I have previously dropped the power cord (power cable) from the socket because I did not put the cable correctly into the socket (too light) and in the middle of a game did the following hard drive break? It happened to me for the first time hope it is not that bad that the xbox was damaged thanks for answers.
It can leave damage, so don't do it too often.
What can happen once?
If you don't have a plug in the socket properly, sparks can jump and it can burn, but that was not asked,
with every "computer", including an XBox, there may be memory problems. That means: memory is "destroyed", not readable. Your savegame may be partially deleted and other serious damage to your operating system and game.
Most of the time nothing happens except an unsaved save.
Jo sorry accidentally pressed not helpful wanted to press helpful
Have checked nothing happened. Score is still there and xbox is alive
Well, of course nothing has to happen
Can do but doesn't have to
