Posted August 1, 2015 My stepdad just bought a couple original Xboxes for a pretty good price, and apparently both of them worked, but one just doesn't turn on. Pressing the power button results in absolutely nothing other than the button clicking. I would really like it if someone could help me out, since this would mean that I can't get an Xbox out of the deal, which I would REALLY like.

Posted August 1, 2015 Open'er up, check the power supply, start checking voltages across the output pins. Should be 12v, 5v, and I think 3.3v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's been thrown around a lot the mechanism that the power button is attached to may not be correctly hooked up any more. Try canoodling with that. |PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Posted August 1, 2015 I do think it might be the power supply. I hear that high pitch sound that indicates shit is dying (almost like a pew, I guess, when I unplug it). I seem to recall that's normal on the original, heck my PSU in my rig does that when you shut it down Just check all the cables make sure it's all plugged in, also short across the solder points on the power button, just to rule out a possibly faulty button.

Posted August 2, 2015 The PCB must be clean, the cables well attached. You could check the power in the circuits with a multimeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah the Original Xbox was notorious for that. When I was in MN I used to re-cap them all the time. There was a Mod Shop there too called the Llama that I used to get the parts from when I would mod them. See I'm a 21st century digital boy,I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys.
