Hello, I have a xbox 1.4 motherboard. Clock cap of course had leaked however console worked fine. I disassembled the xbox to remove the cap and clean the area. I noted before i started that the diodes and resistors just north of the cap had taken the brunt of the leak. with the transistor in the Q7f4 position having its top leg detached from board. and as I said xbox still worked fine. well while cleaning the cap off that transistor fell off. I don't think I have much hope of re soldering it back at my skill level. So to my question, seeing how the xbox still worked with that transistor seemingly detached ( maybe it was still in contact and I couldn't tell?) I was curious is it part of the clock circuit? does it even need to be there if im not replacing the cap? IM trying to find anyone who knows definitely if it needs to be there or not for normal operation minus the clock. trying to find out before I attempt to power the board back up and harm it further. Thank you for your time. picture is not my board but one of the same 1.4 with the resistor im speaking of highlighted so anyone knows what one im talking about.

Hi have a bad cap leak and trace rot, can fix the boards but don't know what the value of the transistors are. At the moment looking at three boards a 1.0 1.2 and 1.4 , the legs are to corroded to reuse. Thanks

Hi, i have a xbox 1.6 and I am replacing the Transistor but I accidentally took of 2 of the point for the Transistor. I really need help
