UPDATE: It works! I hooked it up to a new power brick and sure enough its powers up. There is a sequence of signals that happen between the XBOX and the PSU which I discussed in the video above and I will…

Just unacceptable the treatment the box suffered. Clem PS I see large copper cooling coils in the back. Does this generate a lot of heat to dissipate?

This is a really interesting approach for a video -- it's almost like a Ben Heck spin off show! How's the repair going, ipv1 ? Perhaps benheck and makerkaren might have some advice on cobbling the Xbone…

YAY!!!

This is more of a "Cry like a baby for help" show for electronics. But honestly, I am stumped. I cannot understand what the XBOX One refuses to boot and if anything is actually damaged.
And if https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF-W7pFW3Y8 is to be believed, the power brick is the doctor... Fingers crossed.

How's the repair going, ipv1? Perhaps benheck and makerkaren might have some advice on cobbling the Xbone back together?

The original Xbox one has a huge fan but it was removed and replaced with these two buzzards. There is a copper cooling pipe with some fluid and the fins are actually steel no copper. There is a big X shaped heatsink that touched the APU but I did not get to that since Im still hopeful of that it will work.

I did receive the Power brick I ordered so will give it a go this weekend. If there are any suggestions, lemme know
