Xbox One X: Console is not turning on but has power to USB ports?

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 07:52:36 -0700

So my Xbox One x is not turning on. I'm pretty tech savvy and can't seem to find a problem. It still has power to the USB ports and the controller vibrates when I plug it up. I took a power supply out of a working Xbox One X and it will would not turn on. I tried hitting all the buttons, turning it on with controller and putting a disc in it(didn't take the disc) none of these things turned it on. Anyone ran into this and could give some input? Thanks!

Xbox One X: Is it possible to replace xbox one x psu with an ATX psu?

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 20:27:27 -0700

I want to replace the internal psu on the xbox one x with an atx psu that you'd use on a PC.

I can see by the teardown video that the internal psu connects to the motherboard via some kind of proprietary connection, would it be possible to somehow connect the required wires from an atx psu to that motherboard power connection point? Perhaps you could dismantle the xbox psu and use the wires from inside it (connecting to the proprietary part) to solder the atx wires to.

I know if you could somehow work past the proprietary connection point, an atx psu would definitely be able to power an xbox considering it's been done to previous generations without any problems. Thanks for considering :)

Xbox One X: Why is my Xbox One X fan over spinning?

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 13:58:37 -0700

So I got my Xbox One X yesterday. After I unboxed it and set it up, it was working good. I powered it off after about an hour of use, and this morning I powered it on, to hear what sounded exactly like a Jet engine. I was confused because I live in the middle of no where, and realized it was my Xbox fan. I quickly shut it down and unplugged it. I decided to return it to the store as a faulty product but they told me they could not give me my money back, and there was not a technical warranty on it. So now my option is to open it, and see about maybe replacing the fan? I have heard of other faulty units like mine, but there is nothing I can do to return it.

Xbox One X: Xbox One X wifi/bluetooth removal

Sat, 30 Nov 2019 09:47:21 -0700

Before i jump at buying the X, can anyone answer whether I can remove the internal wireless chips on the console to play with wired net and pad? This is possible with the Xbone, wondering if anyone who has voided their warranty could test it for me?

If possible i'd like to know if it's just the wifi chip on the side needing removal or the front chip too.

Please don't respond with the console emits rf inside etc or why microwave pulse is harmless, that's not the response im looking for. Thanks

Xbox One X: HDMI retimer chip replacement

I am attempting to replace the retimer chip. Even with my hot air station at its highest temp, the chip will not unsolder. Any suggestions?

Nigel, it is a cheap one from Amazon. I am even questioning if the iron is even getting hot enough. Can you recommend a reasonable system?

Xbox One X: Power Arcing when plugging in cable.

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 19:19:53 -0700

When plugging in my power cable, I can hear electrical arcing. When the plug is moved, it stops in certain positions. I then hear two quite internal beeps. I assume an internal power signal. After the arcing has happened, the Xbox won’t turn on for several minutes. I assume it’s gone into some surge protection mode. Can anyone confirm this and would changing the power model fix the issue?

Xbox One X: Xbox One X No Signal/ Black Screen replacing HDD or Re-Timer Chip

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 17:06:27 -0700

Hello all, I am working on fixing an Xbox One X that has No Signal but powers on. I see that there could be two possible fixes one being the Internal HDD which I already have removed or it could be the HDMI Re-Timer Chip. I am wondering if I purchase a HDD from Xbox One X HDD and Bracket if I would need to have it programmed or if it will be plug-n-play. I see the description says it may need to be programmed but the customer support page says they are not able to answer technical support questions so I was lead here. Thank you in advance for all of the help and responses.

Best Regards,

Jordan

Xbox One X: Xbox One X powers up for a few seconds and then turns off.

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 22:25:55 -0700

I bought a Xbox One X from a coworker knowing it was power surged from a storm. It was getting zero power. Replaced the internal power supply. Now it only beeps when you press the power button, or it will try and turn on for a few seconds and then turn off. Fan never cuts on. Motherboard looks fine as far as I can tell. I haven’t taken the heat sink off to look under it. When it turns on there is also no display. I’ve seen people post about this on multiple forms and sites, but I have not found a fix. I have tried multiple wall plugs and power cords also.

Xbox One X: Looking for Spares: XBOX One X Front USB Cable Type 2

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 16:58:53 -0700

Morning!

I am struggling to find a part for my Xbox One X. I upgraded it to an SSD but I hooked the front USB Port/Sync Button cable when I removed the top case and the cable is now pretty much ruined.

I found on Ebay but with the global pandemic nobody in the US is shipping to South Africa. I know there are 2 types of this cable and I need a Type 2, similar to the images I have included as the snap connector is slightly different between the 2 versions depending on which motherboard model you have.

Anybody know where I can get these parts?

Xbox One X: Xbox One X Crashing to Dashboard

Thu, 31 Dec 2020 01:18:52 -0700

Hiya All,

Im hoping anyone can help me out as I am out of ideas what to do with the box of junk which is on my desk at the moment.

Its a One X 1 Tb Model 1787 which i have bought via Marketplace (seller claimed everything ok...) which in various games keeps crashing to the Xbox Dashboard.

This happens somewhere between 10 or 15 minutes ingame

What have I tried?

Replacing Harddisk, tried 2 different drives.

Replacing Sata Cable

Replacing PSU

Re-Applying thermal paste

Multiple Hard en Soft resets of the console

But none of this seems to fix the issue…

While replacing the disk i used the latest OSU1 downloaded from Microsoft.

These problems were also present on older updates.

Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction to get this resolved?

Thanks a lot!
