    I would get a volt meter and start poking around...might be easier to buy another xbox to be honest.

    Could be the actual ethernet socket too. I believe they are magjacks that contain the required magnetics within the connector itself.

    Sounds like your Xbox may be permanently damaged. There should be some protection on the ethernet connection, but if its blown the transceiver, it's possibly damaged more components too I'm afraid.

    Copying movies, games, music. XBMC, Xlink Kai, System link, etc. I guess why wouldn't you have Ethernet plugged into an original Xbox.

    The ICS Chip Is Bad .. The Chip right behind the Ethernet port.. I have replaced these before On xbox 360.
    And I'm 98% sure its that ICS Chip

    Let this be a warning to people with expensive things, use a proper UPS / surge.

    I hope you get it working again.
