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.

My friend gave me his old Xbox one and said if I fix all the problems it's mine. Knowing that RUclips exists I said "easy". I just saved 299 dollars thanks bud
Glad it helped, and thanks for watching !!
Same situation but it was my grandpa who gave me it
Same situation bro. Now I’m tryna fix it
Nice
But what if it is blinking red and green
I do not have a have a soldering iron nor the capacity to completely fix it but your video helped me identify that one of my capacitors is popped, and shouldn't be popped.
Glad it helped
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.
I'm glad it helped, and thanks for watching.
How old was the computer that you got the parts from? 3 of my capacitors are bulging.
Awsome video. Do you have a link for the capacitors? Preferably off Amazon? Your video was very informative and helpful. Thanks a million
Excellent video man! That's probably what's going on with mine. Light stay orange when i plug it but won't turn on. Brought the console only to a friend's house ,plugged it in his power brick and it turned on.
I've fixed at least 10 in the last 6 weeks, all with bad caps. Only one needed the big cap changed also. BUT... it will store 160v... make sure to drain it if you are doing the repair. But, a new brick is only $25 or so. amzn.to/3ikB85c
I have the launch version of 2013 and the brick is not like yours inside.
@@PghGameFix thanks
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!
Thank you my my good friend. Lmfao I was having the same issue just now my Xbox wouldn’t turn on and the power box led kept going off as I plugged into the xbox. Unplugged it and smack the shit out of it and all the sudden good as new😂
Maybe its a sign I should try working on things like this. Instead of it just going to the dump it gave me great joy to see it restored
That's why I started doing my videos... to help others in fixing their system. Thanks for watching.
Awesome, thanks for this info! My O.G. (Launch, 2013 model) XB1 died, after a lightning storm/power outage last year (and YES, the outlet has a surge protector). My amber led is "dim" (quickly flashing), and the XB1 fails to power-on. I was already planning to work on the PS, but now I'll have a great place to begin!
Glad the info help
Dealing with the same thing but with an Xbox 1 S
That's why I always use graphite to discharge my capacitors and or I use a construction pencil to precharge my power inverter! Absolutely no spark with graphite!
Update: through watching your video I just opened up my power brick and I'm staring at three capacitors with bulging tops!!! The two big ones are not bulged just the three that you replaced!!
Thank you for this wonderful video!!!
I'm in the same boat I don't really have the stuff to fix it but thank you for showing me what's wrong with it I've been trying to fix my girlfriend's Xbox for like 4 months now in this video was the first one to be on point about what's wrong with it
Glad the video has helped.
same
There’s another guy who has links for everything would be less than $30 and you get a little tourqe key multitool 10 capacitors and a little soldering iron, sorry I don’t have the link but it’s call the real fix or something

Hi thanks for sharing this very helpful video but I need to ask you a favor , I did replace the capacitors as you did but the power brick cut off once I plug in the console. Any idea what else needs to be replaced? Thank you very much.
I need your help pls. My xbox one s controller doesn't work when I connect it to my xbox one console. Like sometime while I am playing the game and the light is on, the controller suddenly turn off. Or the light is still on but when I press the other buttons it doesn't work 😢😢.
mine is orange and when I plug it to the Xbox it stays orange. I have the forza edition Xbox and when I click the on button. sounds like a messed up audio of the car for forza edition Xbox. doesn't power on. not even the button. I click on the open tray button and does a similar sound but failed and messed up. and it just doesn't turn on. they other day I kept messing wit hit and it turned on.
Those low voltage output caps are never gonna shock you. But the big input capacitor is a real one, especially on higher power PSUs like 550W PC PSUs
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 👍👍
Subbed! Hello fellow gamer and repair man!
thanks for the Sub !
Thank you for this! Replaced 4 bulging capacitors. XBOX One works again!
Omg thank you so much I spent 300 dollars trying to fix it but I came across this video I finally worked thanks a lot
Glad it helped.
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.
glad my vid helped
@@PghGameFix Looks like it's not those 3 caps that's my issue. I swapped them out but still have the same problem. Can you suggest anything else? Cheers
@@davidorr8682 Unfortunately, it could be anything and without it being in front of me, I can't giver you a direction to go. Sorry.
Great video, whats the best way to discharge the capacitors before opening up?
Other than leaving git unplugged for an hour or so... there really isn't a way before opening. Thanks for the complement
@@PghGameFix once opened then what?
