Like that?

Microsoft sent a signal out to kill it so you buy an Xbox One X

a quick google search not sure if it helps

Common power brick orange light fix! Seems to sort mine out for a month or so. Just wiggle the power cable around in the power brick a few times, and wait for the orange light to turn white. Sorted!

Yep, that was my day one console way back in 2014, MS replaced it as it was dead.

Just for reference , it’s the Xbox that’s dead :mad:

Gutted for you.

Guess it’s well out of warranty?

Should be plenty of traded in ones floating around if you want to go down that route or people getting spares with the release of the X.
Worth seeing what you can find.

If I send it off for a swap out with Microsoft , what happens to the games on the hardrive, got the X coming Tuesday , when I log into that using my user name will it download all my games to that ? Cheers

Yes it will.

Thanks

God knows how long that’s going to take

Probably days lol depending on your internet.

I’m just gonna leave mine for a day or so on Tuesday, maybe choose Forza Horizon or 7 first.
