I just got an OG Xbox from a family member two days ago.

It’s probably broken in terms of an error message and I might know what the problem is and should be an easy fix for when I get back to Florida. Overall, it should turn on-ish. Just got to get a power cord and HDMI.

it worked one time and when I shut it off and turned on again I couldn’t get it to do it again tried re flashing again multiple times and re soldering the connections as well but still no luck

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Here’s the original ‘menu card’ from the Xbox launch event 25 years ago. You selected what you wanted before hitting the front of the Toys R Us line in Times Square.

Should I exchange my Xbox series x and top tier Xbox series x games for a 2005 $30 xbox 360 that comes with only Sneak King?

Should I do this trade? The 360 has a taped disc tray and it's look mad tough and fine. I am dying to play sneak king on the 360 and was wondering if this trade was genius. I paid $500 for the series x and even more for the series x games.

Capacitor kits in the UK

Anyone know of any reputable sellers? I've heard it's a bad idea to buy the kits off Amazon or eBay and a lot of the recommendations I see on the sub are sellers based in the US.

Xbox usually FRAGs the 1st (sometimes 2nd & 3rd) boot of the day. 90% of the time it boots sucessfully every attempt after that. Could this be caused by a dying capacitor?

All capacitors look perfectly fine. No bulging at all. I tested the power supply in another unit and has no issues.

How to hard mod/upgrade HDD on console with faulty disc drive?

I have an old Xbox that I got working; however, the disc drive won't read any discs. In my research, it seems like the standard hard modding route involves using a burned disc to format the new HDD after it's installed in the console. My question is, what is the easiest route to go about hard modding/installing a new HDD without being able to read discs?

This will be my first time modding. Thanks.

Xbox 1.0 freezing at EvoX boot screen - board or HDD issue?

YO! I picked up a broken Xbox 1.0 and been troubleshooting it. Original issue was "Powers on, but no display/Post." Here's what I know:

  • Was able to get it to post: Blue Xbox logo with EvoX logo. flashed to TSOP??
  • Clock capacitor removed (first thing i did when opening. pic of board taken before removal)
  • Fresh thermal paste applied, heatsink secured
  • New IDE cable installed just for testing I had an extra 40 laying around)

Symptoms:

  • Boots to EvoX/Xbox splash screen then freezes regardless of what's connected
  • Freezes with HDD connected, without HDD, with known good HDD from working console (trying out everything to try and get to an error screen)
  • After freezing for a while, Ring starts alternating red/green
  • No bad caps visible, IDE port looks good

Any ideas on what could cause it? Should I try my hand at replacing caps?

Possible bad RAM? IDE controller issue? Any help appreciated!!! I'm very new at trying Xbox repair!

Also, I know this system needs a good cleaning :)
