I’m right there with you pal. I hope we didn’t just jinx ourselves. Maybe I should consider switching brands if so many others are having issues. -
From this end it looks like your tv settings could be the issue but thats only from seeing the 4:3 480i on your screen

Have you enabled 720 in your video settings?

I’m unable to edit my last post so please include this one with it. What dash are you using? Have you changed your video settings within the soft mod since you swapped to the component cable? It’s been a while since I used a soft mod so I’m wondering if you need to manually change the settings after using Rocky’s updater.

I don’t have any intentions on buying more of these things. I prefer the always working Startech. As stated in a previous post, I found these in storage and simply attempting to get them all working as intended.

I swear I saw a video long ago that showed a video fix with capacitor replacement, but of course I can’t seem to find it again(Still looking). Yesterday I ran across another user that said they added new thermal paste to the cpu and gpu. If you haven’t tried that already, it won’t hurt for longevity purposes.

What region is your Xbox and have you tried different cables on different TVs? Is it modded? If so, soft or hard mod?

Unfortunately, as stated in the comment above, there doesn’t seems to be much rhyme or reason as to why some of them work and some don’t. Aside from the obvious cheap quality. All pics and comments are always welcome. The more readily available info, the better.

Yes I tried multiple variations of resistors for testing purposes, since there were so many different suggestions in various thread here and other sites. Pic #1 was swapped to a 101 with no improvement. Pic #2 is showing slightly larger, 0603 resistors and they are indeed the correct recommended sizes. The last digit indicates how many zeros are to be added so, 1000=100 and 1002=10,000. Thanks for all the replies. After sorting through the box yesterday, I’m now left with only 4 that are DOA. Not too bad. About half of the working ones are extremely slow and I plan on adding the resistors to those for an attempt at a speed increase. I fear messing with the working ones may render them useless, but oh well. Funny how every site seems to have a slightly different “fix” for the same adapters. I’d call that more of a suggestion than a fix.

You should also consider checking your “through hole” capacitors around the board. It seems to be rare, but I’ve definitely seen dying caps cause video issues.
-
Unfortunately, removing R5 shows no improvement. Thats the most difficult one yet also
-
I'm a startech guy also. I found a box of these things in storage and thought it was worth trying to fix them as opposed to sending them to the dump.

I hate to revive this thread, but it’s a good one to keep active. I have 15-20 of the VER-M03C and (2) RXD-629A7-7 adapters that refuse to boot and time out around 55 seconds. I did manage to get a handful of them working after a reflow, but adding the recommended resistors have had no effect on performance. I’ve been through all the threads I can possibly find from the links in this post as well as my own research. Still haven’t found a solution to this issue. Hopefully someone else has stumbled across a possible resolution.

Maybe your HDD is unlocked?

Do you see xboxdash.xbe, Xbox.xtf, and Xbox book .xtf

You can check your C partition within File Explorer

Are you sure the old MsDash is still on the tsop and hasn’t been over written?

Can you post pictures please? -
If you have something to cut plastic or acrylic, you can go to any place that sells it and buy sheets in the thickness you want. Then you can cut them yourself. For that design, I have no idea how you'd go about doing something like that. Also keep in mind that you can buy these in many custom colors and designs. There are reputable sellers on Etsy for sure
-
I can help you. I responded in one of the other threads you posted in. Send me a DM if you're serious and we can work it out there.
-
I can help you out with this for sure. Please send me a DM and we can figure out exactly what's best for your liking.

It’s best to replace all caps that are of concern. I’d go ahead and do the swap on the PSU anyways
-
Exactly which caps did you replace? Looks like you still have bulging caps on the PSU according to the pics above. I have many 1.6 PSUs if you need a replacement.
-
All pictures above are correctly labeled. You need to be 100% sure that each letter (A-C) is connected to the corresponding letter on the other end. This should fix your issue. Where are you located? Maybe it’d be easier to send it to one of us that can fix it for you.
