Xbox One Kinect: Why does my Kinect keep going through power down/up cycles then stop

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 08:12:02 -0700

My Kinect 2 for Xbox One keeps powering down and back up again then eventually doesn't come back on and shows the 'not plugged in' icon in the top right corner.

I could hazard a guess that it is over heating and shuts down as a safety precaution? If this were true maybe the fan isn't working. Should the fan be on all the time or only when it is hot enough?

How can I get an actual fault code out of it? And assuming I can get a fault code, where can I look up what it means?

Microsoft Game Console Accessory: I dropped my controller in water

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 16:38:31 -0700

Hello all! I dropped my Xbox One S controller in water, and now I can't get it to sync with my Xbox. I tried to disassemble it to let it dry. It turns on now, but my sync light just flashes without actually connecting when I try. I've waited a couple of days to make sure it was totally dry, too. Is there anything I can do?

Greetings,

I saw the prior post about the kinect and the fan not spinning up when it gets warm which leads to it power cycling and eventually not turning on. I have been looking for a fan part to order for replacement but so far I have not gotten luck in my search. Anyone have any suggestions on where I might find one?

Gaems g155: A Bad Day at The Black Watch...nothing but Snow

Thu, 01 Jun 2017 03:54:50 -0700

ok,

so i replaced the screen following this iFixit guide (great guide BTW),

powered on,

but all i get is a bad day at the black watch. nothing but snow.

any ideas, do i need a remote to change the input to hdmi, as i bought it with the cracked screen sans accessories.

or could there be a problem with the control board, all the buttons work, sound from speakers briefly until the mute kicks in. initial startup shows the Gaems 'G' logo on a black background, which hints that the screen is good.

thanks

Microsoft Kinect: dog chewed through kinect cable

Ok, so I got a kinect and after 2 nights on playing my dog chewed through the cable that runs from the kinect itself and the box that converts to usb. I've tried to splice and rewire it already and now the xbox says its not responding, any suggestions? There are white, green, black, red and brown. Does the aluminum wrapping have to be touching too?

Xbox One Kinect: How to best re-atach the cable?

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 07:24:31 -0700

I did remove the cable on my Kinect by pulling it out using some force.

Now I want to plug it in again. Has anyone any tips on how to do that properly?

Pictures on the rotation of the cable, the process and a few tricks would be very much apreciated.

I could also use a picture of how the port is supposed to look when it is not damaged to compare it to.

This might be helpful to people in the exact situation as I am- be it because of curiousity or because the cable needs to be swapped out.

Update: Just to clarify: Nothing is definitely broken- just need help figuring out how to plug the cable in again without killing the port.