@@onasazi short the caps as shown in the video
.006 ESR on a cap is very good, not shorted. That is a ESR meter. You are not measuring resistance like a normal multimeter does.
What if the light is red. And when i plug it into my xbox the ligth goes out is that a bad power suply or something else
Ok, but I just got a new one and it still won't boot. Literally just got a week ago and I've been thru 2 supplies and still won't work
What would you suggest doing after the smaller ones are replaced and it didn’t fix the problem? I have 3 of the 2200 and one 1500 in my block. I replaced all four of them and it didn’t work. The larger two don’t have any bulging either.
mine stopped working last night. no light at all until i unplug all three ends. when i plug it back into the wall, the orange light comes on and stays on, when i plug it into the xbox, it flashes white then off. until i do all that again. i took it apart, all the resistors are not domed. i busted the fan by blowing out all the dust with i guess a bigger air compressor than i should have used, it spun freely, no issues there, lots of dust tho and then all the fan blade blew off like it exploded.
so i tried it like that, open brick, plugged it back in, same thing. was hoping it was just all the dust. what else should i be looking for? if its got power then just off when plugged into the xbox.
thanks
This video has inspired me to try something I've never done before. Usually I would just spend a lot of money for a quick fix or replacement but I'm going to see if I can fix this for a few bucks. I'll update once I'm done ruining my PSU.
Glad the vid helped
Mine is white originally and then when plugged into xbox goes orange. Is it the power supply??
Nice video. In your description you may want to change "Kessler" solder Kester* Just so happen to catch that 😂
OK.... I must have missed that too. Stupid auto correct. LOL
Had my Xbox on a few days ago and I moved the power supply off my carpet slightly and then the light on it went completely off which shut the Xbox off. Now I can’t get the light on the power supply to work when I plug the Xbox in.
Sounds like the supply has burnt up. You can try the fix in the video, or replace the brick.
I have a problem my Xbox itself with smoking at first and then the balloon up and it popped what does that mean
My Xbox randomly turns off but when I plug in the power supply it does turn white
So my Xbox one power block dose go on and stuff but here is the thing when I try to update my Xbox when it gets to step 3 it always goes off and I don’t know what to do can you help me out please
Thank you very much for this! My PSU has been driving me crazy and now I know what to do :D
I'm glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching
I have two Xbox One Power Bricks that shut down themselves (the oldest shutdown over things as simple as watching Netflix) and I have wondered if because of overheating and dirt.
My xbox is having similar problems, because it glows when its not plugged into the xbox but when I plug in the cable it all the sudden just turns off after 5 seconds of working, I've tried asking for help online but didn't get much. But I need to tell you how this happened, I was playing my games minding my business trying to finish my mission, but then I heard a popping noise out of no where, the thing shut right off immediately, I don't know if its a circuit or my xbox just finally gave out. I've had this xbox for about 8 years, tell me how I can fix this
I bought a new power brick and the same thing happens. It does. It come on so it sounds like inside the actual Xbox right ?
Yes... unfortunately it's something with the xbox itself.
Hi, How I can activate 12V without connection to the console? I wont use this power brick to the other needs. Thank You.
My just started the smoring, think it's done.. Now I'm here to c if I can fix it. 7-8 yrs I've had this Xbox. My other consoles, witch r older have with stood the test of time. Iv been dealing with my problem for sometime now, I'd say at least 3 yrs at lest that long.
What sucks most about this. I don't use it much for gaming anymore. For movies, like Netflix. Guess what, can't watch Netflix on my other consoles cause then don't operate that way. Sure u can watch DVDs not Netflix.. So now I'm here
Glad you are here.
Mine is staying red but my remote charger will still charge when I have it plugged into my Xbox
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
An aftermarket supply will have different color lights. Plug it into your xbox, and see if it turns on.
What about when it isn't the power supply? I bought a new brick and it still didn't turn on. So I borrowed my girlfriend's brick, her Xbox works perfectly, but even her brick won't turn my xbox on. Is there a way to fix this?
Why does nobody in these repair videos check the actual voltage that comes out from the brick first?? Wouldn't that be a logical first step? As far as I can see, it should have one 5v and one 12v signal coming out from the brick. Mine only has a 5v and the 12v is dead. I guess it could be possible that it should be like that? Maybe the 12v gets turned on by a relay switch if the brick can communicate with the console? I don't know, as nobody actually tells the voltages in these videos. So PLEASE, tell me if both the 5v and 12v is supposed to be active immediately when I plug the supply to the wall? Thanks!
