Xbox Series X: Forgot to install E-clip in Xbox Series X. Is it safe?

Sun, 17 May 2026 05:15:58 -0700

Hi, I disassembled my Xbox Series X for cleaning, but after fully reassembling it, I realized I left out the E-clip (E-ring). Is it okay to just use the console without it?

Xbox 360 S: Will a xbox one power supply work on xbox 360 slim

Sat, 16 May 2026 10:20:11 -0700

I bought a xbox 360 slim from a guy. He showed that it worked, but I bought it withought the power supply. A power supply from a xbox one looks like the same. Will a xbox one power supply work on a xbox slim. They both have the 2 large pins for the plug and look the same, but I thought I would ask before i tried it.

Xbox: Help identifying power supply components

Thu, 14 May 2026 20:21:44 -0700

This is a 1,0 model original XBox using a Foxlink FTPS-0001 Rev B power supply.

I've been casually attempting to repair this XBox for a few months now and I think I finally found the culprit. One of the glue blobs on the power supply hiding underneath one of the heatsinks was rather discolored, and after cutting it open I found these two little guys at positions C5 and R6. The board itself was also discolored underneath. I can't find a schematic for the power supply so I'm asking here as a gut check.

C5 - This is the ceramic capacitor to the left, I believe this is the part that has failed as the pad on the bottom of the board showed some corrosion and started to lift. Testing on a multimeter shows no results. Markings lead me to believe the values are 2.2 nF, 1000V, +-20%.

R6 - This is the resistor to the right, whatever happened under the glue discolored it so the bands are not totally clear. Testing it returns 21,640ohm, 3V but that doesn't seem right so I'm assuming this then failed with the capacitor. My research says this should be 39ohm +-5%, but my eyes see red/black/brown/gold which would would put it at 200ohm +-5%. However, if it is red/brown/orange/gold then my testing was actually correct and put it at 21,000ohm +-5%. Really at a loss here.

Am I on the right track here and are any of my values correct? Is there anything else I should probably test on the supply while I'm at it?

Xbox Series X: On/Off Beep. Shorts around APU test points

Sat, 02 May 2026 15:58:04 -0700

I have an xbox series x that does not power on. It started as an HDMI repair with ripped traces and snowballed into something worse. I cannot get it to come on. I ordered a raspberrypi pico to flash this firmware (https://github.com/xboxoneresearch/PicoD...) and get the whatever POST code it was throwing.

The result was SMC (1): E006 [SMC_FATAL_CPUGFX] Low priority: VREG_PWRGPAB_CPUGFX_PWRGD missing/timout: Check shorts on V_DRAM1P8, V_SOC1P8, V_SOCPHY. U681, U7, U129, U57 and U480 drive this signal low when a fault is detected.

I checked those test points and got no shorts. I did get shorts on the V_GFXCORE, V_CPUCORE, V_MEMPHY, V_SOC test points though.

I am at a loss as to what could be the issue here. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

Xbox Series X: XBOX series x Turns of after 1-2 seconds

Fri, 01 May 2026 15:16:45 -0700

The xbox logo turns white, the turn on sound is here, then 1-2 seconds later a click sound from inside is heard and the console shuts down. My guess was faulty PSU so i changed it but no difference from before.

What else could it be?

It's a 1TB model, but the sticker on the console says

model number 1882. Is that correct?

The console won't power on, so I think the power supply is faulty.

Xbox One X: Need help Identifying blown component on motherboard of Xbox One X

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 06:51:37 -0700

Looking for help identifying a component that looks like it had blown on my Xbox One X.
Background to my console is that it stopped displaying a signal 2 weeks ago. However, the console will power on. I have tried using different power cable, different HDMI cable, a different TV, and no success. Most symptoms, I have read, led me to believe the HDMI Retimer had failed, so I ordered a replacement chip to prep.

Yesterday was when I disassembled the console to prep for the work and that is when I discovered this component. It looks like it had blown at some point and might be why it wont display a signal.

However, I have no idea what this component is and I need help identifying what it is.

I have a macro shot of the chip, but its still hard to ID.

Its right next to the port for the front switch power button on the xbox. Here is a photo of another board of where I am talking about (circled in red):

I appreciate anyone who can help me identify this component and possibly where I can buy a new one.

Thank you

Xbox 360 S: Random freezing, restarting by itself

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 05:47:10 -0700

My xbox is freezing during gameplay, mainly at the first loading screen I come across, rarely at the dashboard and I have to unplug the power cord to shut it off. Sometimes the wifi card isn't detected as well. I can play Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for 10 minutes before it abruptly shuts on and off by itself.

I've tried cleaning and repasting it, didn't work and I can confirm temps are low. I've also reinstalled the latest update.

Xbox One: Errors E106 and E101

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 21:37:54 -0700

I get error E106 whenever I boot and when I try to update or factory reset I get E101. I used the factory update trick by holding eject and bind even after two beeps with a USB drive plugged in to instantly start updating but every time I try to update or factory reset I get error E101. When it says checking update, i checked on the drive and saw that it does move the update files to the disk but it doesn't install them. I have repartitioned the hard drive with ludvig jerabeks Linux tool. I tried every USB option available. Any ideas on what these error codes actually mean? I know E101 has something to do with updating.

Oh and I can't send it to Microsoft because my warranty period has ended and I don't want to pay half the retail price just to let them repair a known issue.
