Xbox One X emitting a peculiar odor

Zerutso · Oct 15, 2019

So, I recently bought myself the Kait Diaz Limited Edition Xbox One X. Very happy with it so far, but I do have one concern. I've had it for nearly 2 weeks (although I haven't been on it a lot for various irl reasons) and it is still emitting a strange
odor from the back of the console. It isn't really a burning smell, more like a sweet smell? I'm not sure, it's strange. It's defintiley coming from the back of the console, though, whenever it's powered on. It isn't super strong, but you can certainly tell
it's there in the entire room. The console works absolutely fine except the smell. No overheating issues, no loud fan, nothing. Any ideas of to what this may be?

Glad to see you have had it replaced. Hopefully better luck this time around!

So, update. I phoned up Microsoft support themselves. Told me to get it exchanged at the Argos that I bought it from, like you guys have. Went and did that. This new one has the same smell, but it's more of a fresh electronic smell this time. So, I'll
give this thing a few days and I'll see how it goes.
