No Power To MoBo

[Jdemon]

I took out my 1.6 Xbox today to start doing some work for a new mod. The short of it is that after placing the board and the power supply back in, my Xbox won't power up. I checked all my solder points and connections. I tried disconnecting the chip in case it was causing a short for some reason. I also tried removing the DVD Rom and HDD in case one of them was causing a short. I'm even relatively sure it's not the power supply because while doing things I got a little shock from it. But nothing, no power at all to the Mother Board.

Anyone have any ideas, hunches or shots in the dark? I may have another power supply I can try out but that won't happen until next week :(

I know it sounds too obvious but ive done this myself, double check that youve plugged the power connector back into the motherboard correctly. Its easy to forget when you're in a rush or your mind's elsewhere.
Also make sure you plugged in the wires from the power/eject board on the front panel.
If that doesnt solve it, remove the psu and motherboard again, make sure theres nothing (e.g: a screw) under there that could be touching components, then reinstall everything.

Thanks MasterGouken. I've just re-checked it once again, but still nothing. And yeah I made sure no metal was shorting the board and re-secured all connections. At this point I'm thinking that I burnt out the power regulator. I will see if I have another xbox power supply to test first in storage, but I have to wait until after the holiday to test with a multimeter and be sure if it's the regulator or not.

It was the regulator, thankfully it was an easy repair job.

Ah yes i forgot about the voltage regulators on 1.6's, they do fail sometimes. Glad its working again :)

Glad it's working for u :)

They apparently burn out if you connect the PSU to the motherboard if the plug (power) is already in. No doubt I accidentally did that while messing around with testing stuff for my next mod. Live and learn.
