This is exactly what mine sounds like and is doing! I took at all apart and cleaned it, but nothing changed... luckily I know how to disassemble it now and can replace the power supply! Thanks!!
No need to replace the entire PSU. It's one singular capacitor that needs replaced (if you want to do it properly, it's a whopping three). It's actually more complicated to take the console apart to get to it than it is to replace the cap, which is a bit absurd but hey. Also while you're in there, might as well replace the crappy Seagate Rosewood HDD with a SSD
Thanks, I had the same problem and your video helped me to know that the power supply was the issue. I bought another one and replaced it and now it works!
I had my Project Scorpio Edition One X do this, and I kind of just let it collect dust, because I couldn't find anyone with the same issue. Thank you for this.
Fixing my Xbox One X was a great experience. I can't wait to continue learning & fix more electronics. Let me know if you are new to electronics repair, already experienced, or just enjoy seeing others fix things. If you are already experienced, how did you get into electronics repair? If you are wanting to learn, what has sparked your interest?
Great video! I turn my Xbox one X on then shuts off after 3 seconds. I watched this video and decided to replace the internal power supply and walla! I became a technician today! Thank you
Thank you, my one x started making the weird humming noise and wont power on (light comes on for 2 or so seconds) such a relief that all i need is the power supply.
@@KeleStrazaRepairsElectronics At first i thought maybe my Xbox one s internal power supply would be a good donor, but it's a completely different one. So i paid the £30 for a new Xbox one x power supply. I stripped down the one X and compared to all the other consoles I've opened up the one X was a pleasure to put back together, lol my least favourite is the old phat PS2 erghh. anyway the only issue i encountered was that the brand new replacement was missing the threads for the mounting screws? Really bizarre lol so i had no choice but to put it in without the screws, the case and itself clips in place so as long as i don't shake it about it will be fine. Thank you for the helpful video.
For the little ribbon cable that hooks up the front on/off board, I had the same difficulty at first! I found that it’s much easier to first connect the board to the ribbon cable, then screw it into the metal frame afterward.
The next full repair will be trying to fix the broken subwoofer we have. However, before I can do that, I have to get some additional tools and practice soldering. So, the next videos will be more focused on the new tools I have to get and then learning how to use those tools.
Ive been having a problem with the xbox one x( your xbox) it tells me i need to update my Xbox and when i do the updating it stops at like 58% and even when i fully reset it. It doesnt wanna update. Its honestly a paid. Had it since 2021 and stuff
Ugh. I hope you are able to fix the issue. I would think it might be related to a hard drive issue, but that is only a guess based on my PC building and troubleshooting in the past.
Very likely to be a dead or dying HDD, as all of the One Xes came with Seagate "Rosewood" chassis HDDs, which are well known and liked in the data recovery business cause they're almost guaranteed to fail more (headcrash) or less (dead head amplifier) catastrophically. Easiest route is a 1TB 2.5" SSD (needs to actually be 1TB, not 960GB) and restoring the OS onto it with a USB stick (what microsoft refers to as an "offline system update" aka OSU). You *can* use 500/512GB (not 480GB) and even 2TB (not 1.92TB) SSDs, but the former will only leave you with about 350GB usable space (ie nothing... one CoD and it's full lol) and the latter is now relatively expensive again (about a hundo) since SSD prices have almost doubled from where they were 8 months ago
the main bulk filter cap (420V 150uF TAICON) is what dries up and fails, as the One X is stupidly designed to "cool" the PSU with the hot exhaust air coming out of the CPU heatsink, which _bakes_ the caps. You can replace it with any 400-450V 150uF cap of a good brand (I used Nichicon UPH, part UPH2G151MHD6), so long as it isn't larger than 18mm diameter and 35mm length (little bit of wiggle room on the length tho)
@@Knaeckebrotsaege Yes! Thats exactly what I did. I didn't have the chance to test it in a xbox yet. However it ran two 2A automotive bulbs just fine. About a 4A load. I wrote up my research about it on caps wiki site. Should be "xbox one x power supply".
I've been having isues with the dashboard menus starting to get locked with the distorted coloration but then turning it off and not wanting to turn back on with display Or it attempting to turn on but makes faint click then doesn't
It was a quiet buzzing sound. It was doing that while in the xbox as well, but after taking it out I was able to confirm that it was for sure the power supply making the noise and not something else.
