Diagnostic Steps

Usually an Xbox that shows no signs of life is due to a missing standby voltage.

The first voltage required is 12V, this line is produced from the power supply.

Connect your power supply to the motherboard and then to mains power with your multimeter measure the test point shown on the image below.
