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.

@maskedamender 6 месяцев назад

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!!!

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!

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

@Ryanboehmer 2 года назад

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!

@peterford9369 8 месяцев назад

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.

.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.

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

I haven't had my xbox hooked up for over a year or 2 . I plugged it in the other day, it started updating, was taking a long time so I walked away, came back about 40 minutes later and it was off. I noticed no light on the power brick. Tried unplugging and everything and still no light on the brick. I took it apart and I was hoping to see puffy capacitors cause I'm sure I can change those but honestly they look ok. Not sure what's up. All the videos on power brick issues are about the orange light issue so im not sure if there's anything I can do to fix it.

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.

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

@PghGameFix 3 года назад

Possibly. Have you inspected the power supply at all? (internal) It should be going to white when connected.

@Bochoman7 2 года назад

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?

@PghGameFix 2 года назад

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.

@jamie8032 2 года назад

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?

@PghGameFix 2 года назад

Probably. If it was in internal xbox issue... the brick light would be on still.

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.

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

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?

@PghGameFix 2 года назад

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

Realistically... a replacement brick is cheaper than sending your brick to me. This is more for the people who can do their own repairs.

@jorgelozano4008 2 года назад

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.

@PghGameFix 2 года назад

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.

@jorgelozano4008 2 года назад

@@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.

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.

@PghGameFix 3 года назад

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.

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.

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.

@PghGameFix Год назад

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.

@@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.

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!

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
