Xbox One Power Supply Issue - Light Flicker Analysis
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2019
- I made this video to hopefully help other viewers with their Xbox One. I had an issue that was hard to identify initially, and all tests initially were inconclusive. It was only by chance did I come across a very light flicker coming from my power supply, indicating a short or grounding issue, I suspect. Got a new power supply, and the issue was resolved. Hopefully this helps people with a similar issue
Please note, aside from getting a new power supply, this does not provide a fix for your existing power brick. As I did not find any info on this issue online, I made the video showing some of the steps and tips I went through, in case you happen to have tried the same thing. For those who want to see the light flicker in action and want to skip the troubleshooting description, please go to around the 6:50 mark. Hope this helps you all in the future.

This is the only video that actually shows the power supply and the light indicator on it and you easily say what’s wrong with the console and what you did to get it to work. Thank you I’m gonna open up my power supply and there’s apparently these capacitors that bulge when bad and I think that’s what is wrong with our power supplies. I’m sure urs is fixed by now tho! Thanks
Thanks for that great feedback! Glad the video is helpful. I did end up buying a new one as you see in the video, and I fully intend to open up the old one. Just haven't bothered yet LOL. I've read the same...seems the capacitors are the number one culprit. Let me know how it goes!
🤣🤣 I was about 5 minutes away from throwing it in the bin
LOL well good thing you found this video first!
Thanks so much. I couldn't play for a whole week until I came upon your video and it helped a lot. Again thanks for the help
No problem at all! Glad to hear you're back online! Thanks for the great feedback!
I found your video because I noticed the slight flicker on my PSU with the same symptoms. Thank you for sharing.
No problem. Glad it helped out. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this video man! Ordered a new power brick online and it worked just like before the orange flicker started happening. 👌🏼
Awesome! Great news, glad to hear the video helped and you got your Xbox working again!
You beautiful man! You just saved my ass from buying a new console. Bless you and have a happy holiday season!
I hear that! Would rather buy a power supply! Thanks for the great feedback and happy holidays to you as well!
TWO YEARS LATER and you just saved my life. i notice the flickering but no one has videos on that. you saved me time and money. THANK YOU SO MUCH. God bless you
No problem at all! Happy you found this video and you can get back online! God bless, and take care!
Thank you!! This issue happened to me tonight. After 3 hours of sleuthing this video came up. NEVER would have noticed that flicker and would have had to save up and buy a whole new console in 3 months when I could afford it LOL!! Thanks again!
Lol hopefully it works out and you don't have to worry about getting that new xbox. I feel your pain...it's why I spent so much time trying to figure it out. And new console is such a pain lol. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
Hey man thank you so much, I’m still in the process of diagnosing why my Xbox one isn’t turning on and this solved it! You’re a lifesaver!!
Awesome news! Great to hear it is back online!
@@NexusAuto I actually decided to send the power supply away for repairs instead of purchasing a new one, mostly because I was interested in knowing what the problem was instead of just buying a new one.
Turns out it’s the Power Management IC chip, not a very expensive part to come by, but tricky to install.
Just thought I’d let you know as well.
@@dominicshootspeople4352 I appreciate that. definitely gives me some insight on what's going on. Great move on getting it sent in.
This video is spot on. I have an original Xbox One and last week it just...stopped working. I was about to do a deep dive on it but I noticed it had a faint flicker to the power block. Couldnt find anything online about it.
Thank you for confirming my bias. I'm waiting for the new block to arrive and I hope it's the fix I need to get it working again!!
No problem at all, glad the video helped confirm stuff. Hopefully it all works out with the power brick. Fingers crossed!
YESSSSSS THANK YOU! My light is orange but has a very slight flicker, Xbox One either won't make any sound, or it half chirps and the power light won't flash, no matter how many times I attempt to boot it, only chirps about a 3rd of the times. Going to get a new power supply cause I think that'll resolve my issue, and this video makes me feel like I'm not throwing away $35 to solve the wrong problem.
Did it work cause i have thè exact same issue
Replaced mine with new one from GameStop, had same symptoms. Won't do anything with new one, at least the old one makes it chirp. New one has red light not orange...
didn’t help me
7:00 for the actual flicker - it's very slight! That means you need to replace your Power Supply!
