I Finally Bought One of These! Can I Fix It? I bought this rare Xbox after looking for one for quite a while. Of course I wanted a broken one so I could try to fix it. I did pay $515 for it which is a lot but it's worth it to me because it's just so cool... so hopefully I can get it working, eventually.

capacitors don't contain an acid, they contain a base, an alkaline base I think, and that's why vinegar is used to neutralize it. if it was an acid you would use a base to neutralize it, like baking soda. but even though it is a base, it will still eat away and destroy the components, just like if you were to leave the vinegar on there without cleaning it off (well, maybe not the vinegar that's used as food grade because it's diluted quite a bit.. but it would do SOME damage, but probably not as much as the caps do)- GOTTA LOVE SCIENCE!!!

Fuse on the power supply is most likely gone. I'd check it in continuity mode. No beep = blown fuse. T2A 250V Fuse.

These were done with codes found on bottles of Mountain Dew. My mom would literally go to the market near my house and take the bottle caps off the returned Mountain Dew bottles. I had enough points to get one but they only allowed you to trade in the points at a certain time. I went to a summer camp for a week, during that time they released it and I missed my window. I am still so freaking upset I never got one of these.

Have you tried using IPA to get stickers up? It's what I use. The lockpicking lawyer used it as well to lift a tamper proof sticker. Maybe it helps - good luck!

@kforkrish

I'm 35yo And let alone seeing this, i hardly even know such thing existed until now. 😅

@seguramlk

That's a beautiful OG Xbox

@sugentechnologies1527

Vinegar is an acid. If it neutralizes anything, then the cap must have a base electrolytic and not acid.

@adventureridergirl

I had an OG Xbox with cold solder joints on the PSU wires that got to the main board. This was preventing the main board from getting any power from the PSU. I removed most of the old solder with solder wick and replaced it with some fresh solder and it solved the problem.

@christopherturski3924

I would test the traces near the battery clock under board to make sure there was no trace rot. Those traces affect the power😊. There are test points you can check. Might have to install a jumper wire or trace repair.

@intoxicode

Just make sure you get rid of all the vinegar when you use it as a neutralizer since it will continue to corrode the board especially if it's underneath chips. Best to rinse the board with distilled water to displace it, then rinse with iso.

@SCTRS_

I bought one of these around 5 years ago, it’s probably my favorite console I’ve owned. Looking forward to part 2, really hoping you can get it fixed!

@jonathan3579

Man, I appreciate that you still upload videos even if they’re not always a success.

@SaltyFPV

Wow great find. Love your work and the way you keep these museum pieces going.

@makedaevilmage

A common problem with these xboxes is damaged traces along the front of the board. Traces for the power led, on/off button and eject. There are points on the board you can solder jumper wires to, to resolve this issue ;) (Done this myself twice now, got both consoles working).

@AllenRamirez-007

To remove stickers, try using the edge of one of anti static bags. Slide under the sticker and shimmy back and forth. Works well!

@ericcleland817

Im excited to see the 2nd video on this xbox repair. Its always interesting to see the process of working through the individual circuit board components too bring back old tech. Thanks TronixFix.

@jrharbortproductions

Denatured alcohol is a good way to loosen the adhesive of stickers (even the security/warranty ones!) without damaging them. It even keeps the adhesive sticky once it evaporates.

@SickaMorStyle

Really enjoy your videos. I’ve been watching for a while now. Your videos have helped me troubleshoot and fix my stove circuit board, guitar amplifier, and a few elite controllers.
