Xbox One: How to disassemble the trigger axis which holds the spring?

Thu, 11 Oct 2018 10:46:29 -0700

The axis appears to be clamped, I put some force on both sides but it won’t give, afraid I might damage the controller.

Xbox: mijn xbox wil niet starten. wat moet ik doen?

Tue, 24 Jul 2018 10:08:30 -0700

een jaar geleden heb ik een originele xbox gekocht. hij deed het perfect zonder problemen. maar vandaag (nadat ik hem 2 weken geleden nog gebruikt heb) wou hij niet meer starten. ikzelf heb het idee dat het komt vanwege dat de startkabel gevouwen heeft gelegen. maar zijn er nog andere oorzaken?

alvast met vele dank ,

a year ago I bought an original xbox. he did it perfectly without problems. but today (after I used it 2 weeks ago) he did not want to start anymore. I have the idea that it is because the starter cable has been folded. but are there other causes?

can you send the password to my email address?

with many thanks, Thiemo Heijnen

Xbox 360: Xbox 360 turns on by itself, then disc tray open and closes repeatedly

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 04:39:00 -0700

Whenever I plug my Xbox 360 into power, within 10 seconds it will automatically turn itself on and the disc tray will repeatedly open and close. Sometimes it will start closing before it is fully opened. I have taken it apart and replaced the drive belt with a brand new one that is not warped/stretched. That did not help the issue. How can I tell if maybe the board is bad or eject button is broken or it is potentially overheating? No warnings pop up on screen. Sometimes if I put a game in, it will stop long enough to start the game and then the tray opens again which boots me back to the menu so I cannot play disc-based games. If I start a digital game such as Minecraft I can continue playing while the tray opens and closes constantly.

Xbox One: Xbox Powers on and immediately powers off

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 00:26:34 -0700

Has anyone figured out exactly what is causing the problem with Xbox Ones that power on, and immediately power off. The power brick is lit orange which instantaneously turns white once the Xbox is turned on directly from the console, but immediately powers off.

This is a very common problem that Microsoft will not discuss.

Xbox 360: when I put a disc in it will say “Play DVD

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 05:27:35 -0700

Hey I recently got a second hand Xbox 360 Elite and as the disc tray wouldn’t open due to a damaged cogwheel I decided to replace the LiteOn disc drive with a replacement one.

I made sure to remove the board from the original console’s disc tray and solder it on to the replacement one. All seemed just fine but I’m new to soldering and console repairs in general.

It worked a treat and now I have a working disc tray that opens and closes and reads discs fine.

My only issue is that sometimes when I put a disc in it will say “Play DVD”. Every time this has happened I can open the tray, adjust the disc a little and then it will read and load the game fine.

My question is what is the likely cause of the play dvd issue? Could it be a shoddy solder job with the wires on the board?

Does the laser need adjusting or cleaning?

It doesn’t seem to be a serious problem because I can always get games to play but if I can eliminate the issue that would be great.

Xbox Series X: Xbox series x crashing/freezing at some games

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 03:06:48 -0700

My xbox is constantly crashing at begin of games. Most after "Press A to continue". My screen freezing then pass to dashboard. Sometimes console turning off just. Tried every solution from Microsoft. I replaced thermal paste. Some games works normally some no. Like flight simulator, cyberpunk, mk11, sekiro, warzone 1, wu long evertthing seems ok. But games like hifi Rush, fortnite, borderlands 3, apex legends, warzone 2, atomic heart, fh5 is crashing constantly.

Even demanding games works well. I couldnt find what could cause that ? RAM ? SSD? Or just software.

Xbox Series X: Xbox Series X No HDMI / No VCore - Southbridge alive but stuck in POST (0V APU Inductors)

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 21:10:33 -0700

I am troubleshooting an Xbox Series X that turns on (fan spins indefinitely) but outputs no HDMI signal and does not chime on a normal boot. However, when attempting to enter Safe Mode, the console successfully chimes (though still no display).

Here is what I have tested and verified so far:

**HDMI & Display Path:**

Replaced the HDMI connector, ESD booster, and Retimer IC.
Verified 5V outputting from the load switch (2151) to Pin 19.
Verified 3.3V on all inputs to the Retimer IC, with no shorts to ground.
Verified correct voltages at the input and enable pins of the load switch (2151).
Verified continuity from each HDMI data pin to the Retimer IC.
Verified diode mode readings on all 19 pins of the HDMI port (700mV on data pins, healthy readings on pins 13-19). One TVS diode is missing but the pin still reads exactly 700mV.
None of the capacitors between the Retimer and APU are shorted.

**SSD Status:**

Read the NVMe SSD on a PC via CrystalDiskInfo: 100% Health (SSSTC 1TB).
Checked partitions: E through I open perfectly on Windows. Partition D (1.0GB RAW) is intact (correct XBFS format behavior). Only partition F is marked "dirty" (normal after abrupt shutdowns).

**Motherboard & Power Rails:**

Performed an APU clamp pressure test during boot; the issue remained the same.
Checked the main APU core power inductors (R15 silver chokes): **Only reading 0.01V - 0.02V (VCore is missing entirely).**
Inductor resistance to ground: Some show 90 ohms, some show 2 ohms (standard for APU rails). Almost all beep on continuity which is expected for these low resistances.
DrMOS / Power Phase chips (MP86910/12): Checked all diode readings on the main power rails and bootstrap capacitors adjacent to each chip. All phase readings are healthy and uniform with no significant deviations.

Since the Southbridge is alive enough to trigger the chime in Safe Mode, but the VRM never receives the signal to enable VCore on a normal boot, what should I check next? Could this be a corrupted SPI Flash / BIOS chip, a missing 1.8V standby rail, or a trace issue elsewhere?

Xbox One: What part of the xbox one handles wireless controller communication?

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 04:50:16 -0700

I have created a bit of a custom-hacked-together xbox one, and since doing so controller connection cuts out every 10 min or so and stays disconnected for a second or two before reconnecting. This happens when I'm only 8-9 feet away and doesn't seem to get better when getting closer to the xbox.

What I want to know is, Is it the wifi card/chip or the RF module that houses the antenna/chip for controller communication?

Xbox series x: Why Xbox series X tends to power down with no warning?

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 11:31:37 -0700

I’ve had this console for about 2-3 years, maybe 4. Feel like it happened once or twice in the past but then never again. Recently it’s been nearly every time I try to play a game on CFB 27. I can play other games for hours with no issues but as soon as I try to play a CFB 27 game it shuts off. I played 20 minutes against a user before it cut power. Then another time 10 minutes into a game vs a CPU it powered off, tried again and another 10 minutes into it, it did the same thing. Finally on the 3rd try it lasted the entire game. This occurred when I first powered it on after hours of rest. Does this sound like a PSU issue?