Thank you so much for the video. I'm having the exact same problem except my light doesn't stay on. But very informative. This is the only thing I could find about this issue and it took me awhile
Well I'm glad you found the video. There really is no info on this...Microsoft doesn't even acknowledge it. Glad to hear it was helpful!
Can you remember what you did to fix I because this is happening to me
@@LeafBoy-zp6sy basically just have to purchase a new power brick. I wanted an OEM Xbox one but they don't make them anymore. There are some decent ones on Amazon though
@@stevejensen8874 I bought one off amazon and it didn't work, I've got the series s but I really want to get my old xbox running again
@@LeafBoy-zp6sy sounds like you just got unlucky I would send you a link but it was over a year ago so I forget what I purchased but it should be a power brick issue and not an Xbox issue
You’re so spot on with this video... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you sir...
No problem at all. Glad the video was helpful in identifying the issue!
Thank you so much man I opened it saw nothing wrong so I just sat there in frustration I was watching so much videos nothing then I saw my power box and noticed the flicker and I looked it up and saw this video and helped a lot
No problem at all. glad the video helped and will get you up and running again. There really is no information on this out there, so happy to hear you found the video!
Thanks a lot, this will help me return to playing warzone in no time and for that you have earned a sub
Also it’s a really good video
Thanks! I really appreciate both the sub and great feedback! Thanks for watching!
Depends on the kind of sub
I’m having the exact same issue. Orange light flickers very slightly and the console won’t turn on. I haven’t gotten a new supply yet but I’m hoping a new supply will fix it! I’m glad someone else had experienced this before and could point me in the right direction! Thank you
No problem at all. My problem was similar to yours...hope the new power supply works out!
Seeing the same thing on mine, hoping it's the same thing. Very kuch appreciate this post, even if it may not fix kine, just finding something that takes the time to explain what's going on is great.
No problem at all. I know it is a detailed video, but glad to hear the info is helpful. Hopefully it does work out for you.
Same issue. And can confirm that this is the ONLY place online that addresses this issue. Thanks so much for the help!
No problem at all. Glad the video was helpful
Thank you so much man I have been having this trouble none stop and when it finally works I had to leave my xbox on just so this issue would not happen but now I'm definitely considering its to do with the brick
no problem at all. Definitely try a new brick first. Based on the Xbox Website, I needed a new console. But since changing the brick, I had no issues at all! Doesn't hurt to try it first.
The Blacktoothgang how did u get it to work, ill just leave my game on
Thank you for this video! I noticed the delay between unplugging the power supply brick from the wall and the light turning off, and when I plugged it back in I thought I noticed a flicker but couldn't be sure, because just like you said, it was so minute I wasn't sure it was even a flicker! Hopefully a new brick will fix things. Thanks again!
No problem at all! It seems like most people on here who had that minute flicker were able to fix it with the new brick (although a couple said it didnt work). Hopefully it fixes your issue for sure. Such a small thing and very easy to miss. Thanks for watching!
@@NexusAuto Yeah, totally fixed it! Such a relief.
@@vivicadoll249 Awesome news! Glad to hear!
@@vivicadoll249 hi. Where did either of you get your brick? Or the power supply unit as a whole, cables and everything. ?
@@letsgetrealmedicated I bought the whole thing (brick and cord) from the local game stop for about $50 USD. It's a refurbished "game stop" brand one, has a green light instead of orange, but works just fine and it has a three-prong grounded plug unlike the original Microsoft cord (so a little bonus). Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot, as you say this issue has been difficult to research!
No problem at all. Glad the video helped!
Thank you so much I had this problem for a week but finally I got a new brick
Awesome news! Glad to hear the new brick helped and you are back online
Same here. My Xbox one won’t go on standby mode anymore. Ordered a new brick hopefully that fixes the whole power issue
Great video man! Just had this problem, saw a comment on another video about a dude that just hit his brick and worked, did that and it worked! Not sure for how long though. Which aftermarket supply do you recommend?
LOL that is awesome. Sometimes, when in doubt, punch it out! :D Who knows? Maybe it will be permanent. I have seen stranger things.
Unfortunately, I don't have one to recommend. The one I bought came from Amazon, but they no longer list it, so i can't even recommend it. Best advice I can give, look at the reviews and look for people talking about it being quiet. Some can be quite loud, some have been reported as louder than the xbox itself! So see if you can find one that has a lot of purchases, and see if there is a lot of failure rates, and see if it is quiet.
