xbox 360 power brick green light on when not connected to xbox

A green light indicates a fuse in the power board. I would personally recommend buying a new power brick if possible.

I will get a new power brick.

By power board U mean the Xbox motherboard ? If so than that means the console must be serviced as well .

Just so u know on the power brick it says green light = power good

Do U mean getting a green light when the power brick isn't connected to the console.

And also what of the fan working only and the burning smell

please clarify in detail.

Thanks

when i turn on my xbox, the lights are green on the ring as normal like it should be but screen on the tv is still black. on the power brick the light is green

when it turns off, the power brick stays green and the xbox light flashes green slowly 3 times. I think the problem is the humidity

Hello TheSliceHouse! What model Xbox 360 do you have? If it is the Original Xbox 360 and it overheats the ring of light should flash 2 red lights like this






If you are getting one or more flashing red lights on the console, please use the

Flashing Lights Wizard.



If it's the New model Xbox 360 S it should flash the center light on the power button red.



From what the issue sounds like, I believe you are having an issue with the power brick overheating. When the power brick is in standby mode (console is powered off) the light on the power brick should be orange. When the console is powered up normally the
light on the power brick should be Green. If there is a fault in the power brick ( when the xbox just turns off on it's own with no warning) the light on the power brick should turn red.



Make sure the power brick is in an open area where the vents are not obstructed as there is a fan inside to keep it cool.



Play the console until it shuts off than take a look at the light on the power brick. If it's anything other than green or orange there is an issue with the power brick and you should contact Xbox Customer support for a replacement.

I hope this helps! Please let us know how it goes!

MY xbox power supply shows a green light when it is plugged in the wall only (not in the console yet) when plugged in the console too it shows a green light again but here the Xbox doesn't turn on. It's fan only powers on and runs really loud (burning smell
too). the Xbox doesn't respond. I heard when the Power brick is plugged in the wall only it needs to have an orange light not green.when plugged in the Xbox too then it goes green.

could this be caused by the power supply?

Sounds like a power supply issue

are you sure or is it a CPU issue what of the burning smell from the console when power supply is connected?
