In this video, we look at the issues with the Original XBOX one and it's power supply. (The brick) As these systems age, we find more and more issues with the power brick, and not internal of the Xbox. So, if you are having issues with random system shut downs, or a system that won't boot, I will show you want it takes to bring the power supply back to life.

Thank you for this video, I'm so glad I came across this! Went ahead and popped open my power block and located a bulging capacitor. I then rummaged though an old box of computer parts and found the appropriate capacitor to use as a replacement. I put it all back together and the Xbox booted right up like its supposed to. Saved me from buying a cheap replacement power block that would have burned itself or my xbox out in 4 months.

Mine died about 2 years ago. I did end up getting an aftermarket, because the OEM were 3 times the price and, I wasn't sure that was the problem. It was and the aftermarket has lasted about 2 years now but today, it was taking a really long time to power down after I quit playing. After maybe 2 hours of on time. I did keep the original and may give this a try. Circuit boards are like jigsaw puzzles to me. Being a carpenter for 35 years, electronics are a bit tedious. Like threading a very fine needle, tedious. But it's worth a try. I've watched yours and one other video. He replaced 3 caps. All swollen. And with success. Just as u did. So I thank you. Though a decent aftermarket is only around 20 bucks. If its a sure fix for 10. Replacing caps. I guess it's worth it. Thanks again 👍👍

Well thank you for the video it got me thinking. My power supply was turning on not plugged into the xbox but shut off immediately when plugged into it. I watched to part of having the brick taken apart and was reading the comments. Someone mentioned they bought a new power brick and it wouldn't work. So you mentioned that sometimes there's an issue in the console. I smelled the console and it had a bit of a plastic burning smell. Thinking back to my PS3 days it wouldn't turn on without a blow dryer for a few minutes aimed into it. I figured I got nothing to lose cause I'm not the guy to replace capacitors or anything. I gave the console a solid couple whacks right in the corner where the power supply plugs in and voila the console turned on lmao. I know it's not fixed but at least I can get the game out and maybe have some time to get a new console. Will see though. Anyways not the fix you were suggesting but it's good enough for me! Cheers bud!

Thanks for your video. My power brick died a couple of weeks back and everything I'd seen about checking it suggested the caps had gone and would show bulging tops. But when I opened the brick, the caps looked fine. My son's power brick fired up the xbox so we knew the power brick was faulty. So I bought an aftermarket power brick which came with a very noisy fan. Not happy. I've just watched your video and you've enlightened me by saying that the caps might be dead even though the tops aren't bulging. That's something I wasn't aware of. Thanks. I've still got my original power brick so I'll open it up again and replace the caps. Fingers crossed. Thanks again.

Mine does an even weirder stuff, it turns orange and when i plug the Xbone it goes white then rapidly yellow again. If i try to power the Xbone i heard the turn on sound of the Xbone, but then it just shuts down again. This repeats randomly until it actually powers on after 3-4 tries and the LED turns white, sometimes it takes like 10-15 minutes for the damn thing to actually turn on and i can play fine without issues for hours non stop. I can even turn it on and off again and powers on without issues until the next day when it starts doing the same BS. The 16v 2200uf on the left was kinda bloated on the top, so i replaced with with another one with the same specs. I also replaced the one on the Right 16v 1000uf (it wasen't bloated). But it's still doing the exact same things. So i'm kinda confused what the hell is going on with my PSU.

I took it apart and I was hoping to see puffy capacitors cause I'm sure I can change those but honestly they look ok. Not sure what's up.

You don't don't get an orage light... then the brick is probably beyond repair. You can get a new one cheap from amazon: amzn.to/3GHK3r8

I bought a new power supply off Amazon. When I plugged it in the wall, a solid red light comes on. What does that mean? This is before I even plug the power supply into the Xbox. Need help please

@PghGameFix 9 ай бұрын

An aftermarket supply will have different color lights. Plug it into your xbox, and see if it turns on.

You can just short across them with pliers to discharge the caps. OR, a large resistor. Just need some good solder to go with your iron.

NEED MAJOR HELP! Have you seen a power brick not cycling the fan before? What could that be? Is it the battery itself and how could you fix that problem? I already used a third party power brick not reading it and realized that I can't connect online at all. I still have Xbox live it didn't expire or anything but find it. This is on my Xbox one original brand power brick. Not Xbox series and not some third party. I noticed that the side where the battery is warm when it's not even plugged in compared to the third party power brick. The light is completely normal and functioning the way it should be but noticed that the fan isn't spinning at all and I already put grease for the fan.

@PghGameFix 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure what battery you are talking about. The fan itself can be dead. As far as not connecting online..... if it's actually connecting to your WiFi... then it could be a banned system. If it's not connecting to your WiFi... then I would make sure the WiFi unit, and antenna are connected properly in the Xbox.

@jorgelozano4008 2 жыл бұрын

@@PghGameFix I am assuming it banned my online use? Even though I never got reported or anything of that sort. Secondly maybe you are right thinking about it maybe it could be since I used lube it probably got all over the interior of the system or inside of it causing to be damaged and maybe not function properly but it's odd because it was working solid with the lube for a good solid year or so. But when I mean battery or a motor.. it's not hot at all from where the fan compartment is. It's hot from the opposite side of the fan and there's some sort of look like battery that is plastered with some sort of white paste of glue and if I am right I touched it a bit gently and it burned my finger slightly so my guess is.. just like when stuff die out like maybe like a nerf gun on it's last life. It doesn't function the way it's supposed to... Like it's all slow and then starts to slowly give it and not work so you have to exchange out the battery.. But really I am assuming that the third party power brick probably banned me from even connecting online. My wifi is good and even with connecting to my hotspot it still didn't allow it. So once I get my other power brick I'll see if it'll allow me to access to connect online. It told me that services are down.

I would contact your local used game shop, and ask if they have a repair person. I would be happy to look at your supply, but if you aren't local to the Pitt PA area, then shipping would make it more than just buying a new supply.