Could be, but I never had that issue so I don't know. I did have an issue with an older xbox that had the built in power surge brick in the cord where it went bad after a power surge. Now I think that is built into the power supply inside as a fail safe.
Mine has a similar problem, I've had mine for 8 years though, I'm just gonna get a new xbox console, I'd also probably do something wrong. Watch now I order a new one just to find out it's the tv 😂
After few years I decided to turn on my xbox and see what's there and after I plugged in the cable i heard that buzzing and exactly the same issue as on this video but I won't buy new power supply this xbox deserves retirement besides I'm on PC for the past 5 years.
I would of believed you if you showed the tv any soon it can turn off again you did say I fix it yeah I took mine too that store the second day they tell me they can’t fix it I need to come pick it up son repair store that is I’ll be trying another location hopefully they won’t tell me they can’t repair mine
Hope you have better luck with the next repair location. I didn't feel the need to show the TV after I repaired my own Xbox, however if I was a professional repair shop working for others, I would have.
i know already why i had the same problem they igonred probably the noise from the psu and just checked if itts putting 12v out. and yeah it is putting 12v out but after a couple of seconds that 12v is getting unstable and the console will turn off. i did alot before i came to this conclusion. i was diagnosing my xbox one x for 4 hours replaced some components but didnt work after all i did replaced the psu it worked again. exact same issue and btw the sound that you hear is daungerous because its the power that you hear thats going throu the psu
@@nltechie9968 the bulk filter cap (420V 150uF TAICON) in the PSU is the issue. The One X's dumb design "cools" the PSU with the hot air coming out of the CPU heatsink, which just _bakes_ the cap to death (causing it to dry up, lose capacitance and no longer do its job, hence the buzzing of unfiltered AC and instability). You're looking at roughly 5 eurodollars in parts (Nichicon UPH2G151MHD6). And taking the console apart to get to the cap is way more complicated than actually replacing it, which is a bit absurd but hey...
FINALLY someone with the same issue I'm having!! About to order a power supply asap
I am so glad my video was able to help you :-) Let me know how it goes.
Did they put a link for the power supply? If not, do you have a link?

Mines soing that now, small humming and the xbox one x turns on flash then the x turns off again
Where did you get the power supply part for because my xbox has the same issue
I ordered the power supply here: www.ifixit.com/Parts
Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
I solder and have done hot air rework. Curious as to what the component is inside the power supply that causes it to fail. I'll soon find out!
the main bulk filter cap (420V 150uF TAICON) is what dries up and fails, as the One X is stupidly designed to "cool" the PSU with the hot exhaust air coming out of the CPU heatsink, which _bakes_ the caps.

I've been having isues with the dashboard menus starting to get locked with the distorted coloration but then turning it off and not wanting to turn back on with display
Or it attempting to turn on but makes faint click then doesn't
what noise did ur powersupply make when plugged in when u took it out of the console
It was a quiet buzzing sound. It was doing that while in the xbox as well, but after taking it out I was able to confirm that it was for sure the power supply making the noise and not something else.
@@KeleStrazaRepairsElectronics but inside the xbox it made more noise right?
@@doffoderk5543 No, it sounded the same, possibly slightly quieter because it was inside the case.
Can get link for the power supply now ?
www.ifixit.com/products/xbox-one-x-power-supply
Do you think it’s could be a power cord issue? My power went out then right back on and now my Xbox one x cyberpunk edition will not turn on
It doesn’t even make a noise just on then straight off
Could be, but I never had that issue so I don't know. I did have an issue with an older xbox that had the built in power surge brick in the cord where it went bad after a power surge. Now I think that is built into the power supply inside as a fail safe.
Tysm
How much was the power supply?
It was about 50 USD at ifixit.com, for A stock. B stock appears to be 40$
Mine has a similar problem, I've had mine for 8 years though, I'm just gonna get a new xbox console, I'd also probably do something wrong.
Watch now I order a new one just to find out it's the tv 😂
Im having the same issue so im guessing 99% i need a new power uint not to sure about taking it apart tho lol
Mine does the same😊
Hope you were able to resolve it!
@@KeleStrazaRepairsElectronics i did,pretty ez fix it was the power board
