    Xbox One S Power Cord Loose?


    Hi all!

    Bought myself an Xbox One S for Christmas this year & when plugging the power cord in I noticed that it was very loose and sparked a little as I tried to put it in. It appears to be far too small to remain firm in the back of the console and any small movement
    knocks it out and turns the whole device off. My Xbox One S does power on and works perfectly apart from this, although it's a bit of an annoying issue and I was wondering:

    - Is this normal or is my console defective: if so, what do I do?

    - Is there any way I can solve this issue at home without having to do any major work on the console? I'm not very technical lol

    Thanks so much, and happy holidays!

    :)

    Xbox One S Power Cord Loose?

    I would immediately unplug the cable. If you're seeing sparks, then there is something wrong and removing the power cord is the safest option to avoid a fire hazard.

    Please look at

    As it is a new device it should be covered under warranty and have options for power cord or device replacement depending on where the issue is.

    I haven't seen any sparks, however I've heard noises that sound like sparks - I'm not sure if it's a normal noise and I'm being dumb or if there's something wrong with the console itself as I've never owned an Xbox (or a console) before.

    Thanks for the quick response! I'll take a look at the link you provided.

    Edit: Also turned off the console. Forgot to mention this haha

    Hi there,

    be sure to check that the input is free from anything and nothing is blocking the option to properly hold the power cable.

    Also double check that the cable isn't damaged, it's a fairly generic cable so you could try switching it for a different one, as long as the specifications are the same.
