Console is not turning on but has power to USB ports?

So my Xbox One x is not turning on. I'm pretty tech savvy and can't seem to find a problem. It still has power to the USB ports and the controller vibrates when I plug it up. I took a power supply out of a working Xbox One X and it will would not turn on. I tried hitting all the buttons, turning it on with controller and putting a disc in it(didn't take the disc) none of these things turned it on. Anyone ran into this and could give some input? Thanks!

Answer this question I have this problem too

As of July 14th (that I'm aware of) I am having the same problem. The USB ports are powered, but the power button does nothing.

One or many Mosfet chips may of blown on the mainboards power rails. You would need to know how to diagnose these and replace with professional heatstation. Check out NorthridgeFix or Andrew Paul on how this issue is fixed.

Just a note - the power rail mosfets on the Xbox one X that Aidan has mentioned are not replaceable, they're fixed onto the board using epoxy.

Please do not try to replace them.

Hi, I have the same problem. No power, but USB ports are working and can charge the controllers, etc. Does anybody found the solution for this problem ?
