Title: 360 simply will not turn on
Post by: mav3r1ck on June 20, 2008, 11:41:47 AM
i dont have much history on this system, attempting to fix for a friend, but all i can tell is that the system just doesnt turn on, period. no lights, no reaction, blank. what causes that? its a release xbox from what i can tell, could be wrong though, it has the white fronted cd drive instead of the silvered one.

Did you try getting a new AC adapter to see if it's the AC adapter thats broken?

Not sure then. Maybe there's a power fuse or something blown. Wait and don't do anything until other members post, to see if anyone knows what's up.

i have no clue if anything has been done to it, but from inspecting the casing, motherboard and parts, etc. etc. i cant see any type of sticky substances that would indicate a soda spill, maybe it couldve had water damage and fried a resistor or something if thats the case? there is also no sign of being dropped to hard, so i wouldnt count on that being it, and i dont see any signs of being massively over heated.

my prognosis is that it died of natural cause, thus old age, thus it could be anything, right?

I would suggest taking a voltmeter to it. Go down to where the power cable connects to the MB and see if your getting anything
