is there any way of changing my US XBOX to a UK Power Supply.

My lad keeps leaving it plugged and I am a little concerned that it will fry it

Cheers

hi m8 if u know about electronics there is a very easy way to convert your
usa power supply to a uk power supply
if the machine is left plugged in it should be fine so long u got a good step
up transformer that does not got very hot when left in standbye

if u do want the power supply converting over there should be someone here who can do this for u no problems at all

yes, swop the power supply inside the xbox over[using the argos swop trick] and use a basic radio or psx mains lead to run your xbox instead of the stepdown..:}

hi if you are thinking of using the argos swop trick
i be very carefull as they have caught onto this now
normal if a new xbox machine has a problem u leave it with them for two
days to check it out

and when u say your son might fry the xbox with playing games on it
for a longtime
it wont happen as the power supply is total well built
so dont worry
