cryptblood1986 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Is this power supply multivolt? A friend gave me this power supply and it worked on a 220v outlet despite it saying 100-127v. This power supply doesn't look like it's been modded. I have other power supplies of the same model and I've been using a 110v to 220v transformer with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0tt0nm0ufh Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Sorry I wish I knew more. All I know is that models are OK to swap between any US ( and I think Japanese) Xbox's as long as the pin header matches ( 1 or 2 row). You CANNOT use an EU power supply on an US Xbox without modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 No it's got a mark next to110- 120 volt. SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod,Those that can't Soft-Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bot_1 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 hi there! Just jumping in on this discussion, as i'm currently stuck with one of my xboxes (us-version). since i live in europe (220/240v-outlets) this console was using a stepdown-converter (220 to 115 v). this stupid converter died last night, and i was wondering if i should buy another one or order a second-hand EU-psu and just swap it out.

SS_Dave Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 The only difference between a version 1.2-1.4 US and Euro power supply is the input voltage with the same for the other versions as the output voltage is the same world wide.

I'll give you the schematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bot_1 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hey there! Thanks for the reply! Sooo, what you're saying is i can convert the existing us-psu to eu-voltages without having to buy a used eu-one to swap it out? This would be fantastic! Or did i get you wrong? As dave mentioned, i'm pretty convinced to the idea that internal voltage worldwide is the same (otherwise it would not make sense; they would have had to design every regional xbox with different caps and resistors, etc.). Of course, i'm no pro, so i'm eager to listen and learn what this is all about. I'm currently not at home, but i'm happy to send you a few pics of my us-psu when i get home. What i can say from memory is that its a 1.0 xbox with a single-row power-connector... I'll get you updated soon! Greetings Bot_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptblood1986 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Yes it's possible. One of the PSU with the double capacitor can be converted to 220v without having to buy parts. Just a jumper wire and a capacitor to remove. The other models have different methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptblood1986 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 In the first pic I posted it's the jumper wire infront of the left capacitor and the orange capacitor to the right of the right capacitor needs to be removed. Then that PSU is 220v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other models have different methods. hey there cryptblood i managed to take some pictures of my us-psu. would you mind having a look? today, i had more trouble in getting this thing to run: my step-down-converter which i ordered for testing the us-box arrived and after plugging it in and turning it on, everything was running great for about 5 minutes. then, the box just went dead. no reaction, no blinking, no light, no fan, long presses, short presses... dead! even after letting it sit for about an hour to cool down, still no sign of life anymore. my initial assumption is, that my step-down converter died... after this incident, i compared the requirements of the box (especially wattage) with the converter and turns out the converter only supports devices up to 45 watts. if it's true what i read on several sites, the og xbox consumes up to 100 watts, which could indicate that i just overloaded my new step-down converter. oh well, i never fail to surprise myself. what are your thoughts on this? greetings bot_1 ugh... if indeed my converter died, i'm a little pissed off. the company labels these things as "worry-free", "compatible with all US-devices" and "plug and play". this is just false advertising in my opinion. i'm trying to get a refund! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptblood1986 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 For that PSU model only one cap with same rating as mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bot_1 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 hey there! sorry to ask (i know it might sound dumb, but i'm no expert in electronics, so i'm just a little insecure): the pointed cap would be the only one i had to replace for the conversion? greetings bot_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptblood1986 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 450v 220uf capacitor. Yes. make sure you match the correct polarity negative and positive. Though if you are a noob in electronics and soldering, then maybe just get a 100W transformer hehe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly suggest if you are not 110% sure then buy a PSU that is the correct input supply and to fit your version of Xbox Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

DARK A Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 i like thank everyone helped me with the info i convert it and it worked in 220 btw its ver 1.0 i did it by removing jumper wire infront of the left capacitor and the yellow transister right to right cap and it worked i measured the temp of the caps they have no heat problem but the iron thing with warning label after shutting it down it reached 41c should i be concerned or is it normal and what its called is it voltage regulator ?
