The Xbox One is an eighth-generation home video game console produced by Microsoft on November 22, 2013 and was retailed for $499. It had an AMD 8-core APU at 1.75 GHz and 8GB of RAM. It has an AMD GPU on the AMD Radeon GCN architecture. Early in its life, it was heavily criticized for intrusive DRM, such as always-online and lack of used game sharing. These have since been removed. Notably, this console runs on the x86 architecture with a modified Windows OS, so it is essentially a watered-down PC.

Power adapter voltage modification (110V to 220V)

Xbox One power adapters are not wide range, which is not common for modern electronic equipment. However 110V power adapters could be modified to accept 220V.

Danger: This operation is only available for model PB-2221-02MX manufactured by LiteOn. Do not attempt such modifications on other models or manufacturers, even if you can find similar components mentioned here inside the power supply. Failed to do so could result in unstable performance, dead power supply, or electric shock/fire/explosion in extreme cases.

1. Open the case and get the main PCB out.
2. Desolder this resistor on the component side, marked in the blue circle.
3. Desolder components marked R153 and C154 on the back side, marked in the red square.
4. Either cut open this connection on the back side marked by the yellow line, or desolder the component marked in the red box.
5. Reinstall the main PCB and reassemble the case.
