Xbox Series S: Xbox Series S keeps shutting off

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 16:51:11 -0700

My Xbox series s keeps turning off at random moments. It can be after an hour of gaming, or literally 2 seconds after I turn it on. I’ve tried plugging it into different outlets, factory resetting, leaving it unplugged for an hour, still no luck. Not sure if I should buy another power cord, but it doesn’t look physically damaged. Not sure what I should do at this point. Please help.

Xbox Series S: Why is the Xbox Series S power light flicker and then turning off?

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 16:55:31 -0700

I'm trying to repair an Xbox Series S. When I try to turn on the console, the power light turns on for a second, and then shuts off. Other than that, the console does show any visible response to pressing the power button. The fan doesn't even attempt to start spinning up. I've tried booting the console in safe mode, but it gives the same result. At first, I thought that it might be a power supply issue, but replacing the power supply didn't do anything to fix it.

Xbox Series S: Missing diodes near the HDMI port. Can anyone ID them?

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:03:05 -0700

I have some missing (what looks like) diodes under the HDMI port.

They are small, black rectangles. There is a line on them like a diode. There is a small marking on them that looks like a "7"

There are 8 of them in total on the board. They are on pin 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12.

I am missing the ones on 1, 3, 7, and 9, although I think all 8 of them are the same.

They are marked "EG###" on the silkscreen.

Can someone ID?

EDIT: I found the schematics and they show part number M1015860-001 but Googling the part number returns nothing useful.

I would rather not have to buy a whole broken motherboard to salvage these parts if I can help it.

Xbox Series S: Need help identifying Buck ic

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 22:26:50 -0700

I have an Xbox series s that was no power. It had a short on the 12v line and after probing around and a couple other non related stuff I had found that a buck ic was shorting the 12v. I could only get 1 very terrible picture of it before removing it and at the same time removing the markings.

Xbox Series S: Does anyone know the exact parts I need to replace these? Xbox Series

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 21:38:05 -0700

Very coroded capacitor, unfortunately, even just a bit of ipa and a q tip the corroded component and pads have come away from the board. Making an easy job, a lot more difficult.

Xbox Series S, turns on then immediately shuts off. I guess this is the cause.

I do have a spare Xbox one board I could potentially get these from of that's workable

Appreciate the help.

Xbox Series S: good fan replacement option - sold item is not fitting

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 15:11:22 -0700

I bought that fan replacement :
Xbox Series S Fan Assembly
but it doesn't fit the XBox series S, one of the foot is almost 1cm off from the original one. Does anyone have a link to a good replacement fan?
I had sent it to Microsoft but they returned it unrepaired and have been a nightmare to deal with since then :)

Xbox Series S: My console boots to Xbox logo but then boots to black screen

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 20:38:57 -0700

When i got home in the morning, i went to turn on my Xbox to watch youtube and for some reason it booted to the Xbox logo but stayed on that for a few minutes longer than usual before booting to a black screen. All i could do on my controller is hold the xbox button and turn off the console, my controller, or restart. I attempted to restart and same issue. I tried to troubleshoot the console but it will only get to the screen before turning off, i cannot control the screen either. I have unplugged the console from the wall, the tv, and pulled the cables from the console itself. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Xbox Series S: Why does my series s says Ethernet cable is plugged in when it's not?

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 15:04:53 -0700

My Xbox series s won't connect to the Internet, I usually run it on a network/Ethernet cable. Then the other day it looses Internet connection while playing starfield. I reset the console by unplugging it for 30 min. Didn't fix it. Unplugged the Ethernet and was just gonna use the wifi, but it acts like a the Ethernet is still plugged into it when it's not. Wont let me go offline or use wifi.

Xbox Series S: Storage expansion adapter but with M.2 from a series X

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 12:16:07 -0700

So, I'm sure this is gonna be a doozy since the systems are still somewhat new and the idea of an adapter for their expansion slots is even newer. To make a long story short, we had a series X get completely destroyed, being a bit of a tech guy I opened it up to see what could be salvaged and just to poke around in an expensive device. I salvaged the M.2 storage module since it was completely untouched and thought maybe I could use it in a future PC build and just reformat it, if possible. Then I discovered people had begun selling adapters to put the same size of M.2 into these systems without paying microsoft's exorbitant prices and here I am. I ordered one, put the card in it, made sure everything was set up right and the system makes no acknowledgement of it's existence. The card still gets quite warm as if it is reading but the system, again, makes no ackowledgement of it. Confused, hoping someone has any insight on the issue.

Xbox Series S: Why doesn't my Xbox make a sound when it turns on/off?

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 10:07:59 -0700

Usually the Xbox Series S makes a little sound when it turns on and another little sound for when it turns off. One day I brought it to my grandma's house to play with and once I came back it stopped making that sound. Is there a way to fix this or am I stuck like this forever?
