Hey, I've got the big original black Xbox one and it's recently been giving me trouble with the power supply, the actual box on the cord is sitting orange but it's not turning on, it's not super urgent, but I can't get it to start without an hour or two of messing with it, so it doesn't seem to be bricked, it's still sealed but I don't mind taking it apart to work on it, as I have a bit of experience with electronic repairs, but I'd like a more informed opinion before I go rooting around in there, I also have a Seagate 1tb terabyte drive that affects the consoles power, usually having to be unplugged before it starts

A little update: it seems the hard drive is almost entirely responsible for the problems, and can be plugged back in once the Xbox starts
