    Sounds like the power supply is on the way out. They're sealed units & repairing them isn't recommended. You can buy a brand new official one from MS directly, for between €20/€30 I think

    That's great thanks , do I just ring them up and order it , or does warranty have to be in place .

    It happened me last year, I done it through the service section on their website I think. My console was out of warranty, so I got billed for the replacement part which arrived a few days later.
