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.

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!!!

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!

Have a great day TIA!

Can you do a video how to play without a power block cord that you connect to it

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 👍👍

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ?

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.

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 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

Mine keeps repeatedly beeping then turns off after a minute and it doesn’t display anything through the HDMI cord either

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.

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.

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.

Why would my orange light stay on even when there is no power in it