5 V is always on.
12 V only after power button is "pressed" on.
How to check: Find a way to create contact between the inner pins of the plug, the light will change from orange to white as if it is powered on.
The cooler works with 12 V DC, check the voltage of those pins with a multimeter.
I am unable to open my power brick as I do not have the right bit to open the torx security screws. Do you have any other ways to open it?
Not really. The security bits are common for console repair. You could try to break out the tip in the torx screws... and use a regular torx driver.
My power brick is constantly orange and whenever I try turn the Xbox on it makes a sound but doesn't light up nor turns on. So I'm not sure if it's the Xbox or the power brick
THe brick is a cheap testing point. If you are not able to do the repair... a new one is only around $25 on Amazon. amzn.to/3Nw1rSw
What if my power supply is brand new and the Xbox still won't turn on
Then there can be a power rail issue inside the xbox.
I just bought a new power brick and i have the same issue of it being orange whats wrong i just want to know...
There could be internal damage to the Xbox.
Mine keeps repeatedly beeping then turns off after a minute and it doesn’t display anything through the HDMI cord either
weird you only had two and then one on the end. I just did this with my OG xbox one and it had 3 2200uf 16v and then it had a 1500 16v one. I replaced the 3 bunch and I got a very weak flow of power so I tried to replace the 1500 with a 2200 16v and now I get nothing. everything seems good though so any suggestions on that or do you have a solution for an xbox one x that powers up for 5-10 seconds then shuts down ? Have a great day TIA!
What does it mean when it has a solid red light, and when plugged into the Xbox, a white light flickers while the red light is still on? My Xbox does not want to turn on when the power brick is like this.
I think there is something wrong with the power brick. It’s like it only wants to work when it wants to.
What screwdriver are you using
My power brick is orange but Xbox one still turns on. I also bought a new brick but the same issue happens and Xbox restarts with Xbox logo then loads profile
I baught another power supply and after one day of playing it turned off and the power brick goes yellow and then white light blinking. Could this be the xbox doing something to the power brick cause it was the chirp noise turns on then off after about 5 seconds. Thank you.
It could be.... but it could just be a defective brick.
I replaced all 4 of the small capacitors, still have orange light that turns off when connected to the console. Any ideas? What should I test with multimeter to find the issue? Also possible I didn't install the capacitors properly. Is there a way to test that?
You could have one of the regulators that are starting to fail.
Dang dude that sucks!
@@PghGameFix is there a way to test that?
I just bought a new power brick and i have the same issue of it being orange whats wrong i just want to know...
How did you get the screw out?
I was able to break out the center, and get a torx driver in.
Thanks for the tutorial and all the information!
I noticed you have a link to almost everything you used, BUT 2 items!
The capacitors you replaced (1200 & 2200uf 16v) nor the ESR meter, could you please link where I can get those?
I'm apparently the 'mr-fix-it' here, and sometimes I need a YT video or two to help me out to fix this or that, and both of those items I think will REALLY help me out ;)
Thanks for the info and please keep making great videos!
I get my caps from Mouser most of the time. They ship quick, and prices are good. THe ESR meter cane b bought from amazon: amzn.to/3H4nmxo
Great video. I had the same problem and it was caused by three 2200uF/16V capacitors near the DC out. I replaced those and the console worked fine.
Thanks for watching.
Oh, I think hit pay dirt.
I got a few xbox ones that do not power on and cracked open the power supply and yes the output caps have seen better days.
Still need to replace them.
I have a xbox one that originally works at 110volts, how can I play it on 220volts?
Just get the brick for your region.
Where would I go to get this problem fixed? My xbox just makes a small chirp and the light on the xbox doesnt turn on.
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. But, if you need one, here's the one I've been recommending on amazon. amzn.to/3kUiYZC
Thank you so much for the info. I will definitely keep this in mind 😊
Maybe I missed it, but what are the values on the capacitors. Like to have parts available before I tear it down.
I replace all of them with 2200 uf 16v. Thanks for watching.
