I need help with my power brick

Ehlamin · Dec 24, 2019

I've been having an issue with my power supply since yesterday. I was playing the game with my friend and my Xbox just shut off like it has been for the past few months. I thought it was nothing, so I tried to turn on my xbox and load back into the game.
It shut off again. I tried turning it on again after that it wouldn't turn on. Just a reminder this is a power supply that I ordered off of Amazon because my original power supply had the same exact issue. I tried to restart my supply by unplugging everything.
Here's exactly what it'll do, when I plug my supply into an outlet, the light turns on yellow which is normal. When I plug the other side into the console, the light will turn green for a second then back to yellow. Normally, it will turn green for about 10-15
seconds, the fan will run and then turn back to yellow and the fan will stop. Then I'm ready to play. Ever since then I turn on my xbox and it literally shuts off after the chime when you push the power button. I unscrewed the bottom and looked inside, everything
seemed okay. I took out the fan and cleaned out the black dust and put the fan back. I tried the same procedure and it still turned off instantly. Before I put on the outer shell of the supply, I realized every time the supply was hooked up to the outlet and
the console there was this very faint "eeeeeeeeeee" sound coming from it. I don't know how to fix this and I don't want to buy a third replacement since I don't have that much money.

If you have the power brick, all you need is the lead from the plug to the power brick.

Found the problem... it was the power brick. It had a solid orange light which I didn't know turns white when the Xbox is turned on. Talk to an Xbox tech over the phone & she told me that the light has to turn white when the Xbox power button is pushed.
Used my son's power brick & the Xbox works fine. Just need to go buy a new power brick/electrical cord.

Thanks for all the help!!

Got a new power brick today now my console works,if your power brick stays orange and white light comes on for 2-3 seconds and goes of then you have a faulty power brick you need to get it exchanged.

I already tried this my friend. Didn't help me. Only thing I still have to do is swap my power brick with a friend's power brick. If that doesn't work, then I'm stuck
