Xbox Won't Turn On?
We Bring It Back.
Press the button and your Series X or Series S just sits there — no light, no fan — or it powers off a second later? A dead Xbox is almost always one failed part on the power line, not the end of your console. We diagnose the power supply and the board, fix the real fault, and ship it back to life. Mail yours in from anywhere in the lower 48.

Sound Familiar?
Is your Xbox showing no signs of life?
An Xbox that won't power on rarely means a dead console. These are the no-power symptoms we trace back to a single failed part every week — on both the Series X and Series S.
-
Most common
No light, no life
You press the power button and nothing happens — no light, no fan, no chime. Completely dead.
-
Powers on, then off
The light or fan kicks on for a second, then the console shuts straight back off before it boots.
-
Dead after a surge
It was fine, then a storm, outage or power surge — and now it won't turn on. The power supply usually takes the hit.
-
Clicks, but no boot
You hear a click or the fan twitch when you hit power, but it never reaches the dashboard.
What actually fails: most no-power Xboxes come down to a failed internal power supply, or a blown power component on the board — a shorted MOSFET, fuse, or power IC, often from a surge, age, or liquid. It's usually one part, and it's usually fixable.
Thinking of opening it up yourself? Please read this first.
The Xbox internal power supply and its capacitors can hold a dangerous charge even when unplugged. And tracking down a no-power fault means safely testing power rails and finding a shorted component among hundreds — get it wrong and a slip of the iron can short the board and turn a $130 fix into a dead console.
We diagnose the power chain the right way: proper tools, a microscope for board-level work, and 25+ years of micro-soldering experience.
Done Right
How we get your Xbox powering on again
We don't shotgun parts at it. We find the exact failed component, fix it, and prove it runs before it ships.
-
Full power diagnostic
We test the power supply, the power rails and the board to find the real failed part — not guess.
-
Power supply or board repair
We replace the internal power supply, or micro-solder the failed power components (MOSFETs, fuses, ICs) under a microscope.
-
Clean & restore
While we're inside, we clear out dust and refresh thermal paste if needed so it runs cooler and quieter.
-
Tested & shipped back
We confirm it powers on and runs stable through a full boot and load test, then ship it back to your door.

Good Questions
Xbox no-power repair FAQ
How much does Xbox no-power repair cost?
Xbox no-power repair starts at $130. Most Series S repairs land between $130 and $150; Series X repairs run up to $175, depending on the cause — a power supply replacement versus a board-level repair. That price includes a full diagnostic, interior cleaning, testing and return shipping anywhere in the lower 48. We confirm your exact price after inspecting it in person, before any work — there's no charge for the diagnostic unless you decline the repair or the device can't be fixed.
Why won't my Xbox turn on?
The most common causes are a failed internal power supply, blown power components on the motherboard (MOSFETs, fuses or power ICs), a power surge, or liquid damage. We test the whole power chain to find the exact failed part instead of guessing.
My Xbox powers on for a second then shuts off. Can you fix it?
Yes. The light or fan kicking on briefly before the console dies is a classic no-power / power-fault symptom. We trace it to the failed component on the power line and repair it.
How long does an Xbox no-power repair take?
Board-level power repairs like this typically take about 3 days from when your console arrives at our bench. We test every repair for stable power before it ships back to you.
Can I mail my Xbox in from out of state?
Yes — we accept mail-in Xbox repairs from anywhere in the lower 48. Return shipping is included for game consoles. Just send the console itself; keep your cables, controllers and games. Your saved data isn't touched.
Do you repair Xbox One and PS5 no-power problems too?
Yes. We repair no-power faults on the Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS5 Pro and PS4. Use our instant quote tool for an exact price on your model.
