Xbox One Power Supply Issue - Light Flicker Analysis

I made this video to hopefully help other viewers with their Xbox One. I had an issue that was hard to identify initially, and all tests initially were inconclusive. It was only by chance did I come across a very light flicker coming from my power supply, indicating a short or grounding issue, I suspect. Got a new power supply, and the issue was resolved. Hopefully this helps people with a similar issue
Please note, aside from getting a new power supply, this does not provide a fix for your existing power brick. As I did not find any info on this issue online, I made the video showing some of the steps and tips I went through, in case you happen to have tried the same thing. For those who want to see the light flicker in action and want to skip the troubleshooting description, please go to around the 6:50 mark. Hope this helps you all in the future.

@bearmanroar7117 3 года назад

This is the only video that actually shows the power supply and the light indicator on it and you easily say what’s wrong with the console and what you did to get it to work. Thank you I’m gonna open up my power supply and there’s apparently these capacitors that bulge when bad and I think that’s what is wrong with our power supplies. I’m sure urs is fixed by now tho! Thanks

@NexusAuto 3 года назад

Thanks for that great feedback! Glad the video is helpful. I did end up buying a new one as you see in the video, and I fully intend to open up the old one. Just haven't bothered yet LOL. I've read the same...seems the capacitors are the number one culprit. Let me know how it goes!

YESSSSSS THANK YOU! My light is orange but has a very slight flicker, Xbox One either won't make any sound, or it half chirps and the power light won't flash, no matter how many times I attempt to boot it, only chirps about a 3rd of the times. Going to get a new power supply cause I think that'll resolve my issue, and this video makes me feel like I'm not throwing away $35 to solve the wrong problem.

@NexusAuto 4 года назад

@its_aden8769 3 года назад

My old one that came w the Xbox can turn it on and everything but turns off after 10 min and the power brick part with the two holes that connects to the Xbox gets really hot. I bought a new one and after a couple months it doesn’t work. The light goes on when I connect to the outlet but if I connect it to the Xbox the orange light flashes on and off. Idk the problem but it might be because I leave the power brick on my carpet while my Xbox is on the stand.

@NexusAuto 3 года назад

Being on the carpet makes a difference and can cause it to overheat. I don't know for sure, but this may sound like an Xbox issue, unfortunately. Honestly, may be the best bet to get it checked out by Microsoft or independent repair shop.

@fyremunky 4 года назад

I have the exact same issue, same console. I knew it was the power supply... I opened it, and didn’t appear to have any Apparent problems. It has 2 capacitors. I’ve had issues with power, but most are resolved by removing all peripheral inputs, plugging the power supply directly into the wall (then Back to extensions)... but I think it’s dead now.

@NexusAuto 4 года назад

Interesting. Obviously, there is something going on, but looks like it is not visibly apparent. I should have opened my old one, just to look and see if I can visually identify the issue. But sounds like you are pretty much in the exact same boat as I was

@stephenlodge3547 2 месяца назад

If you have it plugged into the Xbox but unplugged from the wall you can press the power button to the Xbox and it'll use the reserve power, it does that in case of power outages or blown surge protectors to help save your information

@arturoacosta117 3 года назад

Great video man! Just had this problem, saw a comment on another video about a dude that just hit his brick and worked, did that and it worked! Not sure for how long though. Which aftermarket supply do you recommend?

@NexusAuto 3 года назад

LOL that is awesome. Sometimes, when in doubt, punch it out! :D Who knows? Maybe it will be permanent. I have seen stranger things. Unfortunately, I don't have one to recommend. The one I bought came from Amazon, but they no longer list it, so i can't even recommend it. Best advice I can give, look at the reviews and look for people talking about it being quiet. Some can be quite loud, some have been reported as louder than the xbox itself! So see if you can find one that has a lot of purchases, and see if there is a lot of failure rates, and see if it is quiet.