I never comment on videos but I felt I had to as this guy is a hero. My Xbox packed up mid download on Xmas day and without this video I would definitely of had to spend a lot getting it fixed. You sir, are the real MVP!
Hey hey, thanks for the great feedback! As long as you get back online, then my job is done *superhero pose* lol. Thanks for watching and hope it all works out
This was a big help. Couldn't identify the problem through forums or microsoft. I was able to get my console to turn on by unplugging everything but the power, but i did notice the flickering after you mentioned it. Additionally my xbox had stopped sending on/off signals to my tv and audio reciever.
Glad the video helped. Hopefully the new power brick is all you need! Sounds like it is the problem.
I'm about to head out and grab another power supply, so I don't know if this is the fix I needed, but my symptoms are exactly the same and I was beating my head against the thing just like you were so I'm optimistic. Just wanted to drop a comment and a like for you putting a fix out there that's other than what 1000's of other people are parroting. It's frustrating when Google drowns out alternative solutions when everyone is saying the same thing. I finally found your video and I think I'm finally on the right path. Thanks!
No problem at all. I completely agree with you here. I diagnosed this issue, but found no details on it. I don't make too many video game videos, but felt this needed to be said. From the feedback I recieved, it seems that it works for about 90%-ish of all viewers. I hope it works for you as well. Glad you found the video, and appreciate the feedback!
@@NexusAuto Worked for me. Seems like these power supplies are just really that flaky.
@@jonathanlux2103 They are pretty bad, makes me wonder how many people replaced consoles for no reason. Glad to hear it worked out for you
Thanks a lot as you say this issue has been really hard to research and that is my exact issue with mine👍
No problem at all. Glad to hear the video was helpful. It is a very hard issue to research, so happy to hear you found this video
I noticed everything you noticed, had the same exact issues. Even the slight slight slight flicker, I have day one console hopefully new power brick will be solution. Thanks brother
No problem! Hope the new power brick fixes the issue too. Seems to have worked for many, so hopeful for you! Thanks for watching!
Very very useful info on the xbox orange flashing light. Kinda flashing but flickering at the same time. Getting a new box soon. I noticed it before I even watched it but BARELY noticed it.
Glad the info was helpful. Hopefully the brick turns out to be the issue! It is so easy to miss.
Thank you VERY much for this. I spent all day troubleshooting. I noticed the flicker, and my subsequent search led me to this video. So now I know for sure.
And it's not even my Xbox, my friend lent me his. I have to break the bad news to him
Damn! that is some unfortunate news to tell your friend. That sucks. At least the video helped you diagnose the problem. Glad to hear it helped.
That is exactly what is going on with mine and I could not find a video or anything on it. Just ordered a new power supply hopefully should be in soon thank you so much for the information!!
Hope it works out and you are up and running again soon. Glad to hear the video helped.
Just got the power supply in today and it worked perfectly thank you so much!!
@@philliporne2287 That's awesome news. Glad to hear it all worked out!
seriously man you saved my life. Thank you so much. You are a hero.
No problem at all. Glad to hear it all worked out. Awesome stuff
Wow! Thanks for the video!! Mine is doing the same thing and this makes me feel much better about ordering a new power brick!
Awesome! I hope it works out. From the feedback I've received, the power brick seems to be the issue 9 times out of 10. I hope you are one of those 9. Thanks for watching!
Omg I’ve just moved house and this has happened to me!!!! And you are the only video that talks about it. Guess I’m online shopping tonight hahaha thanks a million!
No problem at all! Looks like it's time to get some Amazon surfing going! Hopefully you're back up and running soon!
I recently had this problem with my Xbox one and decided to buy a new power brick and that seems to fix the issue appreciate it left a like and a sub
Thanks! Appreciate the like and sub!. Good news on the brick working out for you
Just got the same problem bro. Gonna try ordering the amazon strip now hoping it works. Great video thank you!
No problem at all. Hope it works out for you!
Dude thanks for this video!!
No problem at all!
I can’t see the flicker in your video but I had the exact same issue so I know what it’s supposed to look like. As soon as I plug it into my Xbox the orange light has a slight flicker. Thanks for confirming the issue, saved me from buying a new console!
