Xbox series x smell

Hi

It may be the silicon heating up, no need to worry. Play and enjoy.

Regards

I'm having the smell of burning plastic like crazy it's making me sick I thought my house was burning down or an electrical fire on my wall but it's coming out of the console. This is very dangerous what should I do I'm having a reaction to it medical wise.

Also to let you know it's been since the latest console update that's causing it. I hadn't been playing it because the console update there weren't really any games worth playing. And then when I fired it up running an actual game on their console update it smells like it's having an electrical fire inside. Combined with the smell of a hair dryer I have both melting plastic smell/ electrical fire smell. It's messed me up for 3 days now. I feel terrible from the smell.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello bigspankwa, in this case the ideal would be to send your console for the Microsoft warranty, however try to verify that there is something wrong with the electrical outlet that was connected to the Xbox so that it does not affect other equipment.

You access the site above and register a new device using the serial number. you find behind your console.

Then in MORE DETAILS, look to request repair, Start Online Service.

To mail it to Microsoft.

It’s not the heat that worries me. It’s the hair dryer smell.
