I keep seeing these, but not sure if worth it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/296105680925

Digikey makes good AC Adapters. Ugh, I hate when I ask a serious question and the company gives "only use OUR Adapter"

What are the best replacement parts for the Original Xbox and where would I buy them? Thanks to you I've already gotten a new IDE cable and bands for my DVD Drive https://www.ebay.com/itm/264927666468?hash=item3daeeb6124:g:fDoAAOSwYVZfNwU1 https://www.amazon.com/Optical-Drive-Replacement-Drives-Stuck/dp/B079VQCYSM Monoprice AC Cables are amazing Just in case, I'm looking for the rest of the internal wiring Such as the 4 pin peripheral power cable, is the base a standard ATX? What about the power cord for the DVD Drive? What about new ThumbSticks? I heard they can be found on ebay, but there are dozens of sellers, and some even say those don't fit properly. Where do I buy new capacitors? What about external wiring? Whats the best component cable? Best RCA Composite Cable? Once again Monoprice for AV Cable. (I use both the Chimera HDMI and the RetroTink 5x for my gaming) Just trying to rebuild my X-box, and a couple junkers I have so they can last another 20yrs.

Not what you asked for, but I went out and found a different copy of Stubbs to try out one last time on the 1.4 console, now that it has a new DVD drive installed... Results remain the same.... Still waiting on the v1.6 to be returned after modding... The winter chill is causing havoc on shipping up here in NE.

So, once again. Took the 1.6 Samsung drive out, cleaned it, cleaned the connector and reseated the cabled internally. Just put a new drive belt on (came today) and installed it into my Defective v1.4 console. Still will not play Seven Sorrows, and is now making a loud sound Meanwhile I took the 1.4 Philips drive, put it in the 1.6 system and I was able to play hours of the same game, same disc uninterrupted. A copy of Stubbs will be arriving tomorrow. So this will once and for all determine the system. Also, ran into 2 paculiar things. #1. The Samsung drive doesn't have a cradle around it, and only mounting screw holes for the front? #2. The v1.4 console MAY have a defective 2nd player port. I tried Toe Jam and Earl 3 on the console a while back, and no matter what controller I put into the 2nd player port.. the character would NOT stop jumping. Still doing it, but it doesn't seem to affect any other 2player game I've tried.

Its been decades since I worked with eide so my brain deleted/repressed it. God, now I remember setting drive and mb jumpers.. Anyways, i have the blue end in the console... that might have been an issue. Thanks!

Thank you! I don't trust eBay as much as I've been screwed both selling and buying. Bought a Xenium chip off eBay and apparently it was a fake.... Just feels awkward, while the Chimera fit so nice. Blue end attaches to the console right? On this topic... why is there no Holster/Tray for the DVD Drive? On the V1.4 the drive was screwed into a tray, on the 1.6 there are two plastic holes built into the front.. and I see nothing in the back.

They felt right side up when you plug the blue end in.. but it still felt... tight. Always afraid of eBay.

2 Things #1. Where do I order a new belt? #2. Suggestions for an IDE Cable? I got one off Amazon, and it feels a might.... short? tight? Not sure what to call it but it feels like it's just not fitting correctly. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003IDF0JC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The one I put in the v1.6 to help repair the console, was the Chimeric one, but they are... not in service at the moment. https://www.chimericsystems.com/ Their parts were amazing, I have their HDMI adapter!

Was, took it off when i switched. Thanks! Yea it, it keeps opened and refuses to close. It twitchs on the right side of the tray 3 times and stops. Doesnt read games.

Cleaned out, reseated cord... only wants to open half the time Bezel? Also the tray is built into it unlike the philips

Well as I said before, if was literally packed with thick brown dust when I opened it. It had a hairline. So i could see the drive being the same.

Does it have to be on? So I was poking the right thing! Nothing happening sadly.

Does it have to be on to use the Paper Clip hole? Where is the hole when I pull it out of the console... but yea... thank you!