No problem at all. Seems to be a very common issue on these power supplies. Hopefully the new one worked out for you
@@NexusAuto it did work… but then my Xbox stopped working again 🤦♂️ seems to be a hard drive issue now. It turns on and then after 5 seconds turns back off.
@Max.Pedals damn! Sorry to hear that. What a giant PITA.
I’m currently having this exact issue with the flickering light
And yours is the only video that addresses the flickering light
Thank you very much for this very helpful video
No problem at all! And good luck!
Thanks for the Tip! I have a question. I turn on my xbox right? When I turn it on, it doesn't make the sound effect noise. :(
No problem. And mine did the same thing. It would not make the sound effect or turn on. But if you do not have the flicker, you may have an issue with the console or the power brick.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! i have the same issue and could barely notice the flutter/flicker of the light, i also have a gen 1 xbox one and thought i was out of luck. THANK YOU!
No problem at all. I hope the power brick works out for your. Seems to work for about 98% of everyone. Thanks for watching and glad to help!
Thank you so so much, completely disassembled/reassembled an Xbox one that I got from eBay sold as spares/repairs, then noticed the flicker!!!! Bought a third party power brick from Amazon, turned straight on
No problem at all. Glad to hear that you got that X1 up and running!
Man I needed to hear this
Happy the video helps. Hopefully the power supply is your issue
I was having the exact same issue. Someone mentioned using a blow dryer to warm the power brick, I used a heater. This absolutely worked for me. My other option was leaving it outside in the heat. Thank everyone for their input and you for creating this
No problem at all, and thank you. Never heard of the blow dryer/heater trick, but that is interesting and glad to hear that worked. Hopefully this helps others out in the future.
Ngl this comment is a life saver saved me $25 thx.
@@christiansmith5312 How long did you heat it for?
@@dipsetdblock20 For about 3 minutes
@@christiansmith5312 Thanks I'll give it a try!
Same thing just happened to me.
Everything on the internet indicated that everything should be working so I was bewildered that it still woudn't work until I noticed the orange light flickering up close.
Glad to Know I'm not the only one.
Definitely not the only one. It seems to be far more common than I thought, and I am happy this video has helped many out. If you replace your power brick, let me know how it goes. I had one person so far who said it did not work, and their xbox was still non-functional, but for everyone else, it seemed to work, myself included.
dude! I see the flicker too. Took apart the console inspected everything, re-thermal paste, upgraded to SSD...nothing. Purchasing a new power brick and I bet this will fix it. Thanks for video!
No problem at all! Hopefully the new brick works out. Let me know how it goes!
I just realized the same thing with my brick man, its so slight. No information anywheres on this online either. Thanks man, ima go get an another brick
Awesome news. I agree, I cannot find anything about this online at all. Hopefully you get a brick and you are back online.
@@NexusAuto So I also took the voltage and current running across the end that enters the xbox. Just to confirm, your idea here is correct. The numbers were too low and not up to spec on what the box says, just incase anyone wants numerical proof.
@@vetert2106 Awesome, thanks for confirming and leaving this info here. It will be very helpful to other viewers. As time it going, I am seeing this is far more common than I thought. Thanks for the info!
I just bought a new brick a few weeks ago. Still won't start up 1st try, have to unplug and plug in 20 times before it starts up. Ughhhh. New Xbox can come any day now lol
@@IDIUTPRODUCTIONS I just ordered a new brick myself, I'm hoping it holds me over until the new xbox comes out. Today my power brick only stood steady orange and the xbox one wouldn't boot up. It would just make a beep when I held the touch sensitive button on the console face.
I like this guys voice and this video was very helpful thank you
Thanks, much appreciated!
Xbox one had this issue so while I was examining it I noticed the slight flicker but I wanted to confirm that the slight flicker was normal or a indictator of a bad power supply, and this was the only video I could find that seemed to confirm my thoughts so after getting a new Power Supply (3rd party one from PONKOR) I plugged it in and it worked fine so thank you for making this video and hopefully my 3rd Party Power supply doesn’t blow up the Xbox, but just in case I make sure to unplug it whenever I get off
No problem at all, glad to hear the video helped. And yeah, watch out for those 3rd party brick LOL. But I will say that as of now, my 3rd party brick still works!. At least you're back online now
@@NexusAuto Yeah, thank you a lot!
