Ok so i just bought a 360, havent even played it, my brother has, as soon as i got it to my dorm room and plugged the power brick in the the wall a spark came out and the LED turned orange.I took it out the wall socket it remained orange (even though it wasnt connected to anything). Now it wont even turn on the LED on the power brick, motherfucker man, i bought 2 new games before bringing it back here from homethe day before too. :suicide:

You know, the power brick's led when the xbox is turned off IS suposed to be orange, when you turn it on it's green.

And when you unplug out of the sucket it remains orange for a bit, because it's suposed to not let your xbox fuck up if theres a power outage.

Unless I've really misunderstood, which isn't hard for me btw, I believe he's saying that the transformer won't even turn on at all now.

Well it has been bought for a while now(a month or so) my dad just bought it and for some reason it didnt come with a warranty :confusion: my bro has been playing for a while at home, this shit just happened just as soon as i got it back to my dorm room(which is in another city btw so its a bitch carrying it around).
