Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

HOW TO: Get your Xbox One console or Kinect fixed/replaced




To request service for an Xbox One product, you must first register the product, as described below.

Note You need a free Microsoft account, which enables you to sign in to various Microsoft services such as Xbox Live, to register your Xbox One console and Kinect sensor. If you don’t have a Microsoft account, create a Microsoft account.


  1. Sign in to the Xbox Online Service Center with your Microsoft account credentials (email address and password).
  2. Under Devices, click Add a device. 
  3. Under Register a device, the name, phone number, country, and state fields are pre-populated based on your profile information. Make sure they are correct. 
  4. Note If your profile information is incorrect and you want to update it, click your name in the top-right corner, and then click Profile. 
  5. In the Serial number field, enter your product’s serial number, and then click Register. 

 The registered product now appears in Device Manager. (To see it, click Manage devices under Home at the top of the page.)

After you have registered your Xbox One submit a service order request
  1. Sign in to the Xbox Online Service Center with your Microsoft account credentials and click Problem with a device. If you’re already at the Device Manager page, click Request Service. 
  2. Follow the prompts on the screen to complete your service order request. 
After the submission is received, you’ll be given a service order number, and an order confirmation email will be sent to you.

If after 24 hours you haven't received a confirmation email, check your email program's junk folder or spam filter. If you don't find the email in junk or spam, contact Xbox Support.

Send us the product

  1. Remove all accessories and put only the console or Kinect sensor in a shipping box. Note If you're sending a console, make sure that there’s no disc inside. If a disc is stuck inside your console, see Manually eject a disc from your Xbox One console.  
  2. After you attach the shipping label that you printed out or received from Xbox Support when you created your service request, send the box to our service center.
