One day, I bought a fat 360 from a second hand shop and as soon as I got it, I looked on the back and it was a Zephyr (a xenon but with hdmi). Got home and powered it on, worked well. 3 weeks later, press the power button and I had a 3 ring RRoD. I was so sad, so I took it back to the second hand shop I got it from and they offered a replacement of my choice. So now I have a Xbox 360 S.
Im surprised that the 2006 console didnt have the red ring of death, i think that the 2010 console is worth opening up cleaning and changing the thermal paste and all controllers also worth cleaning, the battery packs usually you can clean them and they work
Yeah I was surprised as well that the 2006 didn't rrod lol. It was only a fairly recent dashboard so it's been played recently as well. It's like a unicorn console
If i could choose between them i would definetely choose the jasper system, it's the most normal, functional disc tray, addons, however it's yellowed out and probably ate way too much dust. Just some cleaning in the hardware and shell and it feels like awesome
I won an auction for a untested Xbox 360 from eBay for only $21 2 weeks ago (system only) I decided to deep clean it before testing it out (it was really dusty inside and the disc drive rubber band was sticky) and it works perfectly and even better I checked the plug on the console and it’s a jasper model (the ones that don’t red ring) what a steal
I still have my original Xbox 360 arcade. Only came with a 256 mb memory card when I got it in 2008 but I upgraded to a 250 gb hdd later on. And it still works perfectly today. I believe I still have the original box also.
That's unlucky, my 2008 arcade console came with a 512MB memory card and I just remembered you couldn't play the Halo 3 campaign without a hard drive lol
This video reminds me of a 360 I got a few months ago from from a local thrift store. Was just checking the stores little mini hardware selection and happened to come across a pretty sad looking Xbox 360. It was a very early Jasper console from November 2008. Was missing the face plate and side vent covers, the case was also popped open and the warranty seals were removed, it was also covered in handmade stickers. Also Came with the power supply so I took the gamble and bought it for $10. I brought it home and dusted it out then hooked it up and surprisingly it booted right up. I did quickly find the reason as to why it was in pieces. Turns out it just had a stuck disk drive. So a quick drive belt replacement and a few new case pieces later I now use it as my everyday driver for when I wanna play some 360. A extra little interesting bit about it was that when I booted it up it was on the first rendition of the metro dashboard I did end up updating it just because the state of the console really meant it didn’t really have much value. Ended up being a pretty fun project though.
@@graysid9769 I'm not much of a console modder myself. I typically just stick to the stock firmware. Sure I could've softmodded it. But personally, I'd rather want to do a PS3 HEN Jailbreak more then say JTAGing a 360. Plus I have two other 360s I could JTAG if I wanted to.
Nice! I got a late jasper (2009) 360 at a yard sale for $5, the thing worked fine but had a stuck disc drive... a little syringe of water on the belt later and... it worked perfectly! Edit: It included an official 60GB HDD Too!
Basic summary: First console is on old 2011 Metro, second and third consoles are on Metro-R [2012-present] First console is on 15574, first RGH 2.0 dashboard.
Battery packs are pretty easy to fix. It's usually the metal contact on the side. That rectangle hole in the middle of the wording. It's there to prevent short circuit when not installed. Poke it with a small screwdriver and you'll see how it works. I take a little piece of foil from a chocolate bar and jam it in between the metal contacts.
Ah I do remember reading someone repairing them by doing something similar to you (sticking foil in that hole). Never knew that was there to prevent short circuiting though, thx for the info
The most interest thing I bought from a thrift store was a keyboard for free But another story, I got a GameCube(with jammed power and reset button) from a friend for $20
I've had a couple of eBay seller put shredded paper as packaging, it's really annoying! Mine was a sealed box, so I got it out fine but having it potentially stuck inside the controllers is unacceptable. Like what's wrong with some old newspapers or something?
“You can’t come back from RROD” dude, have you even managed one of these systems back in the day? Mine fully recovered and lasted until I got my xbone in 2013…..
My Jasper (Resident Evil red console) died recently (after being stored for a while). At first I thought the brick was broken (Red LED), but I had the same issue with a replacement. After opening the console I've noticed all 1500µF are leaking :( Looks like I've found my first soldering project.
A little late but that is an aftermarket hard drive, for sure. The silver sticker should have Microsoft hologram patterns in it, and the original capacity is always listed on the outside, I don't believe they ever just said "HDD". My Elite from 2008 says "120GB HDD" on it.
11:47 Oh trash they are... Sometimes when I have to change the batteries on my controller, I spend half an hour trying to get it to turn on. And a fun fact: The newest xbox 360 dashboard update came out on November 12th 2019.
I got a dreamcast from ebay a few weeks ago that was packed using shredded paper... Thankfully goodwill wraps the consoles with bubble wrap, my seller just chucked the console and controller in the paper so I had to disassemble everything to get the paper shreds out before I could even use it. Sellers who use shredded paper should be tarred and feathered! Edit: That warranty sticker was only applied to consoles that were refurbished by microsoft. So that xenon is working because it's been refurbed by microsoft and should be as reliable as the jasper model.
Man Ive been looking for a working Xbox 360 with the old Xenon motherboard. Always cool to have. I have an xbox 360 S right now with I believe the newer Trinity motherboard. Still runs strong.
Fairly certain that third console is an Opus, not a Xenon. I can't tell by looking at the power port in this video but look at the warranty sticker. That style wasn't being used in 2006. Opus is quite a cool find.
