Xbox is not getting any power!

lol.. it appears so Djboogie.. (I might make afterdawn addict sooner or later) lol.. take it easy

Stjowa, You test the traces the exact same way you tested your fuse.. One lead on one end of the trace the other lead on another end of a trace you might suspect could be broken. If it beeps the connection is good. If it doesn't it's a broken trace. Also you might want to wiggle it a little(the leads) when testing them because the board has a coating on it that can sometimes give a false reading by not making contact.. let me know what happens..

Hey,

I tested nearly every track on the motherboard with a continuity tester, and everything tested fine. (Good tip though Matt).

So, what could the next thing be (Motherboard and Power Supply tested!)? Remember it's like it's dead when I try to turn it on. I mean I know it could be anything, but anything in particular.

Thanks a lot everybody, we keep narrowing it down.

C'mon somebody has to know whats up!

 

Well, we took it to Xbox service and they did say it was the motherboard.

 

At least you found out what was wrong with it. Not much you can do about that unless you have a electrical engineering degree and some testing equipment.. Anyways.. glad I could help out..

I know this is a little late to help stjowa but here is some info for others that may benefit. The problem described here is most likely related to a transistor on the mainboard. I put up a breif page to describe in more detail. http://www.llamma.com/xbox/Repairs/1.6_Xbox_no_power.htm

 

It could be your transister on you motherboard check out the link:

Also they have they have components for you to replace it.
