Yes, I know I said it hadn't been powered on for years literally 2 minutes after plugging it in, but that's because I'm stupid. I checked all the capacitors on the power board and they were all in the microvolts, just to make sure it was safe to work on. 😬

Love your videos Steve and you are correct, like others have said, its basically a dongle or a way to bypass the main menu so you could watch DVDs on the Xbox. It originally came with a remote and you had to buy it separate from the system itself. You couldn't watch DVDs without that dongle. If you soft-mod the Xbox and put XBMC on it, you can watch DVDs / DVDRs / CDRs without the need of having that dongle.

There are many texts and videos out there about this faulty clock capacitor. It should be removed in all older XBoxes since it's known to damage stuff around it. A mod chip might also be a great addition to it. That way it might make a cool media center device. These XBoxes are incredible fine consoles. Even for today. They deserve to be repaired and preserved! Good job on this one, Steve. I love all your repair videos. They gave me the impulse to finally learn soldering etc. Thanks for all your amazing videos!

I've got a modded one sitting in storage that I fixed after I messed up loading XBMC. I managed to get the hard drive unlocked and readable by the pc I used to fix it by booting the Xbox and unplugging the hard drive data cable from the Xbox during the boot splash screen. Then plugged it into the PC when I had the bios boot sequence paused. This allowed the PC to see the drive as a native drive and allow read/write access.
@Stefan_Payne2 жыл бұрын
just blows that all of them will die due to leaky Caps... So if you have an OG XBOX, you have to open it up and replace the Clock Caps and the high water containing Ultra Low ESR Caps with suitable replacements (Panasonic FM! and ONLY those are suitable. As they are the only ones I found with similar Impedance to the Original Caps)
@stevenbenson99762 жыл бұрын
Don’t remove the clock cap in the 1.6 as it will NOT work without it. It also is a better quality and rarely if ever fails. You have the best xbox model which is 1.1. It has a 1 Meg bios chip on it. It can be TSOP flashed without requiring any mod chip at all and you get the full benefits of the mod chip as a result. You can also opt to split the TSOP into two banks of 512 and install a switch to alternate between the two. you really really should mod this as you can change the EEPROM to read that it is an NTSC model and then it’ll open up the HD resolutions with an applicable component or HDMI cable. The Euro models are stuck in 480p until the mod is complete. You may also if you want an additional challenge install the missing 4 ram modules to get it up to 128 MB of ram, which makes emulators a bit better specifically the N64.

It's a shame that so many Xbox's have so many problems, who knows how many consoles throughout the years have been tossed because they stopped working, or something as simple as the disc tray stopped opening. The xbox original is one of my favorite consoles and it has so many classic games. If you became quite familiar with them, one could probably make a decent living fixing them, since 90% of the problems are either with the fault disc drive or the clock capacitor.

I recently found your channel and it is so relaxing and fun. It was exciting when this video popped up on my feed. This is one of the few consoles I have worked on. I had all the same faults as you except for the cold solder joint on the power board. While I have never understood most of what you do in your videos as I’m a newbie, today I was excitedly hoping you would catch the clock capacitor. Just to let you know, several sources online stated it isn’t worth replacing that capacitor as the machine runs fine without it and even replacement capacitors are prone to leakage. For what it’s worth, my main Xbox does not have that capacitor and the only downside is that I have to re-enter the time and date if I unplug the console. That said, it usually remains plugged in so it is no bother and it is a small price to pay to not worry about issues down the line. One last thing, I was so happy to see you take the care to peel back the stickers. It would have been nice to see the end result, but I took the same approach on my unit and you can’t tell it was ever opened. It’s sad so many of these consoles have the stickers damaged because people didn’t take that step. I know it is a small thing, but it feels like a nice step in maintaining old video game hardware. Thanks for a fun video and great karaoke as usual!
