    Hello
    I recently bought an old Xbox 1 console. The console worked but was very loud. After a few days, it stopped working and now, after switching on, the orange and green LEDs flash alternately, and after a while only the red LED flashes and the console does not start. There is no picture. The console was modified once, but I don't know how, because I already bought one. I unplugged the drives and it was still the same. PS now the console is not making noise. Maybe it's a hard drive?

    This is Xbox One for sure? Maybe 360?

    This is not an Xbox One but an Xbox in the first version (Classic)

    If alternating orange and green are blinking, check AV cable connection first.
    How loud was she walking, i.e. that the fan was not working, i.e. the console was overheating and now the red light is on.
    Try replacing the paste under the CPU and GPU, maybe you didn't have time to fry anything.

    I changed the AV cable to the other one and then the same. However, the LED does not flash orange (optical illusion ? ;) only green and red alternately for a while. Later, you can hear a loud humming noise from the fan and only the orange LED is on for a few seconds, then the console turns off completely.

    And nothing is displayed on the screen? Since the cable is ok and other colors are flashing, a number should be displayed, indicating an error code.
    If green-red - disassemble the console, disconnect the drive and disk, reconnect. These colors indicate a HDD or drive connection problem.

    To be sure, you can also replace the paste, because it takes 10 minutes of robots, and the first Xs like to overheat. The original paste is dry to a chip after so many years :)

    Unplugging the drives gives nothing because without them the green and red LEDs continue to flash. Can I give an IDE cable to the disk and drive from my computer? They are the same? The fan works perfectly and is quiet so a loud noise must have been generated by the hard drive and now it may have completely gone. There is no picture, and when you turn on the console, you can only hear a puff in the speakers for a moment. Should the console show any image after unfastening the drives?
    After examining the motherboard, I found a strange stain like rosin on one of the resistors near the NVIDIA processor. After cleaning it looks quite suspicious. It is a resistor number R7D10. The R7D1 resistor located a bit further is also suspicious. I attach photos of these resistors.

    I meant you to check the connection to the disk and drive, just unplug and plug it back in, then turn it on and see.
    Maybe there is no connection somewhere, through tarnished contacts or something. You can also clean the connectors on the disk and drive with some electronics cleaner.

    A screen of this type should appear on the screen (but connect the consoles with HDD and drive), with the number in the upper left corner:
    Xbox 1 Console Issue: Alternating Orange & Green LEDs, Red Flashing Light, No Picture, Loud Noise
    The cables are identical to those on your PC for IDE drives, so you can swap them.

    R7D1 and R7D10 are connected, someone before you was playing in reworking the TSOP, that's why he soldered the points where there were no resistors originally.
    After these points, I also know that you have a motherboard between V1.2 and V1.5 :)
    Personally, I bet 80% that the hard drive in your console simply collapsed.

    But if the hard drive has fallen, after unplugging it from the motherboard, I should have the same message as in the screen you posted. And in my case, after disconnecting the drives, the green and red LEDs continue to flash and there is no image on the screen. I connected the AV and power cable from the second twin console and nothing else.
    I would also put it on the disk because before the failure it was walking like a Russian tank and now it is quiet. But why am I not seeing any screen?
    As for the paste under the prock, I will replace it, but at the moment it is not the reason why the console does not turn on because it will not even heat up because it does not turn on and the fan works efficiently, so it provides good cooling.

    Cytat z forum anglojęzycznego:
    Quote:
    If it flashes green and reboots and then flashes red green, it's the eeprom that's corrupt or has been flashes with another Xbox version.
    ( reason I know I done it lmao had to buy an eeprom reader to fix it )

    You get no image on the screen when this happens.


    Tak więc to by się zgadzało.

    That would be perfect. Uploading the wrong flash version is eliminated because the console worked earlier, so the EPROM could just be damaged. Only in this case is the console to be crushed?

    You can probably read the EEPROM and try to upload it again, but I have never done it personally so I have no experience.

    How to read / write eeprom, maybe you can find answer and tutorial here:

    Ok. I will not do it myself. Anyone know of a website where they could repair such an antique console?

    Eeprom malfunction. The photos you took were TSOP bridges, someone took them poorly. I have for sale working motherboards with a power supply after Tsopa, priv. Best regards.

    So the entire motherboard was replaced. There was nothing to be done with the old one. By the way, the disk was replaced with 250GB.
    The topic can be closed.

    The entire motherboard has been replaced in the console. The eprom was probably damaged.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around an Xbox 1 console experiencing issues characterized by alternating orange and green LED lights, followed by a red flashing light, no display output, and previously loud operation. Users suggest checking the AV cable connection, potential overheating due to fan failure, and the need to replace thermal paste under the CPU and GPU. The original poster clarifies that the console is an Xbox Classic, not an Xbox One, and mentions a possible hard drive failure. Further troubleshooting includes inspecting connections, cleaning tarnished contacts, and examining the motherboard for damage. Ultimately, the motherboard was replaced, and a new 250GB hard drive was installed, resolving the issues.
