Is your xbox near a source of moisture?

The only real thing I can think of is your xbox got wet in the back where it's flashing.

If you keep trying to turn it on, and if you can SMELL IT FRYING, you will destroy the machine, if it's not destroyed already.

Can you tell where the sizzling sound is coming from?
You power supply might have blown.

The problem is most probably the socket  in the xbox where the AC cord plugs in. Take out the Power Supply and resolder the two pins of the input socket underneath the Power Supply.
Hope it sorts it for you.

cool.gif  smart thinking man , i had the same problem and that fixed it. also theres no need to add solder , just melt where is loose so the solder that is on the board can join the one on the pin.  smile.gif


edit : WARNING!! , dont trust the PSU , even if is unplugged it still haves a lot of energy inside. so dont touch it too much.

edit#2 : sorry , didnt know you were grounded , i hope you read this.
