xbox problem. Any suggestions?

[Quall999]

I opened it up after posting and looked around. There are no burnt marks or anything like that (i compared it to my other burnt power supply). I plugged in the cord and actually saw the glow of the electricity for a second (maybe I should have plugged it in the wall second). I immediately unplugged it from the wall, waited a minute or so, then looked to see what happened. There wasn't any visual damage inside the xbox, but I looked at the prongs which the power cord attaches and noticed they were browned... That was about all the damage i can see.

Anyways, I took electric tape and wrapped up anything that was metal or exposed that the shock in the inside could have clinged to. Then when I plugged the power cord in the xbox, I jammed it in there pretty hard (this time I plugged it into the wall last). The smell is still linguring a little, but it doesn't get as heavy as it was before. So far so good. Also, when I hit the power button, everything turns off.

This is truly odd.
