    Old xbox replacement power supply...

    Hi!

    I have been offered, by one of my friends, an old Xbox (classic).

    Unfortunately it's one of the Xbox which power supply was faulty and for which ms was providing what I think was an arc fault interrupter instead of the regular power cord.

    Has anybody used replacement power supplies found on places likes Ebay and were you satisfied with the quality?

    Thank you!

    Nick

      The only problem with the original psu was the directly soldered input connector with no other mount point the the solder joint.
      Solder joints can`t stand mechanical forces very well, so they break and due to the higher resistance of an cold solder joint the whole thing does arc into a fire.

      To avoid this happening, simply resolder the mains plugs solder joints and provide some mechanical strengthening by applying some kind of epoxy to the plug`s casing.

          Thank you very much gonzo0815!

          I had heard about resoldering the connectors but the glue is a nice touch (especially since I read that some people were still have the problem of the soldering coming lose after repairing them)...

          Thank you!

              apply ca around the edges and let it seep under the jack.
              hit it with zip kicker.
              good luck ever removing it again!

                  I resoldered and hot glued mine. Still going strong!

                      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...

                      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.

                      Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
                      by sam_sam_sam
                      I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

                      I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

                      klipsch kda-500 amplifier suitable power supply capacitor replacement ?
                      by r2digital
                      I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...

                      Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
                      by JimBanville
                      The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
                      Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
                      I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
                      I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...
