While I was four wheeling today I found what was left of an Xbox. The motherboard looked okay but the power supply was trashed and I need to see if the motherboard at the least still works.
All I need to at least see is the front LED to go green and for me to at least get a video signal for now. The power cable that connects the PSU to the motherboard contains mostly 12V, 3.3V, 5V and ground leads as two other wires (PWRGOOD and PWRON). How hard would it be to substitute an ATX power supply for the broken Xbox power supply?
Would it make things easier if the first test (does the thing even still turn on and output video?) did not require use of the power button?
