Hello Everybody, Based in New Zealand Originally purchased a Crystal Limited Edition Xbox back in the mid 2000's i ended up giving it to a mate for his kids to enjoy, many years later i caught the console bug again i currently have 29 different model consoles many boxed but my favorite is the OG Xbox i have 10 in total over time I'm hoping to mod most of them and share the love Cheers Evlbob

First ever question i have a what i believe is a v1.6 motherboard that wont power on the psu has been tested ok i removed the motherboard and noticed the clock capacitor (near the ide port) is bulged i kind of remember somewhere saying if you removed this capacitor the motherboard wont work, could this also be true if its bulging many thanks.
