Xbox Power brick light issue

When you get the 3 red lights, what color is the light on your power brick? If it is anything other than green, try turning off your xbox and then disconnect the power brick from the xbox, wall, and the cable going into the brick. Then plug it all back in
and see if that corrects the issue.

If the light on the power brick is green, send it in for repair. I would recommend including a note that the issue is intermittent if you do decide to send it in for repair. By the way, it is cheaper to submit your repair online rather than calling xbox
support.

if you are using the other power brick, check to see if the light comes on. It probably is a faulty power brick issue

I have a similar issue with my xbox 360. the light is on the power brick. tried reconnecting to different outlets, even bought a new power brick. the light is still red and the xbox system won't turn on. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello TheSliceHouse! What model Xbox 360 do you have? If it is the Original Xbox 360 and it overheats the ring of light should flash 2 red lights like this






If you are getting one or more flashing red lights on the console, please use the

Flashing Lights Wizard.



If it's the New model Xbox 360 S it should flash the center light on the power button red.



From what the issue sounds like, I believe you are having an issue with the power brick overheating. When the power brick is in standby mode (console is powered off) the light on the power brick should be orange. When the console is powered up normally the
light on the power brick should be Green. If there is a fault in the power brick ( when the xbox just turns off on it's own with no warning) the light on the power brick should turn red.



Make sure the power brick is in an open area where the vents are not obstructed as there is a fan inside to keep it cool.



Play the console until it shuts off than take a look at the light on the power brick. If it's anything other than green or orange there is an issue with the power brick and you should contact Xbox Customer support for a replacement.
