Well I someohow had something in my xbox connect and create a circut. It was a few leds whome touched together connecting the 5 volts from the psu directly to its ground. Now it wont turn on. WTF! Its a 1.6 xbox PLEASE help ASAP!

probably a blown fuse, but im not sure on the 1.6 if there is anything different. just check the fuse, and also look for any blown capacitors

So your saying it IS repairable? YES!

Would the shorted thingy be on the PSU? I have another PSU i think i could use but its not a v 1.6 its a 1.4. Is there anyway I could get that to work?

Seriously i need some help now. The stupid thing got a short circut on its 5v line. I checked everywhere on the stupid mobo and psu and there are no signs of burning or burnt components. What should I do? I need this damn thing to work! WHat do you normally do when you get a short circut??? Oh and do you think the tut on resurecting a dead 1.6 mobo would work in this case? Please dont just read this and brush it off if you have any info. Ive been searching on threads about short circuting with no luck. Please I really need to fix this

How about not buddy. Maybe instead of posting useless info you could actually help. But no you have to post a stupid comment!

im just saying 7 posts in 2 hours for the same problem is a bit excessive.
dont be so

Mick Garvey · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2004, 11:59:00 AM »

maybe i just want to get it fixed. And ACTUALLY 1 of them was a double post. Maybe you should just shut up and focus on helping other people rather than being all nubish and going from topic to topic claming people have ADHD. Im not trying to be rude but if all you have to say is crap, dont spam my threads!

FYI - i may be a n00b on the board, but im not the one with the jacked up xbox.

did you check the transistor like it shows in the 1.6 resurection tutorial?

It is highly likly that that is the problem because that part is fairly sensitive. It is also posible that you dammaged the 1.6 power supply. I would start with the 1.6 resurection tutorial test and check the fuse on the power suply. Last I would try a different power supply. It has to be another 1.6. the 1.4, although it has the same connector, is completly different.

Things don't have to look burnt to be dead.

"ADHD boy."
