Why won't my console turn on?

I had bought a preowned original xbox on Lukiegames and the system had worked fine for awhile but today it just suddenly refuses to turn on when I press either the tray button or power button. What is wrong with it and what do I have to do?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Sacatuki! Does the Xbox display any sort of indicator, such as a sequence of flashing leds on the power and eject button, or an error code on screen?

Try powering on the Xbox with a different power cable, on a different outlet in your home. This will rule out a faulty power cable and/or faulty power outlet. The Original Xbox uses a generic IEC cable - you most likely will have another device that uses the same cable, and if not they only cost around $4. If it still doesn't work after that, most likely your PSU has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
