So I recently got an original Xbox from my friend. I take it home and i plug it into, etc., and i turn it on. Works for about 5 seconds, then turn itself off. The longest it will stay on for is about 10-13 seconds. I called Xbox support and the guy suggested I buy a new power cord. I did that, and I tried it again. It worked... and then shut off again. So obviously its nothing to do with the power cord. Suggestions?
 
I know this thread is very old, but did you ever find a solution? This sounds like the same problem I’ve been trying to fix for a few months. The console won’t hold power - power supply is fine (works with another Xbox) and it will start up/open the disc tray for a second then close and power down.
