Xbox one question for any tech people out there 11:55 - Jan 1 with 587 views

Son has an old xbox which stopped working about 6 months ago. Anyway. Sorted a new one out for him but looked to sort the old one to have 2 in the property.

Anyway. Broken one turned on. 5 seconds turned off.

Took it apart, dusted it down and looked at the motherboard etc to see of any lose connections all seemed good.
But when trying different things. We learned it worked when we removed the disc driver. However you can't use the xnpx without the disc driver as it won't update the system without one.

So... question. Do you think the disc driver when connected is causing a power surge... or is the internal power module failing as it can't power everything when connected..

Durovigutum

Probably the former as I'd expect the power draw from the DVD drive to be very low when not in use. I suspect it will be a lot cheaper to find a second hand drive and far easier to test the theory than to mess about with the power module.
