crackling buzz sounds. As if your gonna put up with that racket
    all the time, that would be appalling. Demand new and don't put up with it!

    Whenever I hear about a electrical crackling sound it makes me think power surge . Have you got it connected to a surge protector board? Or just plugged into the electricity socket?

  10. If you suspect an internal electrical problem with it,. Demand a replacment. I wouldnt even power it up.

    Safety 1st.

    Mine doesn't make that noise. I'd get a replacement before the warranty is up. Get on the phone and complain. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

    Really @Electro, if there was a electrical problem the console would not power up. The X1 console only contains low voltage, the power supply that's out side the console is were the line voltage is converted.

    Noise is most likely coming from the HDD, disk drive or the fan.

    Yes, really JWSpeed. Loose connections (crackeling sounds) can still power on, and run the console.

    But dont take my word for it. Ask any electronics tech.

    These things are more common than people think.

    @Electro, then all I have to do is ask myself because I am a electronic tech. You said it was a safety hazard which it isn't.
