    Xbox 360 S - power chime, then powers off

    I have a 360 S here. I have a solid amber light on the PSU. If I press the power button, I get a chime and fan spins up, PSU LED turns green, then the unit immediately powers down.

    What should be first steps?

    Re: Xbox 360 S - power chime, then powers off

    I'm a little late, but I think I can help. Usually when a slim board immediately powers on and then right back off, it has something to do with the main 12V rail PWRGD signal. For some reason, the southbridge isn't detecting the 12V PWRGD signal. The PWRGD signal could be missing because of a short on the main 12V rail, a bad HANA which doesn't generates the PWRGD signal when it should, or a bad southbridge that doesn't recognize the signal.

    Keep in mind that it can also be caused by a bad power supply, although that doesn't seem likely, given the fact that the fan spins for a brief second, suggesting there is 12v getting in. I'd start by trying a different PSU and go from there.

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
      by PantherDave
      Hi all!

      I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

      I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

      Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
      by GLISIT
      Hi all,

      TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


      I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

      A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

      XBOX One no power, random.
      by Unspun01
      XBOX One original, not XBOX One S. Has problems turning on.

      Power supply is good. Touch panel is good. Both work in another xbox.

      HDMI and USB ports are fine.

      The last time this XBOX turned on, it had an ERROR 102 so I know it can turn on, and I know it may have a hard drive issue. But the power issue is driving me nuts.

      When power supply is plugged into xbox, there is no response from the XBOX. Cannot power on, or eject. No lights. no sounds, not even a fan twitch. Power supply LED remains orange.

      Voltages are measured all over...

      Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
      by sam_sam_sam
      I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

      One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...
