    Xbox One No Power

    I picked up an xbox one locally without any accessories including power adapter etc.

    I picked up the xbox quite cheaply and would like to see if I can get it working.

    It didnt come with a power adapter so i ordered an xbox 360 to xbox one adapter.

    The front panel has no response so i removed the panel along with the ribbon cable, and tried to short the pins to turn it on. I get no reaction from either. I also cannot turn it on using the controller and the power supply doesnt LED does not change colour.

    I'm out of ideas at this point on what could be wrong.

        After Easter, I finally had some time to look into this xbox.

        I took it apart and the pics of the board are attached. At first glance, someone has definitely been in the console before me. It is way too clean and my suspicions were confirmed when there was no thermal paste on the CPU/heat sink.

        Another thing i noticed was a scratch on the underside of the board in pic 3.

        Is there a way to check if the trace wasnt broken by the scratch?

        Other than the scratch, I don't see anything obviously wrong. Thoughts?

          Can you not place your DMM probes between solder point DB2R1 and DB2R3, set to the 200ohm setting, and see if there is continuity? (At least it looks like DB2R1 and DB2R3 are connected by that trace - part of the photo is a bit blurry to tell though)

          That scratch is really deep tho, I wonder if it has affected sub-surface traces

            I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to using the DMM.

            I tried 2 different settings. The first setting i tried setting the resistance to 200 and measured between DBR1 and DBR3. I got a reading of 97.2 ohms.

            The second thing i tried was a direct continuity test. I touched the two points (DBR1 and DBR3) and the DMM beeped, but only for a split second. Once I place the probes and leave them on the points, the DMM no longer beeps.

            Any ideas what that means?

              97.2 is a bit higher than I would think - what are the readings of just the leads touching alone? Are repeat readings consistent? These traces are sometimes designed to have a certain resistance so it may be normal (some else could chime in here) but I would expect it to be fairly close to lead resistance - might be that the trace has been affected. Again, I'm not 100% sure.

                I'll chime in here.

                Can you please re-post a picture of the trace in question? Are you talking about that apparent gauge between FT2R1 and DB2R1?

                To measure, the best way would be to follow the trace to a good solder location (e.g. on the end of a SMT resistor or cap). You would apply some firm pressure with the DMM probe tip to get through the no-clean residue.

                As far as resistance of a trace goes: What spleenharvester (nice name!) really should mean is that the impedance of a trace can be impedance controlled. That is, a net can look like 50 ohms with respect to the reference (ground) plane. A differential pair, for example, can have an impedance of 100 ohms between the + and - legs referenced to GND.

                However, if you are just measuring two points on the same trace it should read close to 0 ohm (depending on the accuracy of your meter), regardless of the trace impedance.

                For a sanity check, set the meter on ohm mode - 200 ohm or less would be good. Measure between DB2R1 and R2R1 closest to the DB2R1 test point.

                  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.

                  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...
