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?

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708: How to remove Broken headphone piece out of controller

Fri, 01 May 2026 08:25:44 -0700

So I was using a pair of gaming headphones and my arm got caught in the wire and pulled away and broke the end of the cable in the controller. So I spent $30 on the gripstick to remove it, but all it did was push it in further. Please help. Are there possible refunds for the GripStick? Also, it wasn’t just the tip that broke off. It was a decent chunk of the headphone jack that is now lodged in even more thanks to the GripStick.

Xbox Series X: I don't know the model name of the model that won't power on.

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 03:03:25 -0700

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.

I'm trying to buy a Microsoft Xbox Series X Disc Drive Model 1882 (14-digit serial number) Power Supply - Genuine

but the model on this site doesn't match the one I have.

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 One Controller: Joysticks jumps around after replacements

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:18:04 -0700

I've replaced joysticks on two controllers now and ran into the same issue both times.

Simply put, the joysticks wobble around from one direction to the other constantly, and one stick won't work aside from the LS click. All solder connections are working(checked continuity), no burnt off pads and no bridges as far as I can see.

In the first controller, i swapped one stick and it caused this on both. On the new one. I swapped both and both are affected, but one stick doesn't work at all.

LS is a third party replacement stick and doesn't react to movement. Jumps from left up to right down.

RS is a harvested stick from a broken controller and reacts to movement, but jumps from left to right.

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.

Hello, I have a question about the Xbox One models and that's if any Xbox One disc laser works with any Xbox One model for example could an original Xbox One laser work with an Xbox One S or Xbox One X which is why I'm wondering because I got an original Xbox one laser coming in the mail for my Xbox one but if I can get a one s or one x on eBay that has a broken laser I would buy one of those to have a better more powerful console.
