There are very few Xbox problems I can't fix.

However you haven't even given enough info for a wild ass guess. You will need a couple of different sizes of Torx security bits to open it.

Does it not read games? Does it not boot up? Does the boot screen freeze? Is there an error code? Does the LED flash colours?

Throw me a scrap here, and maybe I can point you in the right direction. 'Broken' is a tad vague.

Nothing" No noise, no hum, no lights? Just a big black brick?

If so, your internal power supply may be fried. Any power surges or brownouts, lightning storms lately? Could be a fuse in the supply, could need a new PS.

Looking for more details.

Make sure the AC plug is pushed all the way in..in the back of the console.

Maybe the plugs bad..or the switch.

Did you try plugging it into another AC outlet..?

There is a fuse inside that may have blown out.

Did you try both buttons..the drawer opener and then the power.

Could be the switch, but in over 70 Xboxes, I've never seen a dead switch. Seen a number of blown PSU's though.

Anyone know the exact location of the PSU fuse that usually blows?

Click to expand...

I could of swore I saw a Fuse right near the PSU when I opened up my older Xbox to clean out any dust.


I saw a website once that totally showed what the Xbox's inners looked like.
I think it was explaining the differences in Hard drives or how to mod them..
I can't find the site again though.. :confused:

You will need a Torx20 and a Torx10 to open your Xbox.

Like people have already stated, it is most likely a PSU issue, otherwise you would get a error code from either the system or the eject-button LEDs.
