Hi guys, first post, so take it easy on me lol

 

Recently Got an OG Xbox, and as I'd had launch day Xbox blow up, I knew about the clock capacitor, (my old xecutor modded Xbox went with a pop adout 15 years ago ) 

 

Anyway, I'm rambling... 

 

I opened up this one to check/remove the cap, and it had already leaked, the Xbox was working before opened it, but the clock would not hold time..

 

the board looks pretty bad so I'm wondering if it's worth spending the time getting the new cap and fitting it.. I should also mention, that despite having a soldering iron, I'm a 100% noob... I'm sure I can replace the cap, but honestly, that's about the extent of my ability lol..

 

attached is a photo of the board, also, would an Xbox boot without the clock cap ? If so, I'll re assemble it and test it before I order the replacement cap..

 

treated the area with contact cleaner & a little wd40
