    Xbox 360 original white xenon Power Brick red light


    Sorry I originally put this in the Ireland topic but I don't think it will get answered there.

    I gave my brother my original white xbox 360 a couple of years ago as I

    bought a slim and wanted to see my old 360 being used rather than broke

    in a box.

    I actually had it repaired before I gave it to him.

    Anyway he hardly used it at all since just watched a couple of films on it,

    Now that he is trying to get into gaming on it, it won't fricking work and has this problem.

    When I plug in the xbox 360 the power brick light is orange and as soon

    as I press the power button on the xbox 360 the power brick light turns

    red.

    It's a xenon/xephyr model with a big 16.5 amp power brick.

    I wonder if I unscrewed all the screws from the power brick and tried to clean it out would that help?

    Would it be dangerous?

    Could I end up electrocuting myself or is it safe?

    Has anyone ever tried this?

    Does it work?

    Could it be the console instead of the power brick that's at fault?

    The white xbox 360 original was a major pain in the ass, you didn't even have to use the thing for it to go balls on you.

    :)

    Xbox 360 original white xenon Power Brick red light

    A red light most likely indicates that the power supply is defective.

    There are some steps to try by
    reading this support article    , but I don't think Microsoft replaces original Xbox 360 power supplies anymore. The support forum does not provide guidance on self-repair of Xbox hardware, and it is not recommended. The capacitors inside can definitely shock
    you, especially when unplugged from the mains.

    Your best bet would be to find a replacement power unit somewhere online. Xenon/Zephyr models (released from 2005) use a 203W (12V, 16.5A) power supply. There were several original Xbox 360 revisions, each with a

    differently notched power connector    , so be careful with finding the correct one.

    Actually yes you can. As the Jasper (the third and last version of the original 360) was a much lower power consumption than the previous two versions, it can be powered by any one of the three types of Xbox 360 power bricks.

    The second version was the Falcon and the first was the Xenon.

    Earlier versions of the 360 will not work with the later 360 power brick as they draw too much current.

    PSU - power supply unit

    A Jasper 12.1A PSU will power a Jasper only

    A Falcon 14.2A PSU will power Jasper and Falcon

    A Xenon 16.5A PSU will power Jasper, Falcon and Xenon

    12 volt 16.5 amp power supply with a 12 volt 12.1 amp console.

    [quote user="IceStorm III"]Original XBOX 360 console power supplies and original 360 power input ports are also keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. You cannot physically connect incompatible power supplies and consoles. A 203w Xenon console power brick
    will attach to a Jasper console. A 150w Jasper power brick will not attach to a Xenon console.

    OP, here is the configuration

    [quote user="Dragonball Z"]I am under the assumption that this combination would supply the xbox with too much power and be potentially harmful to the system?[/quote]That's unfortunate, though it's good that you asked.
    Is this correct?
    No, this
    is incorrect.



    The power rating on a power supply is an indication of how much power it can supply, not an indication of how much power it will deliver.



    Original XBOX 360 console power supplies are forward-compatible. The original 203w power supply can power the final generation of Jasper consoles.
