Last night I noticed the Xbox was on yet nobody had turned it on and now for some odd reason it will not turn off unless I unplug the power cable. Odd... I've not really touched the Xbox other then playing brothers in arms for about 1 hour around 3+1/2 weeks ago. Anyone else ever seen something like this before?

Check the power connection, maybe it keeps getting pluged in and out. Or the power button is f***ed up.

Oh I checked the power cable... it's just odd that it would all of a suddon turn itself on and then not let me turn it off. My brother made a joke and said "It's demanding you give it some attention" lol. But I'm more concerned about the long term effect if there will be a long term.

I would unplug it and get the new power supply cable if I were you.

http://forums.xbox-scene.com/lofiversion/index.php/t361537.html Maybe MS have pulled a fast one. It's not the cable after all. Just in case: http://replacements.webprogram.com/en-us/New_Order.asp

yes i know about the recalling of cables but it doesn't cause a surge that powers up the console Rolling Eyes

Sell it on Ebay as a "Haunted Xbox" like that haunted stitch toy George W Bush - '...more and more of our imports are coming from overseas.'