@ohwin5069 4 года назад

Exactly the same issue with he slight flicker it's so faint you have to stare at it to see it, tried all the soft power resets hard resets, pressing eject button 10 times etc i even took mine apart (it did need a clean so did that while open) not sure if anyone had the same thing but my Xbox does make a slight beep sound when I press the power button or eject button, like its trying to turn on but can't. Ordered a new power brick after finding this video, will let you know if this works but it's certainly sounding like it, thanks for posting!

I think so. I can't say 100% without being there, but sounds like the power supply may be the issue. If you can get one, you can try it and see. Best case scenario, you bought the supply and everything works..worst case scenario, the power supply doesn't work and you know the console is the issue, and you're out the cost of the power supply (although sometimes you can even get a refund on the new power supply depending on where you buy it from)

That sounds like a bad power brick. It can also be the console, but 9 times out of 10, it would be the brick itself. Do you have a friend with a power brick that you can try?

@Br3ttBork3r 4 года назад

mine turns off when i plug it into the console. if its unplugged and plugged into wall it can hold power all day long but second i plug it into console it turns off. Im thinking its a load issue.

@NexusAuto 4 года назад

Certainly sounds like it! Can't say for sure, but if the console causes it to turn off, sounds like it is not handling the load. There is an off chance that something is shorted in the console causing the load issue, but I would think that is far less likely.

Do you recall what off-brand model you purchased from Amazon? I think I'm having the same issue, so I reckon I'll try out your method. My concern is that I've been reading a lot of complaints from folks whose replacement bricks run into issues shortly after they're purchased. So, if you've had uninterrupted success with your model, I'd appreciate the guidance.

@NexusAuto 4 года назад

When I was researching, trying to locate the issue on my xbox , this issue came up a few times, and I've read that it can be either the power supply (bad capacitor) or the console itself (won't boot, possibly bad harddrive). Do you possibly know someone with an xbox that you can try the power supply with? If not, I would say better to buy a power supply and try that, vs buying a new xbox. Worse case scenario, you're out $20-ish

Ok, so I'm going through something similar w my Xbox One. Original Power supply died on me so I bought a new, Game Stop brand one. Got home, hooked it up... Mine stays red with a green blink each second. Xbox still does not power on. Any ideas??

@NexusAuto Год назад

Hmmm. Ok, this comes down to a couple of things. As simple as it is, either the power supply you bought from gamestop is bad (which I've seen happen), or the issue is with the Xbox one itself. First, to be sure, make sure your Power Supply is connected directly to a wall power outlet, and not a surge protector. What happens if the power brick is not hooked up the the Xbox? Any issues or blinking? If so, you may have a shorted brick. Otherwise, I would say to bring it to gamestop and try and exchange it as defective. They'll either replace it or test it. If they test it and it works, then you know somethings wrong with the Xbox. If they just replace it, then you try the new one and you'll get an answer that one. That's probably the easiest way instead of pulling out a multimeter and start testing it directly.

Unfortunately, I cannot say directly without being there. I would say, off the top of my head, that either 1. the new brick is a lemon, or 2. the xbox one itself is no good. Is it possible to swap your brick? Also, make sure you are hooked up straight to the wall outlet, and not to a surge protector.

this problem made me extremely confused. I was playing a game on it one time then it just... turned off.

I bought another power supply. Played one day and the next I got a white and orange flicker again from the power supply. Could the xbox itself be causing a short and making the power supply go bad? Thanks. And if it is, what could it be?

@NexusAuto 2 года назад

Yep, the xbox one can be causing the brick to short out. As for the cause, there are many things, including a bad transistor on the board (or any other bad component). From my research at the time of this video, a short at the wiring just behind the power brick inlet on the xbox seemed to be a common issue, but I don't know if that is the cause for sure.

If so, plug it directly into the wall, as surge protectors are known to cause issues. Otherwise, you may need to get the supply checked at GameStop or get your Xbox tested.