Hi, i have the exact same ploblem so i have a question; the 3party you buy still works?, I read a lot online that the 3party ones died in less than a week so i whant to know if its worth (and save) to buy one. Thx for the video
The 3rd part one works great so far. There are some crappy ones out there, so make sure to check reviews and stuff..some are very loud or fail early. But the one I bought was quiet and still works up to now
I JUST noticed this on mine and found this video thank u I couldn’t tell if mine was actually flickering or me tweaking cause it was so slight
No problem. Hopefully the new power brick solves the problem. It has worked for most people, but not all. Good luck!
Nice video:) I ordered a new brick but it just does the same thing. I think it’s the same new brick as yours but no luck. Do you think it’s an issue with the actual system then? I can’t think why it would be it just happened suddenly.
damn, that sucks. I can't 100% say for sure it is the console. For example, you could have gotten a lemon new power brick. But it is far more likely to be a console. I would say, based on feedback on this video, the new power brick works 8 times out of 10, but it's not 100%. You may unfortunately be on of those 2 out of 10.
Maybe it's an excuse to get a Series X? :D
@@NexusAuto ahahaha thanks for replying. Yeah it’s an excuse for me🤣. My Xbox lasted 7 years and my teenage years so I did want to save it for some weird sentiment but time for an upgrade I suppose. Day one edition too. I’m excited to see you make a series x video if you do, gonna drop a sub just in case:)
@@user-eh1gc7xo7q awesome, thanks for the sub! Appreciate it. We'll see what I can do once I get my hands on a Series X! Lol
Bro I don't even know what your channel is about but you've earned my sub! Hoping this works for me!
I appreciate the sub! That's awesome. Good luck on the power supply!. It's not always the fix, but from the people i've seen on here, it seems to work for 9 out of 10 people! I don't think it'll be a waste one way or another. Hope it works out!
@@NexusAuto it worked! The fast flickering orange light was the key, so glad I found your video! Thanks a bunch!
@@IncredibleFlyinSquid Yesssss! Awesome news. Glad to hear it all worked out!
You have just saved my dead and put my headache away. Thx
No problem!
thanks for this. i was wrecking my brain trying to figure out what was the issue.
No problem at all
I really appreciate man, I thought my Xbox was toast, just… thank you a ton!!!!
No problem. Trust me, I know how you feel. Hopefully everything works out!
I had the same problem and had tried every combination of resets I could to get my Xbox to work and nothing worked until I saw this video. I took the leap of faith, purchased an aftermarket power supply for $20 and now everything works.
FYI…. I originally had my Xbox inside a closed TV cabinet and forget to open the doors for ventilation. It overheated and killed the power brick. Now I keep it out in the open where it can easily circulate fresh air. 👍
That's awesome news! Happy to hear that you found this video and it helped out! Waaay better than buying a new Xbox in error (which happened to many people, I'm sure). Great idea on making sure it gets that air circulation too. That'll make a big difference
Do you recall what off-brand model you purchased from Amazon? I think I'm having the same issue, so I reckon I'll try out your method. My concern is that I've been reading a lot of complaints from folks whose replacement bricks run into issues shortly after they're purchased. So, if you've had uninterrupted success with your model, I'd appreciate the guidance.
Sure, I can tell you which I purchased it. I did buy it off amazon.ca, so if you are not in Canada, I am unsure if you will be able to buy it. But hopefully it will help out. As of now, it still works with no issue.

@@darnellthompson7190 damn that sucks. I bought mine from Amazon. It was a no name one, but very good reviews. So far, it works really well and it's very quiet. Hopefully you have a better one now
My son was playing mortal Kombat last night when the xbox shut down! We waited a few and turned it back on and it did until he click on the game again and it shut down again and now it won't turn on at all! Came across ur video this morning and ordered a new power brick.. so hoping this helps! 🤞🏽
I hope to too. The video seems to work for about 90% of the viewers, so I hope the same goes for you and your son. My fingers are crossed for you.
This just happened to mine. I tried my brothers PSU and my Xbox turned on just fine. So I ordered a new PSU. Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one.

When i was fixing my xbox i did all the shit you did except disasembling the xbox itself. Hit fkit that many times untill i came across this vid. Thanks again from another random viewer!!!
No problem at all. Happy to hear the video helped out.
