Xbox 360 won't turn on  email this discussion to a friend?

BurningSandman (12) 3 years ago

Help! My xbox 360 won't turn on. I've tried everything that microsoft suggests.
I found out it wasn't working after waking up after a storm. My guess is it was a power surge.
Anyone else have the same problem?

yea probably the power surge messed it up can't think of anything else, usually the RROD happens if something is wrong with your Xbox 360.

Something similar happened to me. There was a hurricane and when I got back home and tried to turn on my XBox it wouldn't work. I even sent it off to see if they could fix it, and when they sent it back it still didn't work. It turned out that I had the switch on my XBox power cord turned to HD instead of regular tv. You might want to check that out just to be sure.

This has happened to me several times. I had my xbox directly plugged into the wall outlet and lighting struck nearby and short circuited everything. I tried turning on my xbox and i got the 1 red ring. After a few hours it was back to normal. Shortly later i bought a surge protecter and nothing else has happened.

Maybe the storm has burnt the power adaptor... since you don't use an UPS
