    Xbox One - No Power

    Hi all,

    Interesting Xbox One problem here (older Phat version).

    When it first came to me, it would usually turn on then straight off. Then it turned on and worked fine, with a grinding fan.

    Now it doesn't turn on at all (no chime). When the PSU is plugged in, it goes white; there's a buzzing noise from the CPU Vreg area for about 10 seconds; then it powers straight down.

    I notice now that the fan seems to be dead (12V at the connector but only 1/4 spin). Would this cause this kind of behaviour?

    I've tested with a different power supply, same shit.

    Cheers

    Also worth noting as well that I've tried applying light pressure to the SB and APU, it doesn't change the behaviour.

      is the fan stiff?
      if it is, fix it, the system may be watching the rotation for safety.

        Okay so it turns out I was wrong before - the 10s on/off thing when the PSU is first plugged in seems to be normal.

        When the eject button is pressed it now powers on, but hard shuts down the second it hits dashboard. The power button doesn't seem to be working. The fan does spin during this, it just doesn't sound very happy.

          well it could be the fan, or the power to the fan.
          you still didnt answer the question - if you flick the blades - does it spin freely?

            Yes it does spin freely. I'm going to try a different fan now.

              Tried different fan, still shutting down. Tried different XB1 HDD, sits at loading screen forever. With the old HDD, it sometimes shuts down even before dashboard.

              Power seems to be completely stable with no HDD plugged in.

                Okay so I completely wiped the HDD and rebuilt it with OSU1. Seemed promising, stayed on during setup, then died as soon as it hit dashboard again. I assume this is going to be some sort of weird APU thing?

                    PSU is known good from my other console. Exhibits same behaviour with both PSUs I have.

                    EDIT: It just stayed on the dashboard for maybe 10 seconds longer than it usually would, let me move around a bit before dying in the same way.

                      Okay I'm fairly sure this is an APU or RAM chip fault now as I've noticed the display sometimes artifacts for a split second before losing power. Ah well, was worth a shot.

                        Disclaimer - I'm new to this and learning.

                        I'd be curious to monitor the CPUCORE, GPUCORE, MEMCORE and NBCORE core voltages with an oscilloscope or decent multimeter. Going from the symptomatic behavior of PCs (this is essentially a laptop) I'd expect that the Xbox would freeze / reboot and provide an error code if there was an APU / GPU / memory error rather than shutdown (unless over temp - but it would shutdown and on restart there's still an error message - AFAIK).

                          As it happens I work at a company that does board-level repair on PS4 motherboards - often random power shut downs are caused by APU issues in these machines, and since both are Jaguar-based I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens in the XB1 too. The way that it shuts down at dash reminds me of failing PC graphics cards, that appear fine but die as soon as a driver is loaded.

                          I'd be tempted to look at the core voltages you described, but tbh, I'm just not good enough at board-level repair to understand what's happening!

                            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.

                            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 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...

                            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...