Hey I’m not sure if you’ll even respond to this but I have a similar problem with my Xbox, whenever I try to turn my Xbox on the power supply’s orange light will dim slightly before returning to the normal solid orange, should I get a knew power supply? (Edit when I plug the power supply in it makes a squeak as if there was a squeaky fan inside, I have no technical ability whatsoever so I have no clue what’s going on)
I think so. I can't say 100% without being there, but sounds like the power supply may be the issue. If you can get one, you can try it and see. Best case scenario, you bought the supply and everything works..worst case scenario, the power supply doesn't work and you know the console is the issue, and you're out the cost of the power supply (although sometimes you can even get a refund on the new power supply depending on where you buy it from)
You just saves my ass buying a new system. Thank you
No problem at all! Anything saved is a win!
I have that same problem now. I guess I need a new power supply. Thanks for the video about this.
No problem at all. Replacing the brick works 9 times out of 10. Hope it all works out for you.
Thanks for doing this video you saved me from buying a new console
No problem. Hope the new power supply works out!
Sup bro I have a question, do you recommend me to get a generic power supply? See here in my country (unfortunately I’m not from the US) there’s not original power supply for the Xbox one fat only the generic ones so I’m wondering if they’re worthy
I’ll be glad if you can give me your Opinion, greetings and have a good one
I see no problem in an aftermarket one. I would say just do some research and see if the reviews for the power supply are good. I did that and bought an aftermarket one when I made this video, and it still works perfectly as of now.
My xbox just had this same problem yesterday so that's all I need thank you!!!!!!!
No problem at all! Glad it helped out. Good luck!
Exact same issues. Even though Microsoft's diagnostic tree said the xbox was to blame, mine had the very slight flicker on the powersupply LED as soon as it was connected to the xbox. With an Aftermarket power supply from Amazon, problem has been solved.
same here. I was under the impression that I would have to replace it, as the Diag Tree did the same for me. Something so simple...wonder how many people this happened to and they did not even know it?
Thank you! I'm ordering a new one right now!
Awesome, good luck. Hope the brick turns out to be the problem
Exactly what mine is doing, very slight flicker. Power outage today caused this and likely my fault for being plugged into a surge protector unit. Already ordered a power supply in hopes that was the prob cause I gotta game. Glad I found this! Thx 🙏
I should add the xbox would not power on, but would make a very feint sound when trying to press power button or disc eject. I assumed power issue hence the order of new brick. I’ll respond with info on a positive or negative resolution when brick arrives in a day or 2
@@teedubbzwhiddy4396 Definitely let me know how it goes once you get the brick. Hope you have some good news!
Nexus Auto good to go! New brick did the job 👍
@@teedubbzwhiddy4396 awesome news! Glad to hear you're back up and running!
If you have it plugged into the Xbox but unplugged from the wall you can press the power button to the Xbox and it'll use the reserve power, it does that in case of power outages or blown surge protectors to help save your information
Thanks to this video it saved me replacing a console thanks
No problem at all. That is a big win, money saved is always good!
Dude, thanks for putting my mind at ease. My experience almost mirrored yours, except I didn't take my console apart. I searched high and low on the web, and tried every tip and trick out there.
Right before I found this video, I hooked it up for one more try, and this time I noticed the very small flicker of the light that I hadn't caught before, which led me to believe it was indeed the power supply and not the console.
A new power supply on the way!
No problem at all. Awesome news that you found that flicker...so many miss it. Hopefully the new power supply works out for you!
@@NexusAuto Just arrived and all is well! I almost went out and upgraded to a Series X too. But I have such a backlog of games, I have zero need to upgrade for the foreseeable future.
@@tomahawkchopboy89 nice!!! That's great news...happy to hear it all worked out. I have the same problem lol. Especially with game pass, I'm not in a huge rush to upgrade. Especially since the X is hard to find (at least, in my area) and there is some serious markups online. One day...
big thanks very helpful bro. idk if anyone else had this problem but i did have the problem where the orange light wouldn’t go away and it would flicker when plugging but it also flickered when u pressed the on button. and sometimes it would make a sound like it was turning but wouldnt. like you know the start up noise it would make that but go away before it turns on. like just a quick BEEP. some would be loud some wouldnt. but this has actually happened multiple times but ive somehow gotten it to turn back on but now it wont juust gonna by a new. wasnt trying to spend money before the new console
No problem, glad the video helped. Hope the power brick is the issue. For most, the power brick is the issue, but there is the occasional viewer who let me know that it ended up being the console. Hopefully it is the power brick for you
Thank you 🙏 this is so true!
