Have a look at my tutorials, especially the section on 'My Xbox turns itself on" Let me know of the results!
My first guess would be the power supply. I had a similar issue where it would power on for a split second and then I got nothing. See if you can swap your PSU with a friends xbox to test it.
ok yeah ill check the power supply thanks guys. how much does it cost in aussie dollars roughly for 1?
well guys i opened up the xbox and it had on the parts with the hazard things that r most likely capacitors are all melted on the sides aye thanks guys so do u reckon that thats it or is that normal there like all brown n gooey like thanks trav
Does it look like it came that way from the factory or does it look damaged!? An actual picture of your one would be nice! Don't you have a camera or a camera phone?
no i dont sorry, thats the only thing i can see on the power supply that im worried about, so thats normal, awe shit i already bought a new power supply a universal one off ebay it said v1 - 1.6 nd that test thing says its a 1.2 or 1.3 ok well when i get new power supply ill check it nd it had better work again!!! it just looks all melted nd shit like that one is in that photo its it normal or not thanks?
it works, the new power supply works go ahead and buy this if ya exbox wont work it was easy to install and everything thanks so much to everyone who helped me out with this one!!
