1) I want to transfer my Xbox to another case and I'd rather use an ATX PSU for safety rather than the exposed original power board.

2) Original power boards are ageing as no new ones have been made for a while.

So, I want to try and find a conversion method to run an original Xbox on an ATX PSU.

I know this has been done before, and I've got a 1.6 version Xbox, but the original Xbox community seems to be dying. xbox-scene.com seemed to drop off the world completely this week.

There used to be a conversion board that tacked the two main problems...

1) The xbox draws most of its power across the 5v line whereas an ATX PSU supplies the bulk of the juice on 12v.

2) The Xbox sends power on over the 3.2v line wherease the ATX expects this on teh 5v line.

The person (I think in Sweden) that sold the converter board seems to have packed things in (sickmods.net)

I've tried asking for help, as I'm not capable of taking some of the rough diagrams that some people have thrown together, and running with them... because I don't have enough knowledge of electronics to be able to turn that information in to a plan that I can follow.

So... I'm up against it and know that if the original Xbox PSU dies... I've got slim chance of a fall back which, itself will probably be at the end of its life.

Do these leak because they are too low a voltage of capacitor and ought to be upgraded?

I dunno. Any tips or advice are welcomed.

How can and how can I replace it

⟐ Answered setembro 04, 2016 at 7:11 GMT-7

last night i've been playing my classic xbox for like a 30min and turned it off. Everything was working fine. I woke up, turned it on, and immediately I could smell this salty aroma (typical for burning electronics). No flashing red light (its solid green), no errors its working. The problem is the image turns off every couple of seconds and then its back again. And there is this screen flickering lines.

Im using the same power cable that i've been using for my PS3, and not genuine component cable.

Any ideas how to fix it?

New photo.

@jayeff @oldturkey03 @gigabit87898 guys, so I did a wee research, and apparently, that particular capacitor is responsible for keeping date and time (and is breaking more often than others). Do you think that replacing it would have any impact on my xbox performance?

@jayeff @gigabit87898 @oldturkey03 All right, so my 99,9% alcohol came in today (yummy) along with soldering iron and I've managed to remove any residue from the capacitor and the capacitor itself. Here are some photos.

After the cleaning.

Back of the motherboard (the black thing is behind that fried microchip @jayeff was talking about - i think).

Im still waiting for the capacitor to come in so i can solder it in :)

Hi guys its me again

So yesterday, my xbox was working perfectly fine, but today its all the same: screen going on and off and flickering lines. I double checked that capacitor but it looks like its fine. Any ideas? Or should I just get new xbox :D

Looking at another Xbox I believe the bands on the resistor are Yellow, Brown, Orange. Indicating a 41 kΩ. The problem is I don't know the wattage or the tolerance. Does any one know what I would need to buy to replace this burnt out resistor to prevent it from burning out again? Thanks for taking the time to read and reply.

Xbox Power Board Replacement

Every replacement power supply I found and the one in this guide also had it though. Is it just bonding?

The basic problem I am facing is that when I turns on my Xbox 360 ( yr 2011) It shows a red light on power button just like the green light at all corners and just after it switches off

Red Flashing type

Please help me out

Thanks
