red light on charger

[shaky]

my friend dropped his xbox and it would not boot up after , i stripped it down and changed the board at the front it comes on now but if i turn it off and leave it the light on mthe charger goes red what does this mean

[shaky]

sorry sorted it now i think it means there isnt anough power going into the xbox , maybe because it is an old power brick on a newer xbox

red
would be telling you
there is something wrong with the power supply
or there is something wrong with the power circuits on the mobo

and no man
a old power supply will power any console
if the console dont need that much thats ok,but it can still power a new console and just have xtra power (so to speak)
but
a new power supply will not power a older console that need more power
because the power supply cant make the power need by the older consoles

it powers on and off now every time now i changed the little curcuit board at the front you think there could be other damage

if its working
then i dont guess so

i just tried another charger and it sends that one red aswell when i turn the xbox off not right away a couple of minutes after

Red is also caused by a short.

Some mobo's if they detect a short, they will instantly cut off the power turning the brick red.

A friend of mine flashed his box and couldnt figure out why all his power bricks were going red, I took it apart and noticed the drive's power cable was half unplugged, plugged it back in and it all worked.

I'd say if you swapped the RF module and your brick goes green and console boot's then there is probably a short or something wrong with it, but should be fine if you've swapped it.

it is still doing it , when the power pack goes red i turn it off and back on it goes green but turn the xbox on it goes off and the power pack goes red

If he dropped the console, there could be damage to a joint or connection or something.

[shaky]

dont surpose there is any chance of finding it is there on the mobo could be anywhere

[HaGGardSmurf]

It'll be a huge pain.

If your take the motherboard out of the metal chassis does it power up?

[shaky]

dont no i will try now get back to you in a while

[shaky]

just tried that but still no power at all it powered up half an hour ago staid on for a good 5 mins when i turned it off to see iff it would power back up it wouldnt it seems dead now

Damn man, I dont know this is weird.
