Mattk71 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I have a modded v1.6 that has been used regularly, although not heavily over it's life time. Went to turn on today, powers on for a second and shuts down again. Have tried a different power cable, same result. I have also blown out the vents, although not to dusty. I have found that if I dissconnect the display port it will boot fully, discs spinning etc, but with the flashing green/orange lights. If I connect the display back to the unit it powers straight down. Could anyone offer advice please? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I am thinking the caps near the heatsink/power connector have failed. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Replace the AV cable. It may have a short which is detected by the power supply. The power supply circuitry detects the overloading condition and shuts off to prevent any damage to itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
