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!!!

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.

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.

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.
@Tronicsfix
@Tronicsfix 4 месяца назад
Thanks for the comment. I'll make sure to check that
@timothywaters8249
@timothywaters8249 4 месяца назад
Can confirm. Cold solder joints can crystalize, much like if you move molten solder before it cools. The crystal lattice has voids. Those voids fill with oxygen from the air and oxidizes the metals in the solder from the inside out. After time, the resistance of the solder joint increases as more of the metal is oxidized, eventually becoming brittle and you have an invisible open-circuit.

You can also use 90-99% IPA, let it soak under the adhesive, and then carefully remove it. You can then re-apply it with new adhesive and it would look like the sticker was untampered with.

The issue with all adhesive removers, even IPA, is that is can bite into sticker clearcoats and make them foggy, or soak partially between the clearcoat at the graphics leaving a waterlogged look.

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). Been working on a lot of old xboxes lateley ... You, Steve, and MyMateVince have been really educational and giving me the confidence to try and fix broken consoles and other devices, and been pretty succesful. Thanks!

As some have said, test the button continuity because the clock cap can cause issues there. Also, with a foxlink PSU the four solder joints for the power plug are worth taking a look at. The two outside joints are mount points its the inner two you want to re-flow solder to because they're notorious for bad solder joints.

There are 4 traces on the underside of the motherboard, they run right along the front edge and then up the right side of the board. Those traces often get breaks from leaky capacitors. Those traces i believe are related to the power and eject buttons, so if they are damaged those buttons may not work at all.

A few tips. Check for the fuse in the power supply, check that the front panel connector was plugged in, and as chris tursk mentions, check the front panel traces on the underside near the clock capacitor (segments 6 and 7 along the edge). Those will probably be PE#1 with the clock cap leaking. Strange though, usually I've seen it power on immediately when the console is plugged in in the wake of that damage, try the eject button as well to turn on the console (though that's also victim to the trace rot, along with the front panel LEDs and power trace).

first thing to check is there voltage on the on switch ,if not check all the voltages from the psu ,if there is none (not all lines will be active in the off state)check any fuse on the psu ,if ok look for a high value resistor on psu (there may be two in series)they/it suply a start up voltage to the chopper chip .good luck with the repair

That's why I stopped buying a lot of stuff, prices are too high. I started fixing all kinds of electronic things and vacuums 2010. Not as advanced as you do, you are top-notch.

It's easier using an Exacto Blade to get label corners up once you do you need to go slow and get heat under where you have it peeled up a actual heat gun almost to hot I feel a hair dryer works better. Nice find I hope you can get it going in the next video thanks!

I would check the traces on the back of the board at the edge below or near the clock capacitor. Generally when the capacitor leaks those traces end up getting damaged and need to be repaired. When this happens the front panel may either not function at all or turn it self off or on automatically.

Check the traces on the Clock compasitor. There are 3 traces that can get affected and they are used to power it on. Had a several of them to repair with that issue

Don't know if this is the place for it but I've experienced lots of faulty ElGato Pedals and have seen that it's a fairly common issue with the same narrative, it stops working after 1 day ~ 1 month, apparently frying itself. Would be cool to see a video on those and see if it's a manufacturing defect or bad internals or what's the issue with them. Love the videos!

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!

Un-Du works great at removing adhesives and it dries almost instantly. I use it on everything and always have spare bottles available. Currently, 1 being used, 2 spares bottles and a 32 oz refill bottle. Just make sure to get either the yellow or white caps as the silver cap, California sales specifications, doesn't work.

The power socket pins often come loose on the Power Supply. That led to a Safety Recall, but reflow and adding extra solder to reinforce.

Also I would highly recommend A mod chip. And not for piracy, but for being able to rebuild the hard drive and installing a new hard drive. Then you can reinstall the stock o s and still use the console without the security on the console

Used to love watching these videos, also would get things off goodwill, now ever since this video when I go and look at games everything is wayyyy over priced used to be able to get things at good price, dont understand why you had to go blow it up just for some clout… glad it made you feel good though☺️☺️
