If the Xbox error screen displayed error code 06 in the upper left-hand corner, the hard drive cannot be unlocked. It is locked with a different password than the console is computing to unlock it.
This error occurs if they tried to swap hard drives from a different Xbox into this one. Or, they upgraded the hard drive but somehow messed up the locking process. Selecting the wrong option to lock it. There are a few standard MASTER passwords that may work to unlock and remove the USER level password from the hard drive. However, if the console is softmodded, the hard drive will need to be locked again with the correct password computed with information stored in the configuration EEPROM on the motherboard it will be connected to.
Assuming it is an error 06, will this whole process be skippable if i juat slapped in an aladdin xt (modchip)?

Try a standard composite AV cable that has a Yellow (composite) video output along with Red and White analog stereo audio out RCA jacks.
I don't believe a PAL console supports component video output unless it has been modded and switched to output NTSC video.
However, being in the States working with only NTSC Xboxes, the above statement could be wrong.
Thanks @KaosEngineer for the help, really appreciate it
. Unfortunately I just converted my only AV cable to a component cable, more on the way though. But assuming it turns out that the previous owner is correct and I have an error 06 , what should i do assuming they messed up the bios or whatever during modding ?.
It'll take time to arrive though the cables so I think this thread may end up dead by the time it arrives from China ...

Hello everyone,
A while back I bought a couple of Xbox's 1.0 , 1.3 & a 1.6 . Fixed the first two up and running , now the last one turns on and off 3 times, then flashes red/green without video, previous owner says it had the error 06 but for me It doesn't give a video signal at all. A visual inspection of the board for any bulged capacitors shows no obvious faults, although I am aware that sometimes with an ESR meter (which i dont have) you can tell which is good and which is bad. I'm using a component cable and the V1.6 xbox is a PAL unit and the hard drive inside is definitely not stock 160GB storage and no hard mod is installed. A quick search gives me the idea that its probably the eeprom ( dead or corrupted ) if that is the case and assuming i have no backup as i do not know what the previous owner did to it, what should i do ? if not any ideas what should i check / do to troubleshoot the problem ? . I have a Rpi , arduino and an old eeprom universal flasher ( i will check if it supports the chips ). Oh and i have an Aladdin XT PLUS2 on hand if that would help , but kindly note that I have never used them before but if someone has a guide that would be appreciated as well.
Best Regards

Just an update to whoever stumbles upon this thread with a similar problem of not being able to replace theirs with a compatible PSU, The USA (110) PSU was repaired and successfully converted to 220V (EU) and now the v1.0 xbox is now working !! , here is what happened,
1. Changed Filter caps to 330uF 250V
2. Changed Z1 and Z2 with 10D431K 275VAC Varistors
3. Removed J11 (was under on of the big filter caps).
4. Replaced the slow blow fuse ( it was blown ).
and voila ! , Thanks to SS_Dave for sharing his knowledge and and for being patient with me.

The fuse (Yellow circle) will be blown and it looks like one of the Varistors Z2 (Red circle) is missing and there only job is to hopefully stopping the two main filter caps exploding. When I was testing the PSU's there was 150VDC across the caps each
The Varistors are a 150VAC/200VDC on both the 100 and the 220 volt supply's
Cheers

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.Hi Dave,
Just letting you know that the adapter was repaired and the v1.0 xbox is now working !! , here is what happened,

I removed J11 and reinstalled all the output cable , installed the power supply back to the xbox which was tested working yesterday with an atx PSU and unfortunately it did not work, clearly something is broken in the PSU + on the bottom side there is a missing smd capacitor at the output (c301) & missing MOV Z2 . I think I'll call it a day regarding this PSU for now, probably when i receive the v1.6 PSU and get it working (no ideal).
i am also waiting for another power supply for my V1.3 xbox (220V) to arrive where i plan to install it in place of a 110V PSU, maybe by that time i'll take that 110V PSU and try by removing J11 and give it a go with the V1.0 xbox.

The 5 volt supply on the 1.6 should be fine but in my view it would be better to find a 1.0 - 1.4 supply or repair the original.
I did some testing on jap supply (100 volt) when I was looking at the possibility of converting to 240 volt and I accidently blew it up and it was a fuse and a 170 volt surge protector for the main filter cap that failed.
I also found J11 is not present on a 220 volt version and adding the link allows the supply to work down to 80volt AC and removing the link on the 110v supply allowed the supply to work at 255 volt AC.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.Thank you for sharing the interesting information, and thank you again for your time and concern really appreciate it. So as far as i can tell from your post the input filter caps , MOV's need to be replaced with higher rated voltage in accordance to the 220V mains and the jumper needs to be removed. I'll replace those and let you know how it goes, it would help if you have an idea of the values of those ( filter caps , Surge protector (MOV) ) on a 220V model if possible.
Also As a backup I'm looing at this switch mode DC-DC module to regulate the 5V -> 3.3V with the v1.6 power supply

EDIT:
Thank you Dave for sharing your thoughts and experience. Ah at first I totally missed that in the V1.6 power supply we don't have a +3.3V, so now we need to get it from somewhere ..... wouldnt taking the +3V3 (regulated) from the +5V make it a problem by stressing on hte +5V rail
?
for the V1.0 power supply i suppose those are the amperage of each rail
I'm trying to understand the situation I put myself in.
Also regarding the faulty power supply (110V) what are the components that need to be changed to convert the PSU to a 220V unit ? also i cant find J1 , would you kindly point out where it's located ?

