How To Fix An Xbox One Power Supply That Is Not Working

Is your Xbox One Power Supply not working? Or do you suspect that it’s damaged and causing a console issue?

A problematic Power Supply Unit (PSU) can result in serious issues with your Xbox One console. Your Xbox One can be a source of headache for you if you don’t deal with your PSU issue right away. You must troubleshoot your Power Supply if it’s not working, or if your console is experiencing any of these situations:

  • Xbox One randomly restarts on its own
  • Xbox One won’t turn on.

Causes of Xbox One Power Supply Unit problems

An Xbox One PSU can go bad due to power surges, poor maintenance, poor ventilation, or from regular wear and tear. Sudden surges in voltages in your main line can damage appliances and any electronics. If you’re in an area with erratic power lines, this can be a reason why the PSU is damaged. Thunderstorms hitting an electrical line can easily fry any connected electrical device in your home as well.

If your PSU is placed near a direct source like an oven, furnace, heat register, direct sunlight, or an amplifier, it may become too hot. Its thermal performance may degrade to a point where it can fail permanently. 

Another possible reason for PSU failure is dust. Make sure that you clean it regularly just like the console to avoid any problems.

Troubleshooting An Xbox One Power Supply that’s not working

NOTE: At the time of this writing, the Xbox One is no longer being manufactured so you’ll most likely end up getting a new Xbox One since Microsoft no longer offers their official repair for it. If your Xbox One or Power Supply is still not working, try visiting a local electronics shop to see if they can help you fix your device.
