Listen folks, i used to do electronics so let me give you some tips. -firstly the electronics these days have a computer chip, if it detects a problem somewhere it will either shut itself down or go in standby mode and will keep doing so until you reset the power brick by turning it off at the wall. -unplug everything and wait a good 5 minutes, 5 minutes for a power supply in this case is needed as the xbox power supply holds a large current in it's capacitors, even when unplugged capacitors actually are still supplying voltage and need a while in some cases to deplete that power. Now if this does not work then you may need a new power brick, but please note, the xbox itself tells the power brick whether to turn on or not, so it could be in the xbox itself. -As this guy says, sometimes it's all dust, as the unit sucks in cool air, dust is also sucked into it and can block the heatsinks to the GPU & CPU, if you catch it in time it's all good, if not then you may have cooked them both, generally the solder joints of the GPU & CPU disconnect and not the GPU or CPU are cooked. In most cases with most electronic parts it's a dry solder joint, the problem is where is it, it could take a long time looking at each part and you need like a microscope, if found you can see the hairline crack, sometimes looking at the solder joints and seeing if they are dull is good enough. GPU means Graphics Processing Unit (the video chip in other words) CPU means the Computer Processing Unit ( the chip that controls the whole lot). Hope this just enlightens people who don't know much about electronics.
I just bought a 360 to play all the old games back when I was a teenager, I was going crazy but I love these old school consoles. YOU HAVE to plug things in order/ first the plug to the 360 then the power cable TO the power brick AND ONLY THEN can you plug into the wall/electric current. If it does not work , repeat until it works. Thank you for this vid ! I was goin crazy and feeling upset that I was playing normally and decided to take the 360 to the bedroom but it wouldnt work jajaj looked up some vids and saw I was not the only one going through this !
i don't comment on videos but i got to the point that i was screaming at my xbox and calling gamestop to ask how much their xboxes were and i finally did this exactly and closed my eyes when i touched the on button muttering "please god" and it worked!!! thank u so much!!!!!
The compressed air trick worked instantly. The fan was absolutely bogged with decades of dust buildup. It'd light up yellow as normal, then it'd send power upon bootup then instantly shut off. There must be a processor in the power brick that senses fan RPM & if it doesn't see anything right away it'll shut off to prevent any risk of fire from overheating. You'll need a torx bit screw driver to open the box & 2 different bit sizes of phillips heads to get all the way to the fan and then go wild with the compressed air to clean out all the crud. Also I put some air on the plug for the fan in case if there was any resistance there. Then after it was all put back together it fired up again just like it did day 1
So after unplugging my brick from the wall and plugging it back it to find it still having a red light I thought I had to replace my power brick. I tried to reset it like you and it worked! I don't know how and why it works, but thank you.
Worked like a charm for me on the old X-Box original brick. Good fix, and literally every power cable needs to be unplugged.. even the stray cable going from surge to brick has to come out of the surge and also out of the brick. no idea why that'd make a difference, but it did.
i unplugged everything cleaned it out... it had a cloud of dust in it which was probably the problem but i blew it all out then cleaned the fan and plugged it back up in the order that you showed and it works so thank u very much i will subscribe for this and i hope to see more 360 tips from u cause this one worked... again... thank u
There is a fan inside the power brick and you should listen to see if it's spinning. If you cannot hear it spinning take it apart and lubricate that fan after cleaning it.
well i had this problem, long story short. i did everything i could that xbox & youtube suggested, didn't work either. FINALLY what i did instead was to take the cover off the PSU. This enabled me to keep the PSU cool & works perfectly now. Make sure ur PSU in a safe position so nothing falls on it.
Can u help me when I turn on my Xbox it turns off and on and when I look at my brick it stays orange when its plunged into the Xbox and when I turn it on it turns green and back to orange PLZ HELP
I have fixed it guys! I took apart the brick and looked for damage, no damage, the end was already cut off and the wires has solder on them because I use it as a 12 volt power supply, so here is what I did, first with the power off, connect the red and blue wires together, then connect the grey wire to one of the yellow wires, then apply power and watch the LED light, it should blink red then blink yellow then blink red then blink yellow a few times, once it stops flashing, it should stay yellow, then unplug the power brick, wait for the LED to go off once you unplug it, then disconnect all wires and reapply power, the light should be yellow, then plug it into the console and it should turn green, if not, repeat until it works! I do not know what color wires of the connector though so just search google for "Xbox slim power brick connector pinout" and you should find it, I thought it would be broken but it is really an easy fix, just use something like small pieces of broken paper clips to join the connections if you do not have proper test wires or bare wires available
I know this is late but mine still goes red immidately after i press the start up button, even after i unplugged everything, letting it rest, and plugged them back on. Any ideas?
It worked the like button worked thanks man I just bought gta 5 and I was scared that I would not be able to play gta 5 thanks a lot Man U deserve a sub
My xbox 360 decided to shine red two years ago.. did everything this video told after the two years passed it is still the same though a little green light showed up for a split second and then bam red light again. What am i supposed to do with that?
Soo what if you bought a new brick and your Xbox still keeps dinging DINGING to shut off it doesn't like before but what I see it does is it won't eject the disc when it does make the noise? Could it be the Xbox wire behind the faceplate problem
Hello, nice video. Mine is orange light and when i want to turn it on it becomes red light. I changed the capacitor 400v, changed the fuse and nothing. Any other idea ? I have 315vdc at the main capacitor but nothing in the secondary... Thanks.

