very informative I've noticed a buldgeing cap in my power supply funny tho how it still works but I've ordered some more caps to replace it with anyways being a qualified electronic engineer Ive found 99% of the time the reason power supplies fail is due to a bad capacitor and they are relatively cheap to replace Im a big fan of fixing things rather than to throw it away and buy another it saves the planet thank you for the video

How did you do that you desolder components using a desoldering iron.i need to desolder the burn out mosfet transistor off the circuit boards from QW-MS305D dc power supply.
Nice video, congrats! But I have another problem. Not a 300uF burnt capacitor. I have a Xbox 360 slim. His power supply is orange. When I press the on button, the red light of the power supply turns on. I have only the +5V at the red wire. When I short the PS ON, I should find +12V at the yellow wire, but not. There is not +12V. I measured and changed the 4 capacitors of 1500 uF near the output side of the board. (they was almost 1350 uF. Apparently, there is no one burnt capacitor. What should I do? What do you recomend?

Hi! Just subscribed to your channel. I've a question. My power brick shows orange indicator. When I turned on the Xbox 360 E, the power button on the Xbox turns solid red after just 1 second. I opened up the Xbox casing and saw the fan actually spinned for a second then stopped. Do you know if this issue could be caused by a faulty power brick? Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: when we get consoles like this issues 90% is the power supply, other 10% could be a components going bad on main board. but based on experience 90% its your power unit. amzn.to/3rDDDou
Hi, i am using XBOX 360 that has a power brick with two nozzles that connects to the Xbox 360 - Its not turning green from Orange - Do you have a video for this type of power brick as well ?
i sugest you open it up and check for blown capacitors and other components that could be blackedout, and send me a pic i will help you out, as of right now i dont have any video regarding your problem.
🫠Regarding your question, 1st of if you going to replace the varistor i would recommend 1st measure the out put of the wall (home) as depending the city and place the voltage of the homes can be anywhere from 110v- 125v AC, once you know the home voltage then get the correct varistor, because the varistors that they include in the chargers are rated mostly for 140v and that is not good because the charger will burn if a surge happens. so i would recommend to get any varistor from 120-130v . i have opened many power supply and they always use a different model numbers. you can remove the varistor and test your charger and see if it is working. i will open one tomorrow and let you know the model.
It's my pleasure, and i try to make more videos to reach out more people that are in need. and your feedback is what motivates me to continue ... thank you :)

thank you for the feedback and support, and regarding your issue you may have a bad gpu power regulator. the 1st test will be to test with another power supply and then if still same you will need a tech guy to look at the power regulators on the cpu /gpu. they are the most common issues we get in the store.
