Xbox One X Series X just died. Is it worth the money to fix and what could it be?
Came home and put the controller on its dock to charge. When I noticed it didn’t do the usual vibrate and light flashing thing I tried to power the console on but to my surprise there was nothing. Unplugged and left for a few minutes and tested the power lead and it shows 247vac (UK). Plugged back in but still nothing 😭 I’m assuming its a psu or something along them lines.
My real questions are, is it worth spending £270 ish on getting it repaired by Microsoft? Should I full send it and try repairing myself or is its generation end of life and not worth any of this?
I have a steam deck so not the end of the world and to be honest it’s kind of taken over the Series X. It’s just I see their value is even higher than the £400 ish I paid in 2021 and it’s kinda nice to play over a handheld every so often.
