Xbox power supply failure damages pcb

xbox power supply fries PCB

This appears to be an Xbox revision 1.1 where the power supply failure caused significant damage to the PCB.  The vented capacitor in the picture is a 680uF/16V capacitor which shorted, damaged the FET, and led to the failure of the power plane.  Ideally the power supply should sense failure conditions and shut down.  The FET was a Philips 21N06.  Credits: Ahmad Tabbouch of http://ultrakeet.com.au.
