Title: Power Issues After Psu Replacement Need Help!
Post by: theghostpoop on May 09, 2005, 04:06:00 AM
xbox v1.0 Power supply: Foxlink PSU
After reading all the threads on repairing and replacing my PSU, i resoldered the joints on the psu and Xbox worked fine. But 15 mins into a game it shuts off. I checked the joints to see if it broke again but everything seemed fine, so i went and bought another Foxlink on Ebay and installed it. Xbox booted up for a second; saw lights flash green and red and then shuts itself off. Does anyone know why this is happening? Could it be a hard drive issue?

Sounds more like a motherboard issue... classic FRAG. Is this xbox modded?

He's used 2 identical power supplies and is getting the same problem.
If the box is chipped, take off the chip and see if it still does it.

Xbox has not been modded yet.

Checked fan and it was working fine, no overheating.
