I am trying to set up a few testing/ prototype consoles and I need functioning DVD drives to test my hardware with. All my functioning drives are in consoles that they can't be sourced from. If anybody has 2 or 3 they can let go of it would be very helpful.

I have a v1.0 board that is TSOP flashed with Cerbios 2.4.1. My UDMA is set to 5 in the cerbios.ini file and I am using a Startech, an 80 wire, and a Seagate Baracuda HDD 2TB from this year. I run this in a cool below room temp room. I have 60mm noctua fan mod running on 100 percent. The temps are around 55C. I have sent this console in to a professional and reputable repair service. I had a full recap done and a PSU swap with a recap also done on the PSU and various testing. I’ve sent this console in two times. But it always seems that when I get this thing back it will run awesome for about 2 days with a couple of hours played. And then eventually I will be playing a game and then I will hit the dashboard shortcut and it will fail to load the dash. And and that point I know its cooked. And lo an behold when that happens it frags when I power it off and on from that point. And if I leave it off for a bit and try again, boom no frag and it boots up and plays well until the next time it “overloads” enough to frag again. Every time I send it in they cannot replicate this frag I am having probably because it takes quite a few hours of play time to get it to frag. They ran microsoft’s internal memory test and there are no issues with the memory modules. The only thing that they mentioned was the HDD was getting pretty hot possibly due to my fans being set at the default speed which isn’t enough with a 60mm fan. Since then have set my fans to the max. The disc drive is good. The caps are good. The PSU is good. The memory is good. The temps are good (at least the the numbers shown in XMBC4gamers dash). What does this leave me with? There is something having to do with using it for an extended period. EDIT: oh and forgot to mention I also have force 480p enabled in the cerbios.ini and 480p mode enabled on the main MSDash(my main dash is UIX lite) and I use an electron shepard xbox2hdmi adpater hooked up to an LG CX in case it matters

I have been toying with the idea of creating a user guide for XBMC4Gamers now for a little while, however when looking for something today I found this.... A very well written user guide that has 72 pages!!!! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y0WR_WwZOU9m3SWLZ50p4xN5E0fDxmdM/view However, It's a little out of date (looks like its based on a build from 2020). It's made by a user from here called @Cian Cunningham, who visited the site since 2021. Does anyone here know how to contact him outside of the site? I would love to see if he still any of the source files that were used to create the guide as I would really like to update it. I have emailed him on the email address he used to sign up to the site but I have no idea if that email is even active anymore. (I didn't get a bounce back so maybe it is) Hence my question... UPDATE - I have had a reply from Cian and he has given me access to all the files for updating the guide. Yay!! Thanks @Cian Cunningham Next time I have a couple of free hours I will take a look through and see about updating the guide 60262163_XBMC4GamersUserGuideV1.1Master(1).pdf

Hello there, I have an old OGXbox rev 1.0 with a homemade modchip with an executer bios (don't know which version as of yet) and the EvolutionX dashboard on a 120GB PATA HDD. I'm gonna put in a new SSD instead, and reinstall everything and possibly flash another custom bios. My question is, which installation disc is most recommended to use? I have HeXen 2018, TruHeXen 2021/2024, OGXbox 1.5.4, 1.9.3, 2.3.2, SlaYers 3.5 etc... And which custom bios is recommended to use? Best regards

Redherring32 (of OpenTendo fame) has been putting in some research into bypassing the need for a clock capacitor on the 1.6 revision Xbox; unlike the prior models a 1.6 will not boot without it. By removing R7P3 and R7P6 current limiting resistors which go to the positive leg of the clock cap and then connecting 3v3 standby voltage to that same leg, you can remove it entirely and still have a functioning system.

Hello, I’m trying to repair an Xbox Ver 1.1 for a friend. It has a Xenium 0449 05 M2 MT mod installed with a 160 GB HDD. I’m getting a 05 error on boot up. So, I’m assuming its booting with xbox original bios and 05 error has to do with the unlocked 160GB HDD. My question is, what options do I have here. I don’t know if Mod is bad or the HDD has an error. The mod has a red led always on and I don’t know if this is normal. If mod is ok, what options do I have to repair HDD to work with existing Xenium mod.I have checked the D0 wire and it is ok. Thanks

I am putting an original Xbox motherboard into a PC chassis and I want to use a proper ATX PSU with it. I don't have the time to get PCBs made and assemble the board so the first person that can ship me one to WA via Priority Mail can name their price for it (within reason). I'm also willing to buy more than one.

I have 2 XBOXes v1.2 and v1.6 with Rocky5 softmod v1.1.6. I was messing around with the NKPatcher and nulled the HDD drive key on one of them before backing up the EEPROM and now it boots up to error 05. It seems I need to format it using the hotswap method, xboxhdm v1.9 and a backup of the Dashboard from the C partition, which I don't have. Can I use the files from the other XBOX? EDIT: I'm probably looking at it fro the wrong angle... when using the hotswap, won't I get access to the backed up EEPROM in the E partition? Can it be used to restore the HDD?Or is it better to just format it and start from scratch? This subject is still pretty new to me.

