Hello,

I have been happily using my SmartXX v3 modded xbox for a few months.

I recently unplugged the unit as I knew I would not be using it for some time (long vacation). When I went to plug it back in weeks later. I saw a spark from the outlet, which always occured, but then the unit would not power on.

I have a watt meter and plugging it into the xbox reveals that the unit pulls power when I plug it in. Even though I can't turn it on, I still see a spark every time I plug it in.

So is it a PSU fuse? Would the unit pull power from the wall socket if it was blown? Is it more serious like a motherboard fuse?

I haven't been able to take the unit apart yet as I am quite busy for the next few weeks.

Any thoughts, comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance
