The original Xbox is Microsoft's first widely popular video gaming system. It has an easily identifiable black case with 'XBOX' emblazoned on the top and front. Repair is easy with common tools.

My Xbox won’t turn on

My Xbox won’t turn on but when I hold the power button I can hear the fan spin up. What can I do to fix it

There is some issues in power supply so go for power reset option.

Hi! The power supply looks fine to be honest, I can't see any leaks, or capacitors which failed. The capacitors on the motherboard do need to be replaced.

Hi Devin!

This is most likely caused by the capacitors on the motherboard. It's common that they fail and preventing the Xbox Original from booting. Your power supply should be fine.

They are under the power supply, on the right (in your photo). In your photo, I can see 3 of them which failed already next to the heatsink, close to the power connector. You can see the orange liquid coming out (dots) on the capacitors. And the other one is getting bad as well.

Replace all those capacitors... You need 5x capacitor 6.3v 3300uf.

You can buy those capacitors at local repair shops. Or you can buy them here: https://wiredopposite.com/product/origin...

Good luck with the repair and let us know how it goes!

You didn't even specify what Xbox console it is?

Could you add more detail and images please?

Hi Hannah! This is the Xbox Original (the very first Xbox generation). In the image you can see that some capacitors leaked.