Hello there. I have a Xbox One console. That is clean inside. The front light on and off button. Would not turn on by touch. I have opened it up clean the fan and everything. It was working fine but now it's doing the same thing. Turning on and turning off. I will turn it back on by myself. As it hits my security code. It shuts right back down I can turn it back on using the controller but not the on and off switch on the dashboard. I don't know if it's the power cord doing this. Watching your video. I don't know if you are doing complete overhauls on Xbox One consoles in other words cleaned fixed and upgraded instead of a 500 gs to a 1000 GS. I don't know how much something like that would cost. But willing to ship out. Or should I just buy another one. Prefer to just upgrade and have it fixed running perfect. And you definitely look like you are the man for the job. Just curious on time frame also. Spent a lot of money on call of duty. Big gamer I think you get the idea LOL. Hit me up if you are interested. Just curious on time frame ship out by next week if can? Thank you Chase
If you pull the main board up... it seems like the pins soldered to the board, from the front switch panel will get corrosion on them. In several of the xbox one S... I have resoldered those. On the original xbox, the ribbon could be damaged.
I turned on my Xbox one it chugged along for a second, made some odd noise. Then powered down, no blinking orange light on the powerbrick, nothing, gone, and now it won't turn back on.. it's been like this for the last few days. I sent off for a new powerbrick on Amazon, should fix it?
Probably. If it was in internal xbox issue... the brick light would be on still.
Hi Tony... Thank you for sharing this great fix... it worked for me!!!
Great... I'm glad it helped.
@@PghGameFix can you fix it mine Xbox One power the box don't work please fix
@@ladrestrickland4160 If you are local, I can look at it. But the cost to ship it will make it more than just buying a replacement power brick.
The big box that plugs into the Xbox. The one with the two little things that go in. It won’t actually go in. What’s wrong?
I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. But if the plug isn't going in... then make sure nothing is stuck in it... or bent.
When connecting my xbox one the orange light stays but doesn't start up when powering on it sounds beep and goes off...what is the problem?
There could be an issue with the internal power rail. (in the xbox)
Hey! I wanna ask you something, my psu has the solid orange light but when you plug the cable in xbox it starts blinking fastly, so where is the problem? Is there some way to fix it? Should i replace the psu? Is the problem in my Xbox?
It's hard to say from where I'm sitting. BUT, since the PSU is relatively cheap, and they fail often... I would start by replacing it.
I replaced those 32v 2200uf and it didn't work, is it because I used 32v instead of 16v?
The voltage shouldn't keep it from working. It's basically the voltage it can be charged to. There is a chance that the Mosfets have burnt out also.
my xbox power brick light is orange and the xbox doesn't turn on if I buy a new power brick will it work or no
Possibly. Have you inspected the power supply at all? (internal) It should be going to white when connected.
I gave this a try and I didn't have good luck. My light was amber when unplugged from the Xbox but the light dies as soon as plugged into the xbox, it does the same thing with the new capacitors installed. What should I look for now?
Short on the 12 volt rail in the console itself on the mosefets near the APU.
Damn power went out and killed my power supply. Man i love the damn power companies around here
Hey, my house got hit with a power outage yesterday and it came back on about an hour or 2 ago, my xbox was working fine before, but now it won't turn on, however the light is orange and doesn't flicker, it won't turn on, however it was plugged into a power strip. Just found out thats not a great idea. I may just need to go buy a new power brick. Any suggestions on a potential fix?
I plug mine in to a strip... it's really not an issue. I would unplug all of it, and give it a few minutes.... then try again. If you need a brick, here's a link. amzn.to/3fA6S4u
@@PghGameFix thanks for the link as I'm not skilled enough for the fix but now I'm at least pretty sure it's the power pack and not my Xbox
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.
Bro mine just shuts off randomly as well I know it’s not over heating and I don’t think it’s the hard drive do you think it’s the power supply or something wrong with my mother board?
@@Callthefedsonme it was the power supply. Got a used one for 15 bucks and it worked fine after that.
@@EtaYorius thank you it sounds like you had a relatively similar issue that I am encountering. I’m gonna get a a new power supply to see if it fixes me issue. To recap what is going on for me is my Xbox one will randomly turn off sometimes it’s right away sometimes I can play for a couple hours just like you said without any problems. I’m confident it’s not overheating because I’ve already completely dissembled the Xbox cleaned everything cleared the heat sink and applied new thermal paste to try to solve the randomly powering off issue,it did not. I’ve did some test with the hard drive I’ve tried multiple hard drives I also tried completely removing the hard drive while the console was taken apart still I encountered the same issue it would just shut off. So the last thing I will be able to try is to get a new power supply. I hope it works I’m not to good at soldering and I don’t know how to diagnose the motherboard if this is the issue
@@Callthefedsonme Hmm, yeah you probably want to try new PSU, but your issue seems a bit different, i never had mine just randomly turn off, more like issues trying to actually turn it on. Some times it would, some times it wouldn't. I just hope it's not something internally on your xbox one... but yeah might want to try with a friend just borrowing a PSU. If it does the same thing i'm afraid it might be your xbox one dying. Hopefully not!
