Dead xbox

Post by Cissoubaka »

Hi,

I had a 1.4 xbox but I think it's dead.

When I push on button, it turn on for one second then shut off.

Is that bad, doc ?

it could need a trace repair or it could have a shorted motherboard or psu.

If it hasn't had the Aerogel capacitor removed/replaced then that's the very first thing I'd do. It leaks electrolyte on the motherboard and causes damage and power issues. All Xboxes (aside from the 1.6) need to have this taken care of ASAP.
