Just a few minutes ago i turned off my 360, i noticed there was dust on the power supply so i unplugged it and cleaned it off. I pluged it back in and the light didnt turn on for a second then i heard a pop and the light came on but it was red. So i unplugged so it didnt blow up, i unplugged it from the 360. Then i plugged it back into the wall and theres no light at all???

What should i do?

What did you do to clean it? You didn't use any liquids?

Leave it for an hour and then try it again, but you may have a busted brick now.

Lol the only thing i did was wipe off the top with a microfiber pad, i used nothing wet. I also blew on it and in the little vents thats it?

You think it damaged my 360 at all?

That shouldn't have damaged anything.

One possibility, if it was really dusty, is that dust has got inside the brick, and that caused the pop sound when you turned it on.
