hello again. having a sudden issue with the xbox randomly shutting itself off. it seems to happen the quickest when i start an ftp and start transferring files it will just shut down. at first i thought it was being caused by a problem with the 2t sata i put in it, but it had gone about a week or so before i turned it on one day and it was doing this. i started looking into it and there seems to be a type of psu that has problems and can possibly catch fire? does anyone have more info and maybe steps to test and replace if needed?

here is the whole board


and here is a closer picture of the left side that the tutorials said would be the main issue.

also i was looking at the spot that i soldered there under where that tape pad thing is, could i have killed that trace to the left?

That one spot doesn't come up, do you have a suggestion for it? Is it even a problem? I am totally new to this and finding the most recent information is difficult. Im here because this community is usually helpful with these kind of things.

OK, thank you. Do i need to just replace it with the same model? Or is there an improved one? I have seen all this stuff saying the foxlinks can catch fire, so I'm wondering if there is an alternative, or if its just over exaggerated.
