Another one back from the dead, nice! I recently bought two myself off of eBay to see how far I can get with them. One only needed a new HDMI port and is working again, the other one is still playing games with me. Beep on-5 seconds-Beep off. All standby voltages are there and all switched voltages come up for 5 seconds (as far as I can tell). So far I found no shorts anywhere (including ethernet and HDMI retimer). The only hint it's giving me is that the fan doesn't even wiggle a bit when the console is turned on (which it does on pretty much all repair videos I've seen). Tested the fan separately and it works fine. It's a fun hunt, although at this point it's looking like donor board territory, assuming this comes down to a southbridge/GPU fault. Keep inspiring me to keep digging! :-)
Just found your channel and subscribed. Really enjoy your videos! The one s is my favorite console to work on. Where can I get that heat sink you are using? Thanks and please keep the videos coming!
I'm not sure. As far as I can determine, if any of the run power rails do not come up in a timely fashion, it shuts back off. Specifically the CPU and memory power rails. I have only recently started working on XBox.
Hi,that repair was outstanding,i have an xbox1 s with the exact same problem and 2 add more the repair shops over here cant find the probkem, man i wish you could help me!
can i use a dc electronic load to discharge caps in the power supply instead of a capacitor discharge tool - i know you have both but i am just getting started and have a use for a dc electronic load and the 30 dollars for the cap tool is more i could spend on the load if I can just use the dc load -
The voltage across the main filter caps can reach 400V. That will exceed the capability of many dc loads. You can use a simple power resistor to discharge if you insulate the leads well. You might google that and see what comes up.
