    Xbox One X causing headaches


    Okay. So, I'm planning to trade in my Xbox One X (gears of war limitied edition console) for something else as I've noticed that since I've owned it, the console has let off a sort of warm electronic smell from the back of the console (I've actually had
    two due to this. Both brand new, both from different stores and they've done the exact same thing) and I have noticed that it gives me a fairly strong and bad headache. I'm not exactly sure why, but I do want to see if anyone has any answers. I've had it for
    around a month or two, played several hours a day. It has never overheated, nothing like that, worked fine.

    :)

    I don't know, but I think prolonged exposure to it could be unhealthy. It might be wise to clean it out as soon as possible

    Xbox One X causing headaches

    Hey there,

    This is a really strange issue to run into! How close to the Xbox are you sitting? If the you are sitting close to it, you might want to just back up a little bit, but if this is a smell that takes up the whole room, you might want to use a fan or small
    vacuum and blow some air through the console vents, as it may be dust-like plastic residue that has settled inside the Xbox that is from the factory. If the problem persists after that, you might want to take it into your nearest Microsoft story and have them
    check it out.

    Yeah, I'm pretty damn close. That actually makes sense and I do have allergies. Do you think it could be dangerous to my health due to the headaches or do you think that it's more like when someone doesn't like a fresh paint smell and they get a headache?
    Was just a bit concerned is all.

    This is an odd issue but a serious one. If it is giving you a strong and bad headache I would say say speak to a doctor. I suffer from health issues and these days I never take anything for granted.

    As for the smell, I am stumped as it is not something I have experienced before.

    You might need to seek medical help and not be 2 close to the screen also might be good idea to see an optician and or your local GP to make sure there isn't anything else.
