Buck531 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Looking for an original xbox for my 8 year old. He has one, but when you turn it on it starts popping and cracking like the power supply took a dump. So.. does anyone have either a power supply for an original xbox or the whole thing? Doesn't need to be modded. Gaming stores are selling them for around $25 without the cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that's the solder points going bad. Its a common problem and quite easy to fix. Just open it up and dab some solder where it connects to the board, and anywhere else that looks loose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
