Xbox doing weird things

    Now I'm not sure if my xbox is coming to the end of it's life span or if this is just a common occurrence. But when I turn it off it still makes a noise (I think it's the fans) no picture appears on screen but it continues until I pull the power cable out of the back. When I'm using it it works fine it's just when all that's bothering me is that it's not turning off fully when I turn it off. Anyone know what it is? And should I be worried? Am I doing anything wrong by pulling out the power cable? Any answers would be appreciated

    You don't happen to have anything in any of the USB slots?

    sounds like the fans are screwed.Reckon you'd be best off either sending it in for repair or dumping it.A friend of mines xbox bust into flames shortly after it came out, at the time there were reports of it happening to a few people , and it was related to the transformer or something.Apart from that any electric appliance that keeps running in any form after the power is switched off is some way dodgy.I dont think in a case like that you can be overly cautious cause yo just don't know what way it will go and believe me an electric fire isn't fun to try and put out, especially when its around other electric equipment lke dvd and tv that are still plugged in.

    Me thinks you have your charger is plugged into your controller. As above said just check your usb slots at the front. The xbox stays in a low powered state to charge your controller...
