I have tested the connection to XBL and theres no response on the first step. It says not connected for Network adapter but my router is connected 100% and is working because my regular xbox and computer can network and go online. It won't even show if there is connectivity on the router to the 360 and no luck, so I know that its the box. Is there anyway I can fix this? DO you think that it might be internal? If so, where on the mother board is the Common parts that fry or break down for the ethernet port so I can solder it.

you have tried using another network cable i hope?

You have also made sure that you havent set some custom settings to the 360 that cause it to be unable to get an IP address from your router?

Call MS and they can walk you through some things as well..

well yeah, i tried using a different cord and still it fails to connect on the first step. I even tried connecting through a direct connection to my motorola surfboard modem. Well here are some pictures of the tv on the first step. any ideas?

ok: run the test, click [More Info], Press (Y). then tell us the WXYZ codes.

i tested my xbox with no cable in it and got:

W: 0000 - 0000
X: 8000 - 0011
Y: 0000 - 0000
Z: 0000 - 0000


(with a perfect connection to XBL i got:
W: 0000 - 000B
X: 0000 - F001
Y: 20A8 - 4860
Z: 8007 - 2F78
That is a wired connection, IP, DNS, MTU. ICMP all comfirmed, XBL Connected, and NAT open.
your codes will be different.
)

Oh, and we (the community) dont know for sure what the XYZ codes actually mean, only microsoft does. i know that we made great progress on the xbox 1 with figuring out the XYZ codes, but i havnt looked into it on the 360. (might be different)

If you cant fix this and if you can't or don't want to replace your 360, I'd suggest going wireless.

it is two years down the road from this post and i am having this problem now on my console.

I -
Do NOT have a modded xbox360
Do have a compatible router
Have tried different ethernet cables
have called 8004myxbox and had no real help


i cannot connect to live and i cannot connect to my tversity pc.

I get the disconnected message and i get the same error codes as if it wasnt connected.

i have searched on these forums and the internet and all i seem to find is bs posts only about how people are "banned" from that error code, and thats not always the case, seeing as how i cannot even connect INTERNALLY to a pc on my network.

thanks in advance.

My brother's 360 also has a broken ethernet port because the router it was connected to got surged. He just bought a wireless adapter.
But is there any way to fix it oneself?

i borrowed a wireless adapter from a friend, it works but i cannot stream movies correctly. i always get hiccups in the stream. could it be possible to buy a motherboard that wont work but the ethernet still is good? solder it on?

Probably not as I'm sure its not the connector that has gone bad but a fuse connected to it.

I believe the fuse to check is FB181... its on the right hand side of the network chip labeled 1893bflf.

microsoft said i could send it in for 99 dollars which included a new 1 year warranty and repair and shipping / handling. its either that or send it in as a red ring? :\

I've got the same problem. That fuse is checking out fine on mine. Know of any other fuses to check?

Yes I am having the same PROBLEM! I tried different cables, different connections, Even took the ethernet cable out of my computer and plugged it in. Its not even making contact with the network. The port is damaged but not on the outside- Done checked. Yeah sure I can send it to microsoft but my drive is flashed?

Any advice besides buying a USB adaptor and sending to microsoft?




I will definetly try this later.

I don't know how handy you guys are but if you're feeling froggy after checking fuses you could buy a busted 360's MB and desolder the port and throw it in your 360, I had to do this once with my neighbors 360, I was skeptical at first but it worked.

I'm debating that.. not sure if I should replace the port or the chip.

Aww man this is bullshit now... I was doing some reading, and a member over at TeamXbox has the same issue and he connected his xbox directly from the modem instead of a router and it worked??

Heres the quote,



and heres the link to the thread, http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t...n+ethernet+port

So can it seriously just be a bad cable?? there is no way though. I was seriously using this cable just last night. Also- I plugged the cable in my computer and it works?

This is fustrating. But I did think about what the poster said above to buy a 360 mobo and replace the port. But is it the port or the chip?

Dunno.. I'll keep searching.

That's rather odd since the 360 I have sitting 2 feet away from this one works just fine on the same cable.

ok.. im running out of options. How did you check the fuse? what did you do?

Use a multimeter.

If it's not the fuse then it has to be the port or the chip. I'd just like to figure out how to determine which one it is to save from replacing both unecessarily.

im assuming the chip is U1B1 just left of the FB1B1 fuse?..

ahh then im thinking maybe just to be safe i will just use a wireless adaptor... but that would suck. to go and spend $100 bucks on a damn microsoft wireless adaptor... maybe my cheapness will make me jump and open it up and do it my self... with the big risk of bricking...

Yes, that's the chip.

pull up on the ethernet plug while its in the 360 and hold it there while you check for a connection, I have had at least 2 systems that the prongs didnt look funny but upon closer inspection, something was stuck in one of them up at the top where it goes back into the plastic, and wouldnt let it move all the way to the up most position.

Tried that already, no go. Maybe it'll work for someone else though.

Ok hello all, this is my first post on the forum and I just finished opening up my xbox for the first time as to find out why my xbl isnt working. I noticed in this post that im quoting that this man says his fuse checked out fine. If i may ask, what color is the fuse if its fine? Im looking at mine, and all the others around that exact fuse are brown/ tannish except that fuse FB181 which is black. Is that the normal color for this fuse? If not, what can i do to fix it? Sorry for all my questions, but im eager to get back online.

First post, picked up a used 360 with a borked ethernet port.

My question is, would a blown fuse show a link light on the router? My router shows a link light, that flashes a lot, but the 360 can't connect to the network.

Yes I've tried:
restarting the router
different cable
different port
auto and static IP

Here's my error codes
W:0000-000B
X:8001-1005
Y:0000-0000
Z:0000-0000
ID:FFFF-FFFF

For what it's worth, when the cable is unplugged:
W:0000-0000
X:8001-0015
Y:0000-0000
Z:0000-0000
ID:FFFF-FFFF

does anyone know how to change the fuse or is it just easier to buy a new xbox console