You are better off finding the correct PSU.
https://xboxdevwiki.net/Power_Supply
The 1.0 - 1.4 PSU all have the same outputs and you could either make a adaptor lead or rewire the 12 pin/20 pin connectors to suit the Xbox.
The 1.6 PSU is only suitable for the 1.6 board.
Can you post a pic of the 1.0-1.1 PSU that has failed?
Cheers

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.Hi Dave,
I was not able to find any power supplies 1.0-1.1 or 1.2-1.5 available , I took my chances and ordered the power supply for about $8 . But My reason for asking here is whether I have missed anything other than I will need to step down the standby voltage 5v -> 3.3V . If yes , below in the table Pins 8,9 ,10 & 8 in second row are the standby pins while the +5V is only 1 wire at pin 6 ? .
The faulty power supply turned out to be a blown 110V Power supply (USA) and where I live mains voltage is 220V, so I dismembered it and took it's output cables where I intend to replace the cables with the v1.6 power supply ones.
Please let me know what you think , your help is really appreciated.

A quick followup for the project,
1. Xbox Version 1.0 : Turns out the previous owner got a US (110V) and plugged it in and kaboom so power supply is gone , So yesterday i brought out a pc ATX powersupply and wired up with a small circuit to handle all the powering and voila ! its working. So i ordered a replacement V1.6 as i couldnt find one v1.0 powersupplies anymore , will need to change the output ATX cable (double column -> single column) and add a voltage regulator for standby (5V->3.3V).
2. Xbox Version 1.3: Ordered a compatible power supply DPSN-96DP-1 , will test when it arrives
3. Xbox Version 1.6: Ordered an aladdin XT modchip , in general this one is already working but has the error 06 , this can wait, the other above i'm more interesting in fixing.
I hunted down for European models for my V1.0 , V1.3 (220V) on ebay as they periodically come up . The universal power supply seems to be extinct even on Chinese sites so I've given up .

Hello everyone,
I was able to find a 220V powersupply for my broken v1.1 xbox . Now I am aware of the connector and pinout and standby voltages are different. But assuming I have the connector, a 5->3.3V voltage regulator ( for standby ) would it ok ?.
Note : The model I'm working with is DPSN-96DP-1

I have one like that and the only problem was the interference it made to radio near by.
I also have a PSU that came from china that was made for versions 1.0-1.4 and has a input voltage of 100 - 240 volt and in my view that's how M$ should have made them in the 1st place.
Cheers

By any chance would you be able to share with me where can I buy one of those universal xbox power supplies ? , the website i've linked above seems to be of bad reputation so I think I'll stay away from this one.

Find a Delta DPSN-96BP-1 220VAC input power supply. -1 at the end of the model number indicates that it is a 220VAC input PSU for the Xbox. I'm not sure why all the listings I find there are for U.S. model PSUs.
Foxlink also made an EU 220VAC in PSU for the Xbox. Take a look at the table included in the following thread on reddit.com for the model numbers of EU compatible PSUs for your particular Xbox revision.
Thank you sir for sharing a comprehensive guide really appreciate it. Also while we're at it, what do you think of those after market universal power supplies which have a toggle switch ?

Hello everyone,
I love buying broken electronics and fix them as a hobby, last week i came across 3 xbox consoles ( V1.0 , V1.3 & V1.6 ) . I've never owned an xbox so i'm currently taking my time in learning as much as possible as i go through the repair/restorations, any comments or critiques are very much welcome. Just a FYI below are the status of each model i got,
1. Xbox Version 1.0 : Alot of Clock capacitor leak and very bad corrosion (i'll put a picture of the damage) the xbox was cleaned with contact cleaner and some vinegar as well and used a soft tooth brush, but the are above the clock capacitor is very well much gone and will need to be wired manually , also i can see two resistors non existent (picture incoming later) ; as a result this unit does not even power on at all , my guess is the power or eject button traces going up to the PIC microcontroller are broken i'll check it.
2. Xbox Version 1.3: This one is a USA model (110V) but where i live Mains is 220V so the power supply needs to be replaced with another PAL equivalent ( I'll post pictures later). Clock capcaitor leaked but the damage was not that bad like the V1.0 , all cleaned up . also the 3300uF caps were bulged so i replaced them. ( SIde note : This one is working with a transformer 220V-->110V but obviously I prefer to make it less clunky . I would really appreciate if someone would kindly lead me in the right direction as where can i find 220V power supplies for this model, much appreciated.
3. Xbox Version 1.6: This one had no screws whatsoever , the HDD in it is 80GB i doubt this is stock. The Xbox starts up but gives an error 06 which i believe means the HDD is not married correctly with the xbox so i ordered an aladdin XT to fix this problem ( I think that is the way to go ).
Note : All the above CPU and GPU were repasted with a fresh new thermal paste.
Please let me know if there are missing information, I'll update this post if needed.
