Fool
Boy, do I feel like a fool.
I told the story of my 360 support call the other day, and I also spoke of WOPR Mk 2 being finished off. This afternoon I was having a bit of a tidy up, putting WOPR in it’s final home in the cabinet below the television. While doing so, I pretty much unplugged everything beind the TV, including the 360. I then had this idea in my head that I’d go plug it in on the other side of the room, as if somehow it would work in a new location.
And then it did.
Then I went back and plugged it into the same power bar as before…. and it still worked.
Oh.
So apparently all I had to do was physically unplug it from the wall and then plug it back in again. No need for any Indians to be involved. As I had said in my original post, I’d already done the unplug test, but I’d done it with the middle part, removing the power cable from the power brick. I’d never actually removed the power cable from the wall itself.
Well at least this means I have a working 360 again. Although it’ll also mean I’m shortly going to have two power supplies.
