**WARNING::
Some parts
of the
powersupply
can give
you electric
shocks
(even
if powercord
has been
disconnected)!
Only continue
if you
have a
mininum
amount
of knowledge
in electronics.**
There
are more
then 1
type of
power
supply
for the
xbox,
so because
of this
they all
use a
different
fuse.
while
most of
them say
15a, some
do say
T3.15A
so please
take it
to a radio
shack
or a place
that deals
with fuse's
and have
them help
you. or
at least
read what
the numbers
say and
follow
them down
to the
tee.
So
your xbox
does not
power
on…
why is
that?
Most common
reason
is because
the fuse
on the
power
supply
ate it.
I was
doing
some light
project
with my
xbox and
hit pos
and neg.
did that
cost me
some money.
This is
what you’re
going
to need.
1.
Fuse rated
at 15
amps,
I got
one from
radio
shack
part number
270-1040
I recommend
a fast
acting
fuse because
of the
high rate
power
supply
the xbox
uses.
Max voltage
rate should
be 250
2.
You’re
also going
to need
an inline
because,
you will
need it
because
you’re
going
to have
to clip
the fuse
out and
replace
it. Get
any inline
for the
rated
15amp.
Now
once you
clip the
2 ends
of the
fuse,
put the
fuse in
the inline.
When you
clip the
old fuse
your will
have 2
cut ends
those
are going
to connected
the inline.
It does
not matter
which
way they
are connected
as long
as one
end is
connect
to the
inline
and the
other
end is
connected
to the
other
inline.
I
have a
fox power
supply
so I had
to solder
the bottom
part of
the board
to get
my mod
to work.
That’s
it and
should
power
up no
problem.
