My Xbox one got hit by lightning - Salute - Dec 26, 2016
I was playing modern warfare remastered and all of a sudden the power went out and I heard a pff noise and bang it wouldn't turn back on. It's the battlefield one edition Xbox one slim so it doesn't have a power brick that's external any suggestions.

You should have a one year warranty through Microsoft.. (long wait scenario)
Where did you purchase from?
Unplug everything and wait a few minutes before trying again.

Power surge. It will have a fuse, but it may not be easily accessible.

meh fuck not many quick fixes with this issue. :/
Gamestop has shit return policy and doesn't care about customer satisfaction... They are actually terrible, avoid Gamestop. Amazon would be your friend in this case.
Your best bet would be ringing up Microsoft because you are covered by them for 1 year.

2 weeks? Brand new items can be exchanged within 30 days. You still may have a chance with Gamestop.
Don't forget your receipt lol

Are you serious, the new Xbox One S consoles don't have power bricks on them? What happens if you aren't running the power cable through a surge protected plug, this shit happens? Ridiculous. I'd suggest looking up or contacting their support. This should be covered as it's a flaw in their cheap production of consoles.

It's a sign from God and he's telling you to game on the PC.

They come with warranty already, no need to pay for it.

Go to myservice.xbox.com and register your Xbox, get it collected by them, they'll fix it as it'll be in warranty.
Don't attempt manually opening anything up, it'll void your warranty, best to go with Xbox directly.

If it hasn't been past 30 days you can return it to gamestop and swap it out.
And I'm pretty sure every xbox one console comes with a 1 year warranty regardless if you pay for one. Contact microsoft.

You can just replace the fuse, look up how to take apart a Xbox One and its placed near enough right next to the power plug socket. I had a issue with my console a few months ago but fixed it by replacing the fuse.
If you need further help just contact me via Pm
