Cheapo Tech: Fix Xbox 360 Slim Power Adapter/Brick Red Light Issue
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- If you suddenly can't power up your Xbox 360 slim, and the power brick shows red light indicator (it should be either orange or green), then you need to replace the power adapter, or reset it. Try resetting first before replacing. It's very easy to do. Follow these instructions. If still not working, then open it up and clean the dust inside.
2:00 skip all the talking and get right to it
my heart sank when i saw it wad red thank you fot helping me
Hahahaha
I just put a USB controller and my Xbox ring blinks I did not understand. It happened again and again. And now it not turns on. I checked the brick was having *no* light so im stuck. Please help me
That once happened to me but I plugged in a usb extension cable (male to female cable) and then plugged an old tablet running Android version 4 and then left it for a bit and then I couldn't turn it on. So I unplugged the power brick and plugged it back in again and then it worked. Hope this helps.
@@BenjyyYT bro that was so old i just didn't plug it properly 💀
To clean adapter we should have to open it? Reply me plz
Soo what if you bought a new brick and your Xbox still keeps dinging DINGING to shut off it doesn't like before but what I see it does is it won't eject the disc when it does make the noise? Could it be the Xbox wire behind the faceplate problem
Im having the exact same issue, did you ever find a fix?
no not yet time to get another console PS4
Bro ligit u saved my Xbox thank u so much
Thank you so much..its work...❤😘
hi dude hope u get this thank u sooooo much it worked I am going to like each one of ur vids
Made a four minute video basically asking me "did you try unplugging it and plugging it back again"
Shut up.
Listen folks, i used to do electronics so let me give you some tips.
-firstly the electronics these days have a computer chip, if it detects a problem somewhere it will either shut itself down or go in standby mode and will keep doing so until you reset the power brick by turning it off at the wall.
-unplug everything and wait a good 5 minutes, 5 minutes for a power supply in this case is needed as the xbox power supply holds a large current in it's capacitors, even when unplugged capacitors actually are still supplying voltage and need a while in some cases to deplete that power. Now if this does not work then you may need a new power brick, but please note, the xbox itself tells the power brick whether to turn on or not, so it could be in the xbox itself.
-As this guy says, sometimes it's all dust, as the unit sucks in cool air, dust is also sucked into it and can block the heatsinks to the GPU & CPU, if you catch it in time it's all good, if not then you may have cooked them both, generally the solder joints of the GPU & CPU disconnect and not the GPU or CPU are cooked.
In most cases with most electronic parts it's a dry solder joint, the problem is where is it, it could take a long time looking at each part and you need like a microscope, if found you can see the hairline crack, sometimes looking at the solder joints and seeing if they are dull is good enough.
GPU means Graphics Processing Unit (the video chip in other words)
CPU means the Computer Processing Unit ( the chip that controls the whole lot).
Hope this just enlightens people who don't know much about electronics.

Sdrf Drt same
Sdrf Drt but now it working BTW my Xbox is limited editions too but very old about 5years

1000 Subscriber With . no videos

You have to open the power adapter and clean the light
wahay it didnt work!!!! Rip my life :))
open the power brick and clean the powerbrick with air pressure
DanScooterEdits why don't you just buy you a new power brick
DanScooterEdits 8
DanScooterEdits my one turned on then when it finished loading it turned off I will have to try use my old one
how bout solid orange light but still can't turn on
xbox 360 e
It lights in orange, but if i turned it on the light is turning off together with the Xbox. It does mean that i need to change my adaptor?
How bout orange light keep coming off
Mine does the same
Mines doing the same now
Same
i just bought a new power adapter and it's showing red
CrxzyyEditz same.

Then your problem is internal capacitors in the xbox not power brick
Thanks, I think it was the dust in by fans causing problems
doen't work for me. I have my power brick for 3 days so it's impossible to get dusty so quickly, it still shows red light
Me too did you get any solutions?
WHAT? That doesn't even make sense how does that just instantly fix it
i tried this a BILLION times and it did not work i even let it cool down for 6 MONTHS and still crap someone help me please i miss the xbox intro
Search up the intro
oriso gaming 😂😂
Is this a troll video?!
The compressed air trick worked instantly. The fan was absolutely bogged with decades of dust buildup. It'd light up yellow as normal, then it'd send power upon bootup then instantly shut off. There must be a processor in the power brick that senses fan RPM & if it doesn't see anything right away it'll shut off to prevent any risk of fire from overheating. You'll need a torx bit screw driver to open the box & 2 different bit sizes of phillips heads to get all the way to the fan and then go wild with the compressed air to clean out all the crud. Also I put some air on the plug for the fan in case if there was any resistance there. Then after it was all put back together it fired up again just like it did day 1
I disconnected the brick from the wall and xbox but it still glowed orange
And didn't work
Same
Blow into the brick
It turns orange when the console is off
Can u help me when I turn on my Xbox it turns off and on and when I look at my brick it stays orange when its plunged into the Xbox and when I turn it on it turns green and back to orange PLZ HELP
I have fixed it guys! I took apart the brick and looked for damage, no damage, the end was already cut off and the wires has solder on them because I use it as a 12 volt power supply, so here is what I did, first with the power off, connect the red and blue wires together, then connect the grey wire to one of the yellow wires, then apply power and watch the LED light, it should blink red then blink yellow then blink red then blink yellow a few times, once it stops flashing, it should stay yellow, then unplug the power brick, wait for the LED to go off once you unplug it, then disconnect all wires and reapply power, the light should be yellow, then plug it into the console and it should turn green, if not, repeat until it works! I do not know what color wires of the connector though so just search google for "Xbox slim power brick connector pinout" and you should find it, I thought it would be broken but it is really an easy fix, just use something like small pieces of broken paper clips to join the connections if you do not have proper test wires or bare wires available
ELECTROHAXZ can you please help me out !? I want to follow your instruction step by step so can you please help me

