Unfortunately, that is not something I can 100% answer from there. It does *sound* like the your PSU is the issue, but the issue with the Power Supply Unit not turning white could be either device. Aside from bringing it to a repair shop to check, nothing wrong with buying a PSU to check. If it works, awesome news, you're back up and running. If it doesn't work, then you know it is the console, and you are out about $25 (which you can make some back by selling the PSU on Craigslist or something, if you wanted to).

@NexusAuto Жыл бұрын
Hmmm. Ok, this comes down to a couple of things. As simple as it is, either the power supply you bought from gamestop is bad (which I've seen happen), or the issue is with the Xbox one itself. First, to be sure, make sure your Power Supply is connected directly to a wall power outlet, and not a surge protector. What happens if the power brick is not hooked up the the Xbox? Any issues or blinking? If so, you may have a shorted brick. Otherwise, I would say to bring it to gamestop and try and exchange it as defective. They'll either replace it or test it. If they test it and it works, then you know somethings wrong with the Xbox. If they just replace it, then you try the new one and you'll get an answer that one. That's probably the easiest way instead of pulling out a multimeter and start testing it directly.

So I unplugged the power supply and tried it again and same very low volume chime but no white xbox round light ever turned on. I had to literally put my ear next to the xbox to hear the slight chime. So I figured it had to be the power supply not sending enough voltage to the unit.

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)
@NexusAuto2 жыл бұрын
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)

Otherwise, you may want to get it checked. Also, there is a ton of other videos out there to help out. The main issue you will have is, which one is the fix you need.

If you buy one and it works, you saved yourself buying a console. If it doesn't work, then you're out $25. It would suck, but better than straight up buying a console right away.

Yeah, I noticed the faint flicker on mine too. Like once it plugged into the console it was like the faint flicker was showing it wasn’t drawing enough power or something.

Yeah you pretty much got it. Seems to lead to a capacitor issue in the power supply. Seems to happen a lot too

That sucks! Hopefully you get it figured out. As an fyi, I am by no means an expert on xbox repair, but when I was doing research, I encountered a few times where people had a Similar issue, and it seemed to be a console issue. It could still be a power supply issue, but I can't say for sure. Hopefully you get it sorted.
