Hello

My daughter's xbox 360 is not working. I have noticed that the light on the power supply doesn't come on when plugged in - so I am guessing this is the issue.

That said it does seem a strange component to break. I went to a shop but they told me it is not possible to buy a replacement xbox360 power supply only.

Any advice anyone?

Thanks

bring that broken 360 to friend's home to test, if works 100% the PSU broken.
That PSU is 12V16.5A /5V 1A.
If don't mind DiY, ATX (Pc power supply) works great

Thanks for the advice.

Not sure I fancy the DIY method. Is there really nowhere you can buy a replcement adapter?

100% no ORIGINAL in HK. M$ dont't sell PSU, just replace, if it had local warranty, call M$

Aftermarket 220v non-original starts from 200RMB in #1 auction/shopping site in CHiNA
HK sells the same "fake" as the above. If price isn't great, find someone who reads Chinese & buy it from the above site.<accepts "verified by visa" HK issued Credit Card -Shipping from Guangdong Courier:~Y20-30 1kg depends on which carrier >

Why ATX PSU?
long warranty peroid: for example: AcBel -5 yrs & replace at once
reliability: PC runs 7x24, so the quality must be "GREAT". ATX PSU had fans while Xbox360 had No fans. HEAT degrades the CAP & other electronic parts in PSU.

Buying a cheap PSU from China would be stupid. Why don't you call Microsoft; it should be covered by the warranty.

I didn't keep the receipts or anything so hard to prove it is still in warranty.

My experience in HK is no paperwork = no service.

Maybe I'll give them a call and see what they say.
