I found this on reddit, but it did not looking it was ever resolved.Changed the 3 caps under the CPU and now sound but no picture! Any ideas?
I am having the same issue where I had to replace 5 blown caps, but afterwards I am getting no video. I can hear the boot animation, but I get no video.I have reflowed many times. Not sure where exactly to start checking. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you certain you got the polarity correct on them? I concur with providing pictures of both sides of the board.

It turns out it does work. Just takes a while to load the first time.
This is a TSOP v1.0. Is it possible to have two dashboards, with an option to pick which on boot?
I’m using iND-5003.67 patched bios
There is currently nothing out there that provides that option.

I was given two broken original Xbox consoles to try and fix. After fixing the issues with one of them, I tried to test it. As I didn't have a controller for it I bought an adapter like the one in the picture (Adapter) to try and use either a USB arcade stick or one of my wired controllers for PC, Xbox 360, or Xbox One. I eventually bought a controller for it as I could not get anything to work with this adapter. So I am wondering, does this adapter serve any purpose? Has anybody gotten an arcade stick kit like the one in the second picture to work on the original Xbox?
USB physical connections don't mean much. Just because it fits doesn't mean it is going to work. There needs to be a driver that tells the Xbox how to use the device plugged into it. In the case of the Xbox, that will not exist. It's not like your pc where people submit their drivers to Windows Update and it just automatically pulls them down when you plug a new device in. That seems to happen so automatically and seamlessly that people have no idea that it is occurring. That's why people think if you just plug something into USB that it's automatically going to work when the physical connection means basically nothing.

You could probably get the job done with that but 18.00 for all of that means it's got to be pretty low quality.
Obviously you will get diminishing returns but jobs are always easier and have a higher chance of success when you have good tools.
Just using really nice silver bearing solder will improve your work tremendously. The small things add up to make a big difference. -

A new member here, just reading the issue with the downloads. Could you put this info in the same place that the download folder? I believe it would be faster for the new users find the suscription option.
Blesings.That would be nice. Unfortunately the forum software has no such way to set that. If I modify the skin to put it there, it gets wiped out each time the forum/skin need updates which is every couple of weeks.

You are definitely not wrong there, really just the original xbox as whole I tend to worry about. So many great memories.
nothing can be 100% protected from a careless owner. The good news is, the mistake will only cost you around $30.00 to replace and start over.

Your dvd drive is failing. It's not reading the game partition and only reading it as though it's a dvd movie.

Not going to look through all of those links. If it can be used as a wireless bridge then yes. If it can't, no.

You almost certainly have too many workers. This is how many times it connects to the server. It will kick you if you have too many. Turn it down to 1 or 2 and you'll be fine.

Yeah, but I'd like it to be done from the xbox itself. I'm less concerned with finding the best drive to use (SSD's are obviously the best), and more with evaluating performance degradation over time without having to pull the drive out and test it on a workbench.
I don't believe such a tool exists. I'm nearly certain of it. It would need to be written.

I was wondering if that might be the case. I’ll keep looking. I’d still like to know the value of that cap to replace it.
You can't measure the value while it's in circuit. With SMD caps it's a bit difficult. You need to lift a side of it off of the pad in order to measure it.
The best way of going about this is to just get a bead of solder on your tip and heat one side of the cap and gently lift with some tweezers. That side will be molten and as soon as the other side gets soft it will lift a bit. Remove heat and keep holding the tweezers in place for a second or two. Assuming the side you lifted is now disconnected, you can remove the tweezers and measure the value. This is useful since the other memory sockets have the same caps.

This is an interesting find. I guess its definitely possible, the only reason why im hesitant is that I cant think of much of a reason why someone would do this/ go to this effort. Im not to doubting you by any means, but this seems like a lot of work for someone to effectively transfer the MCPX from one board to another (Assuming it was properly done and nothing went wrong) and then to have a small problem like that creep up.
I guess then my next question is, what's different between a development PIC and a retail PIC? From what I remember, i dont think the Flash of the PIC has been dumped yet. I would think the PIC wouldn't make sense to have a Dev version and a retail unless thats where the flash write enable is all handled as the PIC was used for basic system management as far as I know.
Getting my hands on something like that may be difficult as I received the board and only the board from an Ebay auction. Someone else then must've done the chip transplants and would then have the corresponding PIC from the dev/debug board that the MCPX was salvaged from.
I'm thinking this was a partner net console or whatever the beta of Xbox Live was called for devs. (if the eeprom contains an online key that might confirm that?) After that service was taken down someone probably attempted to mod it to retail and failed miserably.

