Okay I went to go plug in something behind my tv after playing for a while, and the 360 power brick thing smelled like poop and fire. Is this normal?

:lol:

Sorry...I don't think a power brick is supposed to smell like...that. The only smell that might come from a power brick is the smell of hot plastic, which may happen to smell like that. I'm not sure what poop and fire would smell like together.

seriously what made you go over to the power brick and take a big whif? I dont get it. I guess maybe if you keep it in an enclosed area it will heat up much faster and the smellyness wont be able to get aired out very fast and it would build up. IT seems like this is what your doing because you have it behind your tv in a very tight warm area. I would keep it in a more ventilated spot, just like your 360.

If its heavy youll be smelling the glue, if its not heavy then you should probably move it away from the wallpaper.
