Xbox Power

Options
Hi all,

I need some advice, I am moving to the US and wanted to know if I am able to use my Xbox in the us with a standard adapter. My Xbox has been modified so has a internal hard disk which I use to store music and picture etc.

Any help advice would be great.

Thanks

    hi there,you have a few options.
    you can use a step up transformer 110 to 240v or if your tech minded just replace the internal PSU with a USA spec one.
    its a simple job
    6 torx bolts to open the case
    another 3 to remove the hard drive caddy/dvd drive
    then 4 to remove the PSU and unclip the power connector to the motherboard.
    although you need to identify you motherboard version to get the correct PSU

    Thanks for the information, I just found the following site were you can buy a switchable power supply that covers all voltages.

    Don't forget that if you are using the Xbox through a TV then you will have problems due to the difference in TV formats (PAL/NTSC).