I don't know if you will ever read this comment but what will happen if I just get a new one will I still have all my stuff on my xbox
The power brick has nothing to do with what is in the xbox.
@@PghGameFix Ok thank you for responding
I have a Xbox one s I tried to hard reset my Xbox and when it does it goes to preparing conks then it’s updates then it pop up some stuff I took it in a shop they said it’s the hard drive and I need new button
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.
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.
@@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 have a small solder iron and can get the capacitors here, but want to know how you discharge it and what else I need to use with my solder iron?
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.
@@PghGameFix I do have solder, do I need any flux or IPA or is it just fine with Solder, thanks?
@@TheGamingEevee8 Generaly don't need it with through hole parts... but if you have it... it will make it nicer in the end.

Why would my orange light stay on even when there is no power in it
I hope you answer pls man my xbox before yesterday was wirking but yesterday when i wanted to play my xbox wont turn on and power supply doesnt have any light and when u like beat up the power suplly it works fornseconds and then doesnt work pls help e
If you are able to work on the supply... then crack it open. Otherwise, check amazon for a new one. You can get them for around $25
hey man!! question if you wouldn’t mind, my xbox wasn’t turning on and the power brick was orange. ive bought 2 amazon replacements and none of them worked. what may be wrong with my xbox? anything helps. thank you
If there is no response out of your xbox... it could be a short on the power rail, or a bad South Bridge chip
@@PghGameFix it’s just an xbox. but xbox s, would i need to take either of those in or could i replace that myself? It was working and then it made the turning on sound. then died right away. and hasn’t worked since
Okay so my light won't come on at all like when i plug it in to tge wall and in to the xbox. And not budge can u help me out plx.
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 had a power outage, and once the power came back on I had no response from the console. The power brick displayed no light, is the brick just bad?
I'm guessing there was a power surge, during the outage, and it killed your power brick.
@@PghGameFix sadly, it was a gg for the motherboard. I got a new power supply and had the exact same results, took it to a buddy of mine who’s well versed in this type of stuff, and he said the board was fried. Rip. It lasted over a decade so oh well
@@connordabsrosin1512 Sorry about that. I've worked on a few that had mosfet issues, and I can normally bring them back to life. BUT, when it's a southbridge... then they are normally gone. (Don't think that chip is available) Also, it gets to the point where the labor and parts are more than the console is worth.
Great vid!! But what if my power supply stays in orange when plugged to the Xbox and when I try to turn it on it just makes a very small "click" sound but it wont turn on... is that my powwer supply too? or is it my console?
Without it all in front of me... it would be hard to tell. BUT... since the brick is only around $25... I would get another to test your console with.
I just heard a popping sound everything’s gone off , power brick wasn’t covered but it smells burnt
Got two bricks which I have replaced with new ones, will open them up and change the capacitors. Nice video well done and keep up the good work
Thanks for the pat on the back, and watching my vids. Just be careful, and make sure the old caps are discharged.
@@PghGameFix how do you check the capacitors and discharge them?
What if you don't wanna take apart the power brick
Easy... buy a new one.
@@PghGameFix is there a different way?
@@anikole9949 I'm not sure what you are asking. You have to take things apart to fix them. But maybe I'm missing the point you are trying to convey.
@@PghGameFix like is there a way we can fix it without having to pay for a new one
@@anikole9949 you have to take it apart to fix it like he previously mentioned. Or buy a new one like I have to do for the second time.
So my Xbox turned off while I was cleaning it (biggest mistake and it was off) after I finished cleaning it, the Xbox won’t turn on but currently I’m fixing it Right now and when I plug my powerbrick it’s turns orange and when I plug it into my Xbox it turns off
What do I do?
your brick is going bad. Either replace the caps as shown in the video, or order a new brick.
@@PghGameFix thanks bro 🙏
My power brick is light is red is it broken do i need a new power brick?
Normally a red light is from aftermarket bricks.
what to do when your power block or supply thing is red ? bc i’ve done everything
If it's an aftermarket brick... they seem to have red lights and not orange.