No problem at all.
This is the best thing. Mine just started this. I was freaking out I needed a new Xbox. But I will definitely go get a new brick.
Give it a shot. Hopefully it works out! It seems to have worked for about 95% of the people who got a brick. Good luck!

@@user-ir3kx9gm7x Sounds like it may need to be tested. Although the new brick could have failed really early, there may be a console issue too. That seems more likely.
@@NexusAuto ok thanks I’ll get that fixed
@@NexusAuto it worked thanks again for posting this
@mosedsaroor Hi Mosed. It is unfortunate that you deleted that last comment, because I really appreciated that post. I thought it was a great suggestion and feedback. I took that information into consideration and I adjusted the title slightly to include 'analysis' and I added some additional details into the description. Hope this helps clear things up a bit. Thank you for the great feedback. Appreciated.
I got an Xbox one and I think my brick is messed up the light will come on but when it does it's red then it will go away but idk if I got the ring of death or it's just the power cord or the brick
@@gasseduprobv7382 Hard to say. It can be either/or. But as per Microsoft, a red light indicates it is *likely* a power supply issue, most times the brick. But it can also be the console or the cord, but that is just far less likely.
I got an xbox off fb marketplace for $20 and it was supposedly broken. I noticed this slight flicker and googled it and it brought me here. I plugged into another power supply and bam we are in business. Thanks for this video!
Awesome! About as good a deal as you can get! Glad the video helped
Couldn't find anything like this anywhere I just wanted to voice my appreciation since I'm sure many come and go and use this video as help and never mention anything about it. Thanks again.
@@tsiege15 Absolutely.. I appreciate it. It is true, never get as much responses, good or bad, or how things work out. I really enjoy hearing stories like yours.
Thnaks the video is so useful
No problem...glad to hear
thank you this video help me a lot
No problem at all. Glad it helped.
my god you are a legend man you just saved me i had the same problem lie you man and you just saved me thank you and i hope you have a good day or a goodnight
Same to you! Glad the video helped lol. Hey, as long as you're back gaming, then it's all good!
Video was great explanation! I had to switch to my old PlayStation 4. What power supply did you get specifically? Can you link it or something?
The one I bought was from Amazon.ca. Unfortunately, the seller currently shows it as unavailable.

Now I know my Xbox is not the problem!!! Thank you sooooo much
No problem at all. Hope it all works out.
Bro thank u, I appreciate it frfr. Im just glad I didn't take it to a repair shop and not hitting it too hard 😂
No problem. Hopefully it all works out for you.
@@NexusAuto yessir it did, I got a new power supply and it's brand new again lol
@@AnonymouslyPoignant That is awesome news! Doesn't get any better than that.
I currently have this flicker, my device started having slight power problem for months where it makes a sound when I try and start it, subtle sound if trying to switch on but when I unplugged all the usbs and hdmi and keep trying it works after some time. Today it died and I noticed this flicker. Will get a new brick and see. Thanns for sharing
No problem...hope it works out and brick was the only issue. I was having the occasional booting issue before it completely died out. Since then, the booting issue is gone. Good luck!
@@NexusAuto well seems like the same problem! Thanks for the extra info. Ordered and once arrives will update the comments
@@iraqired no problem! Definitely let me know how it goes.
My xbox makes a lil turn up noise but it won't turn on. Even the disc noise works a little. The Orange flickers a little. Now I see that I need a new Power Brick.
Hope the brick works out. They are more trouble than they seem. My xbox did the exact same, from the sounds of it. Can't 100% guarantee, but it seems pretty likely to be the brick
Im having this issue where the power supply turns off a little bit when it is plugged in from the back of the Xbox. And as you mentioned I didn't plugged the power supply into the Xbox yet and there is this orange LED light. I plugged it out of the outlet and the orange light is still showing. After 30 seconds, it just turns off. Im just going to get a new one I don't know what to do at this point
Damn, that sucks. But sounds like getting the new power supply is a good next step. It may not be the fix, but your issues is 8 times outta 10 the power supply. Hope it works out
Will do. And thanks for sharing
Brother thank you so much this is exactly whats happening to me. Xbox support told me i need to buy a new console. Thanks dude.