problem, my xbox cant find its hard drive when it clearly is supposed to and i cant do this very important update and the update isnt letting me download my profile cuz i dunno and im downloading profile onto another xbox cuz the last one is getting old and since i cant do the update idk why i cant tho i get an error code (eg 1234 - 5678 - 9101 -1121) but i cant seem to find a video with a solution and yes i have tried to go to the xbox site to fix it but still no help and i had all my memory stored on mah profile that i cant download and i mean YEARS of memory so pls can someone help?
That ain't a fix, it's the same thing as unplugging it and plugging it back in, but you will get the light again after a few minutes of playing. A temp fix is to tap the brick hardly against the carpet floor so you don't damage it. It's like shaking the dust off the heat sink. A more permanent fix would be to take it apart and clean it thoroughly.
unplugged everything and let it sit for a day, and the Xbox still kept turning off and showing the red light on the adapter about 20mins after turning it on while I was using it, do I need to buy a new one?
mine is showing no light at all, it only worked if I plugged it from socket to socket, then it turned off out of nowhere yesterday and hasn't turned on since. with my game stuck in there. is there any solutions so I don't have to spend like $20 and wait like twos weeks for it to come in (I live on a mountain)
Iv done this many times and it still turns off I have two fans pointed at my Xbox and power brick Incas it over heats but it still turns off and this is my 2nd power brick
I know how to fix the Xbox 360 power cord I was 1:48 and then I just unplugged my power cord to my Xbox and the power outlet so the court had no power and it wasn't connected to my Xbox and then out what I did I plugged it back in and put it back into my Xbox and now it's fixed simple as that but thank you for the help
So, I could read it at the Microsoft website and it did not work. There's no need to make a video that says what a web page says in few words. Changing the cables could solve your problem, but it does not work too many other problems. Why make a video with no sense?
Omg thanks so much I can finally play my old halo thanks I was so worried as I have like hundreds of thousands of game points on this and I didn't know what to do as I've had this console my whole life
+Lord XBOX thanks for reply! but I saved so much $$$ . I showed the adapter to a repair shop guy and he said it's IC is fused so he changed it and now it's working perfectly .
2:00 skip all the talking and get right to it

Same with mine m8
Mine is permanently red like still in 2018 still red but yesterday it works now its not working

You have to open the power adapter and clean the light

doen't work for me. I have my power brick for 3 days so it's impossible to get dusty so quickly, it still shows red light
Me too did you get any solutions?
WHAT? That doesn't even make sense how does that just instantly fix it
Thank you bro, you save my Xbox that haven't been used since 4 years ago. Good luck further bro. love from Indonesia
Thank you for your helpful video, you shined over my ignorance and showed me the light, the green one to be specific
how bout solid orange light but still can't turn on
xbox 360 e
It lights in orange, but if i turned it on the light is turning off together with the Xbox. It does mean that i need to change my adaptor?
How bout orange light keep coming off
Mine does the same
Mines doing the same now
Same
i unplugged everything cleaned it out... it had a cloud of dust in it which was probably the problem but i blew it all out then cleaned the fan and plugged it back up in the order that you showed and it works so thank u very much i will subscribe for this and i hope to see more 360 tips from u cause this one worked... again... thank u
i just bought a new power adapter and it's showing red
CrxzyyEditz same.

