I have my xbox series x but the power cird that came up with is very wiggly and doesnt power up the console at all so i had to buy another power cable venom 3m which does power up the console but its also not tight fitted on the console its also wiggly but better than before and does the job, now today i was switch off wall socket and switches back in cause i was cleaning now while i was switching off power socket which i do a lit often it sparked inside it. Is that because of the venom power cord or is it lose on the console that triggered the spark inside switch or is it because me doing a lot of switch on and off? Should i be worried as for wigglyness i coudlnt find any power supply that fits well. Thanks for reading and I appreciate any comments or suggestion you have.

Small sparks from a wall switch can be normal and usually come from the socket, not the Xbox. If both cables are wiggly, it may be the Xbox power port. That won’t cause sparks, but it could cause power issues. Try not to switch the wall socket on/off a lot.
If the socket keeps sparking or the Xbox loses power, get it checked if you can.

Nah so far so good
Like its wiggly but powering up has never had any issues
So far than i dont need to get it checked i think but if i lose power or socket spark than need to either change socket or check up xbox
