Power issue with Xbox One

The Xbox One drive is like the Xbox 360 disc drive cryptographically "married" to the mainboard of the console. So you can't simply swap out a drive and expect it to work. The software on the drive has to match the encryption of the mainboard.

Thank you for taking the time time to reply to this thread, Reese.

At this point, you would need to test this power supply unit on a different console. If you can reproduce the same results, then this would mean that you power supply unit is what is failing, and you would need to replace it.

However if this power supply unit works on another console of the same model, then you console would be the root of the problem.

Keep in mind that the original Xbox One console is no longer manufactured by Microsoft, nor is the console PSU. As a result, out-of-warranty support is no longer available for this particular product.

This would indicate that the only other option that we would be able to recommend to you on the Xbox Forums, would have to be to upgrade to a new Xbox One of the S or X models.

I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.

I have the original Xbox One, and it loses power when I plug the chord into the xbox, as soon as I do that I hear a tick and the orange light from the power chord turns off.

What is the voltage rating on the PSU, if its 100 - 110v then you have probably blew the PSU, thats why it will be blowing your mains house fuse. A plug adapter is not the only thing you would need for a PSU with those voltage ratings, you would also have
needed a step down transformer to convert 240v UK to 110v US.

Since is a electronic device, and the liquid entered to inside, probably something damaged inside, like CPU or motherboard or disc. You should look for a repair. (The warranty (if you have it) will not cover for this.
