I dont usually visit the ouya forum so sorry if this is a common issue but google wasnt very conclusive.
My son's ouya just wont power on. He complained before and it was one of those things where i pushed the button & it turned on. (Though i did notice the input jack was a bit flimsy, not flush.)
Now i cant get it to work. I opened it up. Its remarkably simple in there!--one piece. I tried plugging it straight into the board . Theres a faint, sort of higher pitched hum but no light. Im wondering if this is common? Seems like a bad power supply but this is less than 3 months old.
Still under warranty but just hoping to get some info. Thanks!

Try a different power supply. Most 12V supplies will fit the jack. The one it comes with always seemed kinda lame. If that doesn't work contact the OUYA people, they were pretty cool and sent me a replacement when I bricked mine.
