Hey everyone I found my old xbox in the closet and booted it into a game for like 2 minutes just to check it was working. Then wanted to surprise a friend for his birthday with retro gaming night and it never booted again weeks later! Was super sad, the xbox would try to turn on and die three times and then flash the LED red and green.
I started looking online for troubleshooting steps and found all this clock capacitor stuff. I opened it up and sure enough it looked pretty bad. I cleaned up the area after removing it but still doesn't boot :( do I need to replace the five larger looking caps by the cpu? Are those 1500uf 6.3v?
the manufacture date is 2002-04-16 so I believe that's 1.0
oh nice thats a great comment link, thanks!
