Question about Microsoft Xbox 360 Console

360 No Longer Turns On

Well, one day I plugged in the 360 and there was a spark between to plug and the surge protector. After that it didn't turn on. It has nothing to do with the power cord. I know this because the power cord works fine with my friends' consoles , but their power cords still don't work on mine. Anyone know How I can fix this?

Yes I mean the whole brick. So there's no way I could fix it myself? Its out of warranty so its gonna cost quite a bit of money.

By cord, do you mean the entire AC convertor box? Does the orange light on the convertor box light up? If you used your friends whole ac wire/convertor box (w/ the plug that goes into the xbox itself) and THAT didn't work, then your motherboard took a surge. It is probably trashed as they are VERRRRRRRY sensitive and prone to failure. Time for a new one (or a warranty "repair").

Odds are that the motherboard is seriously damaged. Unfortunately there is no way to repair that. It's gonna have to go back to MS.

Canon pixma mg5220 will not turn on

When you have sparks it toasts the chips even a good teck will ground themselves before opening a peice of equipment like that. I'm sorry to say but I doubt very seriously if either piece of equipment will work. I would also get rid of the surge protecter and have that outlet looked at.

Why does my xbox keeps turning off

...check if your power cords are plugged in right and you have a surge protector outlet.

Disable any cooling devices as they can steal current form the box and make it shut down.

Power brick red light when plugged into the xbox 360 but when its not its orange

If the power brick is plugged into a surge protector then try to plug it directly into the wall outlet instead (note: xbox power brick has it's own surge protector)

Make sure that the brick is clean and the ventilation holes are not blocked.

Unplug ALL cables from Xbox 360 and plug back in securely. (note that though some cables might appear to be secure but they might not be seeded correctly. Verify.)

Check power source and make sure there is no fluctuating current preventing stable current to the Xbox 360 when attached? Try to plug the xbox into a set in another room and see if it corrects itself. If so then you know that possability of outlet issue is likely.

Lastly... your power brick might be bad.

My printer no longer turns on after a storm, although I had it plugged into a surge protector. Is there a reset button or fuse on it somewhere?

Hello.
Replace the printer, unfortunately there is no internal fuse and if it has had a surge then it is destroyed!
If other items still work in the surge protector then it would be cheaper to replace the printer, if nothing works in the surge protector then it would need to be replaced.

I've got this battery back up/surge protector (600VA). i've charged it for more than 16 hours and only the surge protector side works. The other 3 plugs for battery backup do not work. The on/off buttons...

try holding down the power button until it turns on. I had the same problem and this turned the plugs on. good luck.

My power brick light is yellow until i turn on the console then it turns red. whats wrong?

The power supply turns red when it detects a fault such as the power supply has to much current, the voltage is too high or the temperature of the unit is too high.

A few ways to trouble shoot this would be .

1. make sure the power supply is cool
2. try plugging the supply directly into the wall instead of a surge protector ,
3. if that doesnt work call 1800 4 MYXBOX and get a new power supply.

Surge protector shuts off while playing PS3

swap to another surge protector. if it still does it, it is a power surge at the outlet, if it does not, the Surge Proctector has worn out. have someone with the appropriate knowlege have a look at the outlet as well. older outlets especially tend to wear to the point where the plug literally falls out of the wall.

CyberPower 325SL won't work...

NEVER mix surge protectors and UPS!!!. Doing so overloads whoever of the two gets connected to the wall. This equipment is built to be plugged DIRECTLY to the wall. Your unit just crossed it's inner battery. Take it to a recycling center, then stop on your favorite electronis shop and buy a new one.

27 inch Panasonic TAU tv won't turn on, then sparks when you unplug and replug it in

You first need to rplace the outlet if it sparks where the surge protector is plugged in as it should not spark for any reason. then you need to make sure thast its not the outlet causing your problem by running an long extensition corn or moving the set to a differant outlet.
