plumbumber Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hi everyone, i have an xbox with a strange issue. i soldered the tsop, one i had to do alternative soldering because the tin went of the 2 points. it boots once when the board doesnt have power for a while, then it freezes when loading hexen. sometimes it doesnt even turn on, it powers on, beeps, powers off, beeps and red and green lights pulse. i didnt even flash it yet. could removing the clock cap cause this issue?

No, but the leaked electrolyte from it can damage the trace that carries the power button signal to the System Management Controller (PIC processor) that actively powers on/off the console. If corroded too much, the damage prevents the console from powering on. Edited September 30, 2018 by KaosEngineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaosEngineer Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Post pics of the soldering. It should be repairable. No need for a new Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbumber Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'm gonna let a friend look at it. its been laying on the side for a while, i'm pretty sure its near impossible to find , let alone fix the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
