For more details on the pinouts (provided below) you can also checkout https://xboxdevwiki.net/Power_Supplyīģŋ

The power supplies for the Xbox all work in the same way.

  • Output a standby voltage of 3.3V for v1.0 to v1.5 / 5V for v1.6
  • Listen out for the SMC sending the Power ON (white wire) to 3.3V.
  • Enable 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails, and send Power OK (blue wire) to 3.3V.
  • SMC should listen for this Power OK voltage and then reset/start console.

Identify Version from Serial Number

To identify which version you might have before opening you can check the date on the serial number on the bottom of the console.