No problem! Happy to hear the video helped. Thanks for watching!
of course they would say buy a new console they want yo money
@@akunpo LOL I agree with that. Seems to be there answer for most issues these days
Xbox is trickster.
Exactly the same issue with he slight flicker it's so faint you have to stare at it to see it, tried all the soft power resets hard resets, pressing eject button 10 times etc i even took mine apart (it did need a clean so did that while open) not sure if anyone had the same thing but my Xbox does make a slight beep sound when I press the power button or eject button, like its trying to turn on but can't.
Ordered a new power brick after finding this video, will let you know if this works but it's certainly sounding like it, thanks for posting!
Mine actually did the same thing it would make the beep noise like it's turning on, but would not turn on. Your issue sounds very similar to mine. Hopefully the new power supply works out for you. Fingers crossed!
@@NexusAuto Guess what! New power supply and I now have a working Xbox! thank you for posting this video, saved me a fortune, cost me £25 about $30 to get new one and works great, again Thanks!
@@AnthonyTravels niiiiice! That's awesome news! Definitely a W!!
After 2 hours of searching I’ve come across this video and just ordered a new power brick...really hoping this works
Awesome, glad you found the video. From what info I pulled from this video, it seems it works for 9 out of 10 people with this issue. I hope you are one of them. Fingers crossed for ya
@@NexusAuto yessir it worked!
@@calmcgowan1262 Awesome news! Glad to hear you are back online! Thanks for the update.
Thank you so much!
No problem! Thanks for watching
How long does it take for the new brick to start working?
My new brick started working immediately
I have the same problem, just happened recently, I knew it had something to do with the power supply, it seems to be that the original brick has either a short fuse or its basic, I'm glad that your review has confirmed that it's not the console, I went to the shop that I got it from and they wouldn't even test a plug in for me, to see if it was the console or the power supply, talk about dodge, looks like they are trying to get me to send it in to get fixed just to make more money out of me, cheap wodz, anyway thank for your review👍that was awesome, with definitely buy a new power brick, ⭐⭐⭐⭐
That's crazy! I'm not surprised the shop was dodgy about the repair. It would have cost you a lot for sure! Hopefully everything works out with the new brick! Fingers crossed for ya
We we're right! Brick came through in the mail! It's works, that was the problem 👍and the solution
@JAKLABELREC awesome news! Great that it worked out. I still think it's crazy that Microsoft doesn't acknowledge this in their troubleshooting steps. Thanks for the uodate
@@NexusAuto me too, I think it's unfair to leave them hanging on what to do if that problem happens to them👍will try to help others from bumming out😏thnx mate for talking to me, great to see your post🙂
You the truth appreciate it
No problem!
I bought another power supply. Played one day and the next I got a white and orange flicker again from the power supply. Could the xbox itself be causing a short and making the power supply go bad? Thanks. And if it is, what could it be?
Yep, the xbox one can be causing the brick to short out. As for the cause, there are many things, including a bad transistor on the board (or any other bad component). From my research at the time of this video, a short at the wiring just behind the power brick inlet on the xbox seemed to be a common issue, but I don't know if that is the cause for sure.
I have the exact same issue, same console. I knew it was the power supply... I opened it, and didn’t appear to have any Apparent problems. It has 2 capacitors. I’ve had issues with power, but most are resolved by removing all peripheral inputs, plugging the power supply directly into the wall (then Back to extensions)... but I think it’s dead now.
Interesting. Obviously, there is something going on, but looks like it is not visibly apparent. I should have opened my old one, just to look and see if I can visually identify the issue. But sounds like you are pretty much in the exact same boat as I was
I’m having this same problem, only when I unplug my power brick, the light on it starts to flicker a lot. Obviously that’s not supposed to happen, so I think I’m gonna try and buy another power brick, hopefully that will solve my problem, cause I’d hate to have to go and buy another console.
Same here. Glad it turned out to be a bad power brick. It definitely should not do that, so give it a try. Hopefully it works out and you don't need a new console.
Thank you so much does the power brick still work I’m going to get it cause my original one broke
Hey. I responded on my other video
Wow someone that actually helped me
Glad to help.