My Xbox one second addition sat for about a year, when I tried it, nothing. Does the Xbox tell the brick to activate or visa versa? I just ordered an aftermarket for 20 bucks. I've messed with electronics before and for 20 bucks it's not worth it just to test it. If that's it, I'll use it till it goes and get a factory one. Maybe. For 25 bucks if it lasts a year, it'll be fine. Sure ask heck not gonna waste money getting it tested for 20 bucks for a new one. Just hoping it's not the machine.
The Brick is self contained. It turns on with a load, but if it sees a short, it will shut off. You should get an orange light just plugging it in to the wall. If you aren't getting that, the brick itself is probably bad.
@@PghGameFix Thanks for writing back. Yeah, I'm hoping that's it. I had that problem with the 360, but that was after a storm and when I unplugged and reset it,it was fine. This is strange because it's been just not used for a year or so. Anyway, we'll see when new one comes. Thanks again 👍
Hi! I was wondering the trio of capacitors you replaced are 2200 microfarads and 16v. There is one right nearby at 1500 microfarads 16v. They all bulge. Can i also u a 2200 where the 1500 is? As i don’t have any 1500
Thanks!
Yes. a slightly larger cap will be fine.
@@PghGameFix thanks! As i rewatched your video but not sure if you did change also the 1500 uf with the ones you had those 2200 uf but staying within the same voltage
And i noticed your power brick had two and one capacitor while mine has 3 (2200 uf) and and the one (1500uf)
I have a white xbox, i got it in 2014-2016, it still runs fast but just today it just stopped. All of the sudden, it just quit. I sat down next to my dresser and the brick light faded when I plugged it in, When I plugged it into the wall, it was perfectly fine, but in the xbox it faded, i don’t want to replace it because its just complicated to explain why i dont want to get rid of it. I just cant replace my xbox!
So I got Xbox the battery light twitching when it’s connected .. when it’s not connected light not twitching… does that also mean It can be due to that issue
And cause my Xbox it still doesn’t turn on
Battery light?
@@PghGameFix meant the power brick Ididnt know what it was called my mistake.
@@familiaprimero5885 Yes. THe light is not steady because its starting to short down internally.
@@PghGameFix shesh I appreciate thank you bro. Ima try fix it and to get that piece
can you tell us for how long we gotta leave it unplug before taking it apart? thanks for the video
At least 4 or 5 minutes. But, you can drain the caps once you are in it.
is it always the power supply that always cause the xbox to not turn on because i was thinking of buying a new power supply
my xbox one has a steady orange when i turn it on it goes white then orange and the console turns off i been turning it on for a while it does the same thing
but before this happend it turned on xbox show on tv then off
is the power supply broken that it needs replacing or the xbox one is broken
i just hope its not the console😰
No. THere are a lot of other reasons that a xbox may not turn on. BUT... I've seen a lot of the early xbox one's having this issue.

@@donjermainem.carlos3036did you ever fix it I have the same issue
So i replaced the caps on a power brick am working on, they were definitely blown(bulging). At first no orange light before replacing, then got orange light after replacing. As soon as I plug into console though the power brick turns off. Any idea where and how I should be looking next? I Don't see any obvious damage and I've used these caps to repair a few bricks before. Have only recently got into console repairs, so still learning as much as I can.
You may have an issue with the one of the power FETs. So it's going into protect mode as soon as it's loaded.
@@PghGameFix that seem to be it. Thanks for the reply! :)
Still learning the chips and how to find short with multimeter. So you atleast gave me an idea where to look and replaced one that had continuety that shouldnt :)
@@markbarnard1970 They would be the fets on the main board of the xbox. Use your meter and look for shorts to ground across the filter caps on the power rail.
How much do they charge to fix this, or how much would you charge ?
Realistically... a replacement brick is cheaper than sending your brick to me. This is more for the people who can do their own repairs.
Can you do a video how to play without a power block cord that you connect to it
THANK YOU!!!!!!! MONEY SAVED!!! MUCH APPRECIATED 😃
Glad my video helped.
Love your kh hat !
Just got my P.S.U back from my repair guy. It works. Ha..the fan works. But it sounds like a sissie fan.. I can't here it. Is that normal. I can feel it take air in. But man it dose not sound like a beast. I wondering if fans could contribute to the over heating of the P.S.U...?..but whatever u were right.thx man.
The OE fan wasn't very loud when they were new. So... I wouldn't worry too much on that. As long as you know it's moving air... should be ok. The aftermarket units are VERY loud.
