What the symptoms may tell you
A clean shutdown, sudden loss of power and crash to an error screen are different. Timing under load and any temperature warning are important clues.
Safe checks to try first
- 1Check the wall outlet and power lead for obvious damage without opening the power supply.
- 2Allow the console to cool and ensure normal ventilation.
- 3Record whether it happens on one game, every game or while idle.
What to avoid
Do not repeatedly run a device that smells hot, sparks or has liquid damage. Never open a console power supply.
Next step
Send the model, shutdown pattern and any on-screen code.
