So my power supply jacked up recently, started making this crazy grinding noise. for the first week, it would turn on and grind for a while. here is the kicker, i would literally pound the box, and it would stop and Just be silent for the rest of the time it was turned on... this worked for about a week.
Then it just started being noisy and grinding no matter how hard I pounded it.... and would still work but make the grinding noise still.... so then...
I thought.......well, the KINECT IS PROBABLY PUTTING MORE WORK LOAD ON MY POWER SUPPLY since I have the new slim model, it does not plug into the wall independent. it uses the same power supply as the 360.
So I unplugged it.......and my power supply works for the most part flawlessly, without any noise. NOW........This does not SOLVE any problems, for i have not tested plugging the kinect back in.... I dont care to use it anyway its pretty much an over priced microphone. and if I ever did want to use my kinect again, I would probably experience that same crazyily annoying grinding noise.
This is more of a work around / informative point than a total fix for a problem that seems to be aggro'ing a lot of us 360 users, and I am curious to see if it works for anyone else.
Cheers.......and Have Nice Day.