Replace those capacitors and it will most likely come back to life. I'd clean it up with some IPA too.

That's an interesting response. Of course they would allow some headroom for variances. That goes without saying. ( We are talking intel silicon )
However the gains are unlikely to be much unless you hit the 'silicon lottery' and had that perfect chip etc. I wouldnt expect much more than a few percent at best?
I was just trying to get a feel for what that might be and is it worth the effort..
There are threads on here of people getting 100mhz or more BUT, when people overclock you never know their situation and how long they actually ran it. Also there is really not any benchmarking we can run to make sure it is stable. So it is REALLY difficult to say how far you could push your silicon. If 1mhz down from a crash gets a successful boot, it sound as though we both understand that is still not stable in all likelihood. So I think it might be a bit higher than you're guessing but not as high as reported previously.

I assume you don't get a huge gain from this as Id imagine MS designers pushed the most out of the limited resource they had.?
it varies for everyone but your assumption wouldn't be correct. Why would they sell something maxed out? Maxed out = unstable. The varying environments the Xbox would be placed in would not always provide adequate cooling. The variance in chip capability would make a large amount of chips unstable even in perfect environments. They always build in some headroom.

but I read somewhere that it depends on the isp restrictions. like one of my friend tried to open ports but couldn't and he was told by the isp that he needs to purchase dedicated ip from his isp then he can open ports.
I think you may be conflating different things.
The reason you'd need a static IP is if you're hosting a website at your house. Then you'd need your IP address to never change so your DNS records will always point to the correct place. Then you'd forward ports to allow the traffic to come inside your home network and go to the web server.
If you're just gaming with a console, you don't need a static IP.
The ISP can block ports at their end, but chances are they aren't doing that and getting a static IP won't lift that restriction. -

Port forwarding allows traffic destined for your public ip on a certain port to get allowed through the firewall and directed to a particular host on your local network.

Yeah it was from the seattle area, just on ebay
If you think of selling it let me know.

Thank you so much for the reply @OGXbox Admin,
Would install be as usual per the instructions or is there a rule of thumb I should follow before I proceed with the installation? Is there any difference by having the TSOP in-place?
There is no difference. The instructions will be exactly the same as any other x3 with x3cp installation.
Grounding d0 causes the xbox to ignore the tsop and boot from lpc. So it doesn't matter if the TSOP is flashed or not. -
There is no need to remove the TSOP. Leave it alone and install the X3.

Hello,
I'm certain I saw an OGXbox Discord server, but I couldn't find any link with Google or the forums internal search either.
Can I have an invite please ?

First of all do not talk down to me like your king shit and i don't know what I'm doing ok. I've been dealing with modded XBOXs probably since before you were born I'm talking about the days of FLASHFXP. So If I say something doesn't work, or something is wrong, then it doesn't work, and it's wrong.
Regardless of what you might think or what you've been lead to believe, when an xbox is modded, then everything can be done via a disk or FTP which means you can burn anything to a disk from your PC and then transfer it to the XBOX HDD and go from there.
I do, and have always done every mod I ever do on the xbox soft modded and chipped) all from just from the DVD drive and a file explorer because that's needed to copy any contents from any disk to the HDD. This specific softmod combined with upgrading the HDD, kills the DVD drive on the xbox rendering it unusable so even dvd2xbox doesn't work. As it stands now the DVD drive on this XBOX I'm using worked 100% fine until I soft modded it with this crap.
Just want to point out that XBMC4gamers is garbage for anything disk related. The disk drive itself works just fine, I have modded the specific xbox more than once and the DVD drive works just fine in every one of them except this soft mod, there isn't a single thing in the entire softmod which works when the DVD drive is required.
Because you're more in tuned with defending garbage than actually stepping back and seeing the issue let me sum it up for you, the topic creator is trolling people by saying these can be manually installed when that is totally untrue and FYI manual install means to ftp the files I mentioned above, put them on your xbox via a disk/ftp then run them from it.
Lol... You're an idiot... and you're banned.

I'm not going to sit through that tutorial, but did you use a sata hdd or ide?
If you used sata, what adapter did you use? What are your jumpers set to?

If these dashboards are trying to reach out to sites that don't exist anymore for things like RSS feeds, backgrounds, music... they will take FOREVER to load.
The first load up of unleashx extracts a zip file contained within the xbe that has the default skin in it and caches several items. So that can cause slowdown.
XBMC has been the most well maintained and as such is generally the fastest for me.
