Original Xbox Repair

Postby myshtuff » Sun Jan 28, 2018 2:15 pm

Does anyone know of any good sites to get info on repairing original Xbox's? For some reason, I can only turn mine off if I unplug it. The main power button doesn't really work anymore, but on occasion it does. Not really sure what's wrong with it. Any help would be great!

I'm not too sure about this problem. Have you checked the clock capacitor? If it has leaked on the traces of the motherboard it could cause problems with the power button. I've heard this can cause units to turn on as soon as they're plugged in. So definitely check it. Also ask around on some Xbox specific forums if you haven't already.
