Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: Why is my console shutting off?

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 08:36:50 -0700

Whenever I try to play wolfenstein 2 the new colossus, my Xbox will start the game up and run fine for about 2-5mins and then freezes and shuts off entirely. When it reboots it says the console overheated but the thing is that it only does this when trying to play wolfenstein 2 the new colossus not with any other game even newer ones. I was thinking it might be full of dust but then wouldn't it overheat with any and everything it tried doing

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: Where can I find my serial number

Sun, 28 Jul 2019 05:46:49 -0700

I have a Xbox one x and I need to locate the serial number. There’s a problem however, the machine isn’t powering on and I’ve snapped the back panel off with the serial number on. Is there anywhere else I can find the serial number? Would it be on the motherboard?

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: Dobe exit cooling fan

Dobe sells a small fan section that fits on the back of the scorpio. Is it worth putting one on or does it do more harm than good?

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: Weird eject issue and device control not working

Tue, 26 May 2020 18:45:49 -0700

So this is actually two separate issues:

I am having a strange issue with my One X where the eject button is intermittently not working, but when it is not working, the disc will eject if I push on the front of the top of the case. I would assume there’s some shorting issue going on, does anyone know what part I would need to inspect and/or replace to fix it?
When I received my X back from being repaired by Microsoft, I noticed that the device control feature no longer works. It didn’t bother me enough to send back again for another 2-3 weeks, so I figured now that I have the time I’d fix it myself. It worked before and I used that feature to turn my TV on and off with the Xbox, and now it is not working. It will say that it has recognized the TV and can control it, but it doesn’t actually work. I have tried it with several TVs to the same result, so I know it is an issue with the Xbox.

If anyone has any insight on either of these issues, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: TDP 158 hdmi chip

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 11:59:14 -0700

I was wondering if the HDMI chip is the same in all the xbox. i have the scorpio edition. I am no longer getting a signal from the xbox to the tv. What is the process for replacing this chip? does it just snap out and snap in? Any info would be great. It would be nice if they posted all the part numbers for each edition of the xbox.

thanks

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: structure of wifi on xbox one x and how to remove it

Tue, 18 Sep 2018 10:24:03 -0700

Hi,

I have a few questions:

Why are there two wifi modules and chips on the xbox one x? What is the purpose of each one?
Why does the xbox one x transmit wirelessly despite the unit being off, connected via usb and with the side wifi module disconnected? What is the purpose of such transmission?
Why does the xbox one x use the ancient, hacked and insecure WEP protocol, and is the unit insecure and easily hackable as a result?
Is it possible to disconnect the wifi from the unit? Is it necessary or feasable to remove the wifi chips to do so and if so, how is it done?

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: Tried PSU replacement on XB1X Scorpio, still will not power on.

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 21:10:21 -0700

I tried the Xbox One X (console model 1787) PSU replacement (model 1815) from iFixit this evening and it did not work. Am I looking at a motherboard failure now?

The only reason I am playing around with this is because it is a Scorpio model.

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: Console powers on then back off with light

Sat, 12 Nov 2022 19:42:30 -0700

The Xbox seems to work normally for around 5 seconds before turning off. It can take disks, and the drive seems to run normally. It doesn't display anything before shutting down. Could the Power Supply not be supplying enough power? I looked inside the console, no water damage and the board appears to look fine, no obvious issues. Should I buy another power supply to try?

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition: Would it be possible to convert the one x to m.2?

Sun, 21 Mar 2021 07:45:17 -0700

I have a friend who found the internal only specs and exploded view/X-ray of the mobo of the One X, and I want to install an m.2 drive on the motherboard and get rid of the hdd. At the same time, I need to take it apart and clean it out anyways, and doing this would give me the perfect excuse not to be lazy. Even if it’s not an m.2, being able to convert to anything faster and bigger internally than the stock 1tb Hdd would be ideal. Thanks in advance guys