Totally green here so be gentle. I've spent a couple nights reading your posts and I'm just more lost haha. I've pulled out my OG Xbox v1.6 after about 16 years storage. It has a mod chip and a 160Gb drive. However I've got the red green flash on the eject button. If I smack it hard enough while powering on I can get to the dashboard, sometimes. Maybe a loose connection, maybe a failing mod chip, I'd love to hear opinions. Also wondering if I should even try fixing it or is there something else I should head straight for, maybe a different mod chip, bios, etc. Reading through the posts it's clear I don't even know where to start, what do I have, what I should do next. Any suggestions or help pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated. I have a 9 year old little boy who is dieing to play dad's old Xbox Cheers

I received a broken 2001 1.0 Xbox for free. I removed the clock capacitor, rerouted some trace rot. After that, it seemed to be working great besides terrible disc reading (even after a pot tweak). I ignored the often suggested thermal paste replacement thinking "don't fix what ain't broke" and bought a new laser, after all, I got the thing for free. It's working great as far as I can tell. BUT the lingering thought of thermal paste wormed it's way into my brain, after all, most people seem to suggest it (sometimes to do it just cuz). The combination of so many people suggesting it, and some of the counter-arguments to it on this forum made me pretty anxious about the whole ordeal. Especially after investing money into this. SO when does one know when, or if they should change the paste? I basically have the oldest OG Xbox possible, and it seems to work fine. I noticed the fan area in the back can get warmish when reading discs - but I've never had an xbox, and this could be normal. I haven't modded it, so I don't know its temps. Should I be worried? or bothered? Should I mod the console just to see the temps, just to be sure? Is the Xbox good enough at knowing when it has overheated to reliably leave it alone until theres a tangible issue? TLDR; I'm overly paranoid about my newly acquired 1.0 xbox, and don't know how necessary it is, or when I should replace the thermal paste. Thanks for any replies! It's much appreciated.

Hi, I recently bought four xbox one controllers not tested for repair them, I had very good surprises in the lot, only one needs micro soldering to be repaired, except that the problem comes that controllers are not 100% official (both brands appear have permissions from Microsoft to manufacture and sell controllers), the controller in question is a PowerA and I have to change the micro USB port except that I can't find a replacement micro USB port on the net and no one seems to have documented this subject, I wanted to know if one of you had already changed a micro USB port of a PowerA controller and if he still had the reference of the port used for the repair, thanks. Have a good day

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your help. As you can see from the pic here: https://imgur.com/a/Vvnf6uX I removed today the clock cap and I found some corrosion. I cleaned very carefully (probably more clean will need) with a soft brush and isopropil alcool. I have noticed that corrosion affect some SMD component that now are gone, so I navigate the web looking for pictures to find the missing component so I can but and resolder them. Please help me with the values of the following components from bottom to top: R7G2 = 3K ohm R7G1 = 1.1 K ohm Q7G2= 1AM R7G3 = 285 Ohm CR7G1= A11 R7F9 = 2K ohm R7F8 = 256 Ohm R6F7 = can't find any value on the net Can you help me with those values? Also, any tip to double check? thanks

So I got my Xbox back after 20 years and it no longer boots into the dash. Its like its stock but the boot screen still says xecuter2 instead of Microsoft so I have hope that is still working. Could it be booting to the stock menu cause the chip is disabled? I'll attach a pic of my mod chip.

https://imgur.com/a/dtmjN9V U-ATA CRC Error 200 concerns me the most,can someone explain these numbers to me? i am pretty green in this ;d 20% of games have issues like freeze at loading screen, for example i have to restart xbox while playing Farcry Instincts because it freezes during loading next level, i have to load next level from downloaded save file,beside that games runs fine,no crashes during gameplay. But games like Halif Life 2 or Morrowind never had issues with loading maps/levels which is interesting.

So I installed a openxenium chip today and it turned on brought me to the os and I accidentally hit the power button and now it doesn't boot just flashes green 3 times and goes green/red. Even tried resoldering joints I'm stumped it was working and now it isnt... in the span of 10 min. Even tried a new hdd same issue. I also tried removing the chip and got error 07 it should be noted the chip was still wired in when I did that but not plugged into the pinhead (this is only when I was testing if it would run after it started fragging)

I was toying with a softmodded xbox for the past 2 weeks or so. Started with UnleashX, to XBMC, then to XBMC4Gamers exploring the features of each. Is there a dashboard with the features of XBMC4Gamers that retains the media function? I want to be able to FTP movies to the xbox and view them the same way XBMC4Gamers displays your xbox games.

I'm a bit in the need for cheapness. I was wondering if anybody had a very cheap ass modchip they could flash with the newest version of Cerbios. It'll get me by until I can get an openXenium and a 2tb sata. Anybody got one?

I'm trying to fix the mobo on my other Halo console instead of replacing the board. The power button does not work or green lights. Only red lights and eject works. I've removed the clock capacitor and cleaned the whole area on top and underneath with alcohol. But only one trace looks bad, so I can't account for all the failure... Can I run this thing without a clock cap? Lol seems to be booting without it.

Hi. I have an XCM Ruby Red Xbox that is very faulty; I'm looking to swap it to a non modded Xbox with LED IF POSSIBLE. I would like to send it to you to have this done (I live in NJ, USA). My discord is Luke007#3295 to discuss further.