ZR1_FTW same here bro
I just bought a 360 to play all the old games back when I was a teenager, I was going crazy but I love these old school consoles. YOU HAVE to plug things in order/ first the plug to the 360 then the power cable TO the power brick AND ONLY THEN can you plug into the wall/electric current. If it does not work , repeat until it works. Thank you for this vid ! I was goin crazy and feeling upset that I was playing normally and decided to take the 360 to the bedroom but it wouldnt work jajaj looked up some vids and saw I was not the only one going through this !
Lol is this literally working for everybody else but me?
iLoveRock&Metal nope it does not work for me

ELECTROHAXZ...... that is one long-ass fucking sentence.......
Thank you for your helpful video, you shined over my ignorance and showed me the light, the green one to be specific
xbox 360 slim won't turn on but the power brick is green
thank you so much mate you saved my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about it turning yellow Orange
I think it mean green
Thank you vm bro
What if its plugged in and theres no light at all
Damndidnt think about that
Nono NO. this is total BS he does not show you the problem and he doesn't show you the results wtf too much talking 👎👎👎👊
Thank you for the help! I’ve been struggling turn on my Xbox after a couple of years and you were very useful.
my xbox360 e wont turn on and no power and my power brick still orange light but i followed all the step but nothing happen help me T___T
My power supply has an orange light and the console won't turn on. I've ordered a new power supply to see if that will fix it
So, I could read it at the Microsoft website and it did not work. There's no need to make a video that says what a web page says in few words. Changing the cables could solve your problem, but it does not work too many other problems. Why make a video with no sense?
What if Microsoft made the powerbrick that way so when the xbox one came out and everyone is getting this problem,they sell the xbox 360 and get the xbox one? Seems like a business scheme to me :P
I have a problem my xbox360 asked me passcod of family setting but i have no passcood
But mine is plugged into the xbox and still orange😱 I have a red light of death, it might be saying my power line is bad?
My xbox power supply lights up orange but when I push the power button it goas green for about 5 seconds then goas red
Thanks maan.. you're the best. Hail from Indonesia...
one day my Xbox 360 the power brick red so L was to play take my brother to fix my Xbox 360
My brick has a orange dot so I think it’s fine but my Xbox won’t turn o. Still
Thanks just $20 by watching your video
didn't help at all I did it but it still has the red dot trying to get skate 3 on Xbox one with my save but it doesn't work
This is the only video that worked for me, got an xbox power adapter for 15 quid next day delivery off eBay..
i don't comment on videos but i got to the point that i was screaming at my xbox and calling gamestop to ask how much their xboxes were and i finally did this exactly and closed my eyes when i touched the on button muttering "please god" and it worked!!! thank u so much!!!!!
Brynn Wittenburg sub
I Plugin Bur the adaptor still Orange and the Xbox only Green Dot
Thanks bro very useful. God bless you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't have a phone on Xbox 360 on the bus or the airport concourse
my adapter/brick smells like smoke fire and burning
You're the best! Powering on after 4 years and my heart skipped a few beats!
The reason there’s no power because you didn’t have it plugged in
Thanks so much this helped me I was thinking of buying a new one
I did this and it didn't work it still shuts off after 15 mins

Virgõ Green Støñe you are done sry

For me the light on the power supply doesn't turn on at all
Bruh my turns on for about 5 seconds then turns off every time
Whicheversnow61 aka Snowy 200000 Same with me
Same
Mine 0.5 seconds
Mine too
Same
Worked like a charm for me on the old X-Box original brick. Good fix, and literally every power cable needs to be unplugged.. even the stray cable going from surge to brick has to come out of the surge and also out of the brick. no idea why that'd make a difference, but it did.
i unplugged everything cleaned it out... it had a cloud of dust in it which was probably the problem but i blew it all out then cleaned the fan and plugged it back up in the order that you showed and it works so thank u very much i will subscribe for this and i hope to see more 360 tips from u cause this one worked... again... thank u
Me friend l have x_box 360 do not turn a device
Mine was always orange, yet it still didn't open.
Damn realy worked 💪 Thanks alot man
Thank you bro it work now i can play with my brother
I KNOW THIS IS OLD BUT THANK YOU !
No wonder if wouldn't turn on it wasn't plugged in
Am I the only one who just beats the crap out of it
You had me at “not working”
The thermal paste gpu dry that why 3 ring red
My xbox 360 decided to shine red two years ago.. did everything this video told after the two years passed it is still the same though a little green light showed up for a split second and then bam red light again. What am i supposed to do with that?
Just unplug the adaptor from electricity and hold for 1 day then try plug again if it wont work then rip
you are a fucking genias thanks a lot i love you
you are a fucking genias thanks a lot i love you
you are a fucking genias thanks a lot i love you

Saved my life bro thank you
Same mine is still over heat and it souds like a fan
Just wow, people will just try and be an expert on everything. You have made a video that is loaded with false statement after false statement. They should take this down. You don't show because you don't know
My power block won't turn on 2021
Yessss... Thank you..... Question, the light on the power source is orange(not green) is this ok?
orange means stand by, which means it's ok, but you haven't turned on the xbox yet. when it's on, it's green
J Condors it turns green when on
I unplugged the back of the power adapter and plugged it back in and it worked fine
It happened on both of my 360's
Mine works but 5-10-20 mins later shuts off or about 1-2 hours
Mtray 98 same