Then your problem is internal capacitors in the xbox not power brick
Dude thank you ur the first helpful video on UA-cam that helped fix a Xbox
Blew ito my power brick vent and a huge spray of dust came from the other end!
It works like new now!....thanks for the info mate!
There is a fan inside the power brick and you should listen to see if it's spinning. If you cannot hear it spinning take it apart and lubricate that fan after cleaning it.
BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE HAD MY XBOX 360 FOR YEARS AND NOW ITS WORKING AGAIN IT HAD THE RING OF DEATH ONCE AND NOW IT WORKS AGAIN THANK YOU
Hello my xbox 360 E had the problem but i got a new power supply and it still does not turn on the brick has a orange light in it
Hope it got fixed, finally looking into mine, was it an internal issue?
my heart sank when i saw it wad red thank you fot helping me
Hahahaha
Thank you I just blow air with my mouth trough the vents and a lot of dust came out, now it's working and not overheating.
What about it turning yellow Orange
I think it mean green
Yessss... Thank you..... Question, the light on the power source is orange(not green) is this ok?
orange means stand by, which means it's ok, but you haven't turned on the xbox yet. when it's on, it's green
J Condors it turns green when on
well i had this problem, long story short. i did everything i could that xbox & youtube suggested, didn't work either. FINALLY what i did instead was to take the cover off the PSU. This enabled me to keep the PSU cool & works perfectly now. Make sure ur PSU in a safe position so nothing falls on it.
Iain Chandlere what's the psu
I disconnected the brick from the wall and xbox but it still glowed orange
And didn't work
Same
Blow into the brick

My xbox 360 decided to shine red two years ago.. did everything this video told after the two years passed it is still the same though a little green light showed up for a split second and then bam red light again. What am i supposed to do with that?
Just unplug the adaptor from electricity and hold for 1 day then try plug again if it wont work then rip
1:50 is when he starts fixing it
Thank you a lot dude that really helped but the bad thing is that while I was doing it got in to my mouth the dirt
Soo what if you bought a new brick and your Xbox still keeps dinging DINGING to shut off it doesn't like before but what I see it does is it won't eject the disc when it does make the noise? Could it be the Xbox wire behind the faceplate problem
Im having the exact same issue, did you ever find a fix?
no not yet time to get another console PS4
Hello, nice video. Mine is orange light and when i want to turn it on it becomes red light. I changed the capacitor 400v, changed the fuse and nothing. Any other idea ? I have 315vdc at the main capacitor but nothing in the secondary... Thanks.
It still crashes. But thankyou for letting me know that I don't have to replace the xbox. I was seriously going to buy a new one. Thanks again.

My Xbox has a red light but I usually fix it by unplugged everything for 2min and put everything back in but now it doesn’t want to turn on now
My orange light flickers with an occasional red light. Any thoughts?
That ain't a fix, it's the same thing as unplugging it and plugging it back in, but you will get the light again after a few minutes of playing.

I unplugged the back of the power adapter and plugged it back in and it worked fine
It happened on both of my 360's
Mine works but 5-10-20 mins later shuts off or about 1-2 hours
Mtray 98 same

You had me at “not working”
Hey my Xbox 360 won't turn on, the green light appears and goes off immediately in the console and the adapter. Anyone got a solution. Please reply
When i turn on my xbox the light indicator is yellow and after 10~15 minutes, it turns off my xbox automatically and the light indicator shows red.
@Terrible Terry1000 i have been having the same problem
Mine was always orange, yet it still didn't open.
maybe you don't keep it plugged in the wall every day if it was me just unplugg your Xbox every time you use it
HELP !!
I have replace power brick still turns to red
help me
Wow, that is stupid, and it is just what my 360 needed. Thank you
It worked for me, but I also took the case of and blew the dust out with compressed air to be safe.
I did this and it didn't work it still shuts off after 15 mins
Thanks, what a simple way to fix a dumb problem
So, I could read it at the Microsoft website and it did not work. There's no need to make a video that says what a web page says in few words. Changing the cables could solve your problem, but it does not work too many other problems. Why make a video with no sense?
Mine when I on it stay for 5seconds and it off and show an orange light
Lil bro this was awesome thank u my kids xbox cut off and I was thinking I had to buy them a new one, this worked! Way to be bruh!!!
