Accidentally spilled water on top of it. About 2.5 hours ago I just tried turning it on but it shuts straight off. Help?

Send it for repair if water got to the internals

vital tundra
#

And where do I send it off to

pulsar peak
#

Question how much water? Did it go through the vents on top?

that's a lot of water

pulsar peak
#

So it got into the internals

vital tundra
#

Most likely unfortunately

#

U need send it back to Microsoft for repair

last drum
#

and do not leave it plugged in while you're filling out those forms!

vital tundra
#

Im very pissed off now

#

Um. Oddly enough it just turned on

#

Its working?

#

All I did was insert the power cord differently and now it seems to be working

#

I currently have it flipped upside down though

#

Although now im kinda scared

pulsar peak
#

I would wait like a hour and try playing a game.

#

I wish I could post videos here though so you can see what’s happening

#

when you pour water in something you shoul dleave it unplugged for hours or over a day before even thinking about plugging it back in.
No video is necessary.

It is either water damaged or it isn't... Water is the 'safest' of things to pour in (compare dto like Coke) but it sitll isn't a gaurantee

Ok im going to make a final run of events and revisions as to what happened before I archive this thing

#
  • around 11:00am I had spilled about coffee cup of water all over my desk, i’d reckon only 1/4th of it got ON the xbox, im unsure how much got in the black vent
  • left all devices unplugged and faced xbox upside down on towel to try and drain whatever water got into the vent
  • Returned from lectures and lunch at about 2:00pm, plugged in xbox to see if it would work, still upside down.
  • Would turn on and make sound, but immediately switch back off.
  • left it for around 10minuted to fill out microsoft form
  • Decided to try one last time, this time inserting the power supply the opposite way/upside down from what I had it before, and it turned on.

Make what you want of it, and I do want some recommendations if I should still send it in anyways, but this is the last i’ll post in here
