Xbox power issue

So my Xbox one tends to activate on its own out of thin air. I used to be annoyed, as it would drain unnecessary power at times, but I got used to it and began just unplugging the whole thing when not using it. Over time I began wondering if always unplugging
it would somehow damage the hardware; I frankly don’t believe the Xbox one was meant to be constantly plugged in and out. I’m just curious as to if this habit will affect my console at all in any way (note that I have a 2 tb external hard drive plugged into
it as well). My friends always tell me to get a new power brick, but I’m just concerned with constantly plugging it in and out at the moment.

Xbox power issue

You're. Xbox is faulty I had the same mine is at the repair center right now and the support agent told me I had a faulty console after trying to tell me it was the power brick for ages she said I needed to send it for repair and they knew it was faulty...
I was shocked but I emailed myself the transcript for future references if needed because she told me to close everything down on the call to be honest I hope they sort this out I waste to much money on games and there offers on the marketplace already! Good
luck just send it for repair and hopefully they will fix it.

 

Xbox Power Issue

Hello Brandon,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We recommend using the troubleshooting steps in the article entitled

Troubleshoot Xbox One Unexpectedly Turning Off in order to resolve the issue. The article suggests if the steps do not work the console may need to be repaired. The repair options can be viewed at our

Xbox Hardware website. The options can also be discussed with the
Xbox Support Team. Be sure to let us know the results!

 

Hey there, sounds like you might be using a surge protector, the console was designed to be plugged directly into the wall as it has a surge protector built into the power supply. We have some info on the

Xbox One power supply that can help with this issue, we would recommend plugging the console directly into the wall, then let us know if the behavior continues. However, if you do not wish to do this, unplugging the console when you are done using it won't
hurt the console any, just make sure you shut it down completely and are not using instant on power mode with the console as this will not allow the console to fully turn off.
