Xbox turns on and off three times flashing red( or orange cant tell) and green HELP!

Ok so ive had this xbox(1.6) for awile and one day I plugged it in and I heard a pop. I opened it up sadly to see the power supply died. I ordered a new power supply and plugged it in. When I turned it on it turned on and off three times and I have no idea what that ment. ANY help would be awesome. Thanks

 

Did you ever switch cases? Like put your 1.6 mobo into an older 1.1-1.5 case??

Also did you get the right version PSU? You might have blown a cap or something too. Verify you indeed got a 1.6 psu. Then go over your board looking for black marks, or places where solder has melted. Check all the caps too. Make sure nothing is grounding out anywhere. The on off shit is called fragging btw.

 

Is there ANY way to fix this.

 

Ya there is, did you read my post or just get impatient and post again?

There are 100 different things that cause fragging, which is why I asked for more info, if you can't see that, then go play your broken xbox. Put some effort into this huh?

 

Well I dont know if its like switching cases but I took overything out of the case to paint it and stuff and then put it back in and thats when it popped and the power supply burnt out.

 

Did you follow that link I left for you and check to see if that collector is screwed. That is a common problem with 1.6's.

Other than that it sounds like when you put stuff back in, it wasn't in right or something grounded out. Was the PSU fuse popped?

 

Yea it did and how do you check to see if the collector is bad?

 

Could be a power supply problem.....Believe it or not, but a 1.6 motherboard will frag if a 1.5 power supply is used....

 

To test the collector, use a multimeter and set to DC volts, it should be 3.25 volts approximately. Any less than 3v and it is faulty Did you verify that your psu was a 1.6 psu yet, like I mentioned in my first post? Do that first. You might have bought the wrong one. If you did, you need a new one. I have a 1.6 psu if you need one, lemme know. be about 20 shipped in US.

 

All right ill try and see if the psu is a 1.5 thanks for the help guys.

 

I am experiencing the same problem when I tried to solder my mod chip to the bottom d0 point. It used to be soldered to the top 1.

 

@abuzar: You don't know what you are talking about, so don't post in here. Just because both are fragging, doesn't' mean you are experiencing anywhere NEAR the same problem.

 

See the problem I meant was Fragging which is a problem for me and the traces are something else bu the same problem I meant fragging