Great Video! Just some advice: On the top down table scenes there's a really woofy low noise. It sounds like vibrations from the table being recorded by your mic. Probably around 50hz
Well I learned something new, didn't know those battery holders on the controller could be the issue. Sold a broken chrome controller that probably only needed that! :(
i bought 5 games at goodwill yesterday 1.99$/ea: NBA 14 - xbox1 NBA 16 - Xbox1 L.A. Noire (only disc 1 :/) - xbox 360 Xbox magazine April 2004 disc # 30 - Xbox OG and limited edition sega gt 2002/JSRF - Xbox OG
One way to find out if the hard drive is real or fake is the fact that Xbox original games will not work on the Xbox 360 without an official hard drive. You’ll also need a specific Xbox 360 compatible Xbox original games which is around half the Xbox original library
Things to get the red ring of death on the new board. 1. USB 2. Xbox 360 Change the boot device to the usb and put no firmware device on usb and you have new board red ring of death
Cool thing about that wireless adapter is you also need it for the slim model for wireless internet in most houses. Mine wouldn't pick up, but plug this in and it worked immediately. I asked a tech guy at Spectrum and he said the slim models have a wifi that can't pick up a signal for these newer internet signals most of us have. I was lucky enough to have kept mine because I didn't know that
The problem with the slim adapters is they struggle with AES encryption on WPA 2 secured wi-fi networks. If you use TKIP encryption for WPA2 it has a bit more stability but I wouldn't use anything less than AES at this point. Though WPA2 will probably be phased out in a couple of years as WPA3 becomes more mainstream in more affordable routers.
Tear them all apart, blow out all the dust and apply new thermal paste to CPU and GPU, soak the case plastics in the sink overnight in HOT water and dish soap, scrub away grime with a brush. Clean laser lenses with q-tip and alcohol, and replace drive belts, they're $4 for 10 belts on eBay. Check the large capacitors on the older boards for signs of bulging.
The second Xbox 360 at 5:35 might be the lesser known Tonasket model due to it's manufacture year being 2010. Tonasket was the final motherboard used on the original Xbox 360 consoles. Tonasket was first introduced in late 2009 (also the same time as the Kronos GPU) and used up until the release of the Xbox 360 Slim. Tonasket 360's are basically updated versions of Jasper motherboards, sometimes referred to as Jasper V2 by fans
But the word Microsoft is nowhere to be seen even on that holographic stickier it’s just plain. Edit: I have one and it definitely has Microsoft markings on it
For the things I got from a thrift store the most interesting things were probably a og Xbox with the cables, controller, and even a game inside for 30 bucks untested, and it worked just fine. And I also got a mailbox for two bucks, one of the greatest things I ever bought 👍
I've bought quite a few games from Goodwill thru Amazon. Most have come in the original case with the manuals and the disc have been in great condition. I've been pretty surprised to be honest.
Ah looking back at that Xenon, it’s red ringed before. That sticker is a MS repair sticker. It’s had the GPU replaced. Also heard the disc drive which is a newer drive found in Falcons and Jaspers (they put those drives in Xenons when they replaced GPUs within the 3 year warranty.)
No surprise the 2010 works. That's a Kronos 512MB (aka Jasper BB) you're running there. I just got one today and it's looking nice, just needs a cleaning. Mine has white trim on the DVD - quite a nice touch to be honest. I got mine from a chap selling some 360s he found in the basement. I've already talked to him and he agreed to ship over another Xenon and a Zephyr as well (since they weren't at the location he got the Jasper and a 08' Falcon I bought from). Fingers crossed that the Xenon and Zeph run Blades
I got a excellent condition matt finish black xbox 360 with power brick and hdmi with 1 controller on fb market place for only $20. Everything works and even the disc reader. I’m so please with this purchased. 🙂👍
I had a battery pack fail while the controller had batteries in it, i wasn’t using it when it did fail, fortunately, in my case i just thought “thats weird, why isn’t the controller turning on?”, tried replacing the batteries, nothing, so i tried swapping the battery pack from a different controller (i have 3 controllers), and the controller then worked
You have to test the keyboard in a COD lobby and see how fast you can type a salty message back to somebody. Until that test, it cannot be confirmed to be 100% working ;)
My dad got an 360 with the manufacture date of 07 from one of his friends during the pandemic, he thought it would make a good present for me since I had been in the market, it wasn’t tested, it worked but it got rroded about three weeks in, still it lasted 13 years too long for a non Jasper.
I purchased a lot of 9 Xbox 360 consoles from goodwill about a year ago (3 original consoles, 6 model S consoles) for just over $100. One of the OG consoles had a disc drive that would occasionally jam, and one of the S consoles overheated, but besides that they all worked. Also came with all the power bricks, hard drives, a bunch of HDMI cables, and four controllers. Definitely found a bargain! I ended up selling everything for a huge profit.
You can fix RROD permanently, depending on what is causing the issue. If the issue is due to the cold soldering / GPU issues, it can be fixed for good if you can get the chip to make connection with the board. Sometimes the chip itself is damaged from overheating, the issue can be fixed but overtime with enough heat, it will come back. The RROD is unavoidable on the older fat Xbox, unless you make a completely different case for it and provide it with better cooling, eventually it will overheat to the point that the GPU heats the cold soldering and disconnects from the board. The jasper boards that claimed they "fixed" the issue. All they did was turn up the fan curve so the fan would spin faster at lower Temps keeping the system from overheating during certain games. GTA V was notorious for RROD'ing fat xbox's I remembered when it launched... We had almost 100 units hit the shop in under a month, which for a small town PC repair shop, is insane!!! We didn't even offer repair on them at the time but from where I fixed my own at home I figured I might as well help as much as I can. These were the firsts chips that I used grizzly K on to keep the Temps cool.
bought a xbox, xenon with build of 2006.... they sent me a falcon system.. and it works... wanted the xenon though. Goodwill can be a hit or miss... ive gotten more hits but im sure the xenon system is gone already...
