oh my god this hack is a life saver thank you very much for the tutorial… im running on a 230 watt supply with a max out put of 120 watts… working just fine so far but the output watts 203 on my original brick and now the power is reduced… taking small steps to reduce energy haha

yo! I tried this nice little hack and it works perfectly, but wolden’t it make more sense to add like a tyoe of cut off source to the ATX instead of connecting the black and green wire together so you dont waste as much power.

im gonna give this a try since im not paying $100 for a 3rd party power cord that will break, i have a voltage tester that i can use to test the voltage of all the pins before i hook the xbox to it, so im gona risk it

well, i think it is a decent idea, in iraq i bought an xbox with the 110v rating and it never turnd on, it would be easier just to open it and replace the fuse in the psu then put it on a stepdown converter, because like where ever you are, im too am in a 220w world, and it sucks

#128 – Buy an adapter? You should be able to get one from an electronics store.

Or like anywhere, department stores and the like, look around.

Thank you for the info on how to do this. A friend smoked a 360 power supply by plugging it into 220v. We took the advice of soldering individual wires together instead of grouping them & it works fine. We did not try the blue wire wire for the power on signal, we were happy with flipping the switch on the power supply. Thanks again for taking the plunge on this & sharing the experience.

I am an american trapped in North Africa for two months. I brought my xbox 360 and all my games with me to keep me company. What do I have to do to run it down here, powerwise? Everything runs on 220V two prong, south europe/north africa power. Any idea’s? I’m desperate.

if its atx that wouldnt work aaron, good idea but it would need to be a switch that returns to form,

as if u bought that switch u mensioned, think of the case of a pc with atx psu, if u press the button for 4 seconds the system turns off,
(this would be the same theory)
but good idea.

stace, do not worry about correction, as it made sence in the previous message

over here they also use the word pound as well as pounds, (slang really but understandable all the same)
