What are the steps for turning on, turning off, and switching games of the original xbox?

When my xbox(not xbox 360) got broken, Ive brought it to the repair shop and got it fixed. The one who fixed it told me that the hard drive and something I forgot got broken because the xbox was not turn off properly. And now I am asking this so I can be more careful with my xbox.

Make sure your console isn’t plugged into an overused power source. (Don’t have one outlet taken up by seven devices.)

When you turn it on/off, don’t HIT the button, just press it. As sturdy as it may look, it can be broken. It’s best to turn off when you’re at the game main menu. This decreases the chance of software glitches in the XBOX itself.

When changing discs, always (ALWAYS) press the eject button, NEVER force the tray in by hand. You’ll strip the gears, and the drive will be wrecked. Make sure the disc is sitting right in the tray when you insert it, and never touch the disc’s silver side.

And I cannot stress this point enough. Above all, whatever you do……Don’t chuck a hissy fit and throw your controller at the console when you get fragged by a sniper in ‘Halo 2′.
