    For those of you who hear me say “Jason Creeper” at the beginning of the video and are confused. Then all you need to know is that was my old channel name before I changed it to Zack FTW

    Xbox Power Brick turning red usually means one of two things:
    1. Power Brick Overheat
    2. Malfunction, Surge Protection Triggered
    Best bet is to buy a new brick if you have the overheat one. My fan died on my old power brick and it wouldn't go for more than a couple minutes without shutting off. Needed to keep a large fan pointed directly at it to keep it running, even then it would burn out.

    • @ap_fj
