the compound used is sorta like a rubber, under heat it softens. like ps2 rubber pad, but more advanced and more efficient. same for cpu.

i'm tired of this noisy little fan on a 1.0 xbox. i have tried searching for a different heatsink to buy but, cannot find any. does anyone know where i can find them? -
I have a 1.6 revision board which shut down in the middle of using it. I have tested the PSU which is working correctly (have tried in another system also). I have traced the problem to this MOSFET - Q2F1 not outputting 5V.Can anyone guide me on a replacement? The numbers on it don't give me a good guide on an equivalent/compatible one.

Hey everyone, I'm having a problem with an original xbox that will turn on, with a solid green light for a second, then turn itself off. Then back on with an orange blinking light, then turn itself off and on again until finally staying on with a blinking orange light with it's fan running 100% speed, this would indicate some sort of FRAG and some other issue. Unlike other times in that situation where it's normally a temperature sensor failing where it will shut down, this doesn't turn off. The power button doesn't seem to have any effect after turning on. Holding does nothing. It's a 1.1 revision board. The temperature sensor area is clean with minimal clock cap leakage, and the Xbox is otherwise tidy. It's got an xecuter x2 lite. Disabling via the switch on the front panel to the chip does nothing. Soldering looks tidy. I notice there's no D0 grounding underneath. There is a wire directly from the chip to ground though. Where to from here? Should I put on a D0 and see if that changes anything. Should I then remove the chip and see if we're able to boot if the first step doesn't help?

I'm working on my second original Xbox (version 1.6) motherboard, trying to install a mod chip. Unfortunately, I've run into the same issue as with my first attempt. After completing the installation, the console refuses to power on. I've removed the mod chip, yet the console still won't turn on. Even after disconnecting all wires, there's no response. However, power is reaching the board—the LED on the mod chip lights up when plugged into the header socket. With my first motherboard, I used an LPC board, whereas on this second one, I opted for direct wiring. I'm confident my wiring and soldering are correct. The mod chip I'm using is the Aladdin XT Plus 2. Could the mod chip be causing this issue? It's the only constant between both attempts. But if the chip were the problem, why wouldn’t the console power on even after its removal? I'd really like to understand what's going on. At this point, I'm considering buying a pre-modded 1.6 motherboard with a chip installed. If anyone knows where I can find one, that would be much appreciated.

Hey OGXbox community! I recently fired up my old original Xbox and I’m thinking about upgrading the hard drive so I can load games, emulators, and maybe explore more homebrew options. I’ve come across a few tutorials online, but a lot of the info seems outdated or inconsistent. Before I start, I wanted to ask here what’s the most reliable method these days for swapping the HDD? I’m looking at using a SATA drive with an IDE adapter, but I’d love to hear what’s working best for folks right now. Also, will a softmod be enough, or is a modchip still the way to go? Side note: I’ve been going through some Alteryx Training for work lately and it really got me into that “tinkering and optimizing” mindset — figured now's the perfect time to revisit the Xbox modding scene! Would really appreciate any advice, tips, or trusted guides you guys recommend. Glad to be here with fellow OG Xbox fans! Thanks, joloh -

I wasted a good portion of the last 3 or 4 years, lots of time and money on this idea. I've created then thrown away at least 6 full prototype xbox case prints that I was not happy with, redesigned several times etc. Here is a link to all versions from start to finish. It's not perfected still, but I am happy enough with mine that I'm not willing to pursue this anymore. I've shared them on cults3d and thingiverse but it's hard to put all the data there. To be clear, anyone can do anything they want with any files I've shared.. print and sell, edit, etc etc. Includes x3cp stl, xtender stl, stock face stl, power button stl, and prototype stl or obj files. I even tried to make a theme based on prototype. It should all be found here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jPioe3_N8f_HiEhmXxccLfFvJ9h86N6K

It does for real..... So I put xbox360 slim inside a og xbox. I rewired the front panel work with original buttons and added one extra button for the sync button. Hardest part was to make the dvd drive to fit perfectly. I had to make some crude legs for it. I added larger fan, but then I was like that's not special enough. This sucker will be watercooled. That's more like it. Just need a little bit slimmer fan and install it under the radiator and cut holes to the top cover. It's a perfect fit. On the bottom window you can see the final resting place for the hard drive. Peace XD

recently purchased a broken 1.1v xbox from ebay. it had never been opened before and the problem was just that the foxcon psu had it's common failure where solder joints break. however, the person that owned the xbox apparently tried hard to pry the disc tray open to get their game out. since no game was left in the tray, they appear to have been successful. when this dvd player is connected to the xbox, i get an error 7. when i connect another dvd player to it, the xbox works fine. so my question is, based on what happened, what could they have messed up inside the the dvd player that the xbox cannot even see it? it is a samsung drive so it probably worth trying to fix.

I recently modded twelve consoles for a gaming bar. All of them are using Xenium chips, Cerbios, and have XBMC4Gamers dashboards. The owner of the bar was complaining that the consoles will shut off after a few hours of being idle. Basically he's got them on any given game screen just idle non-stop until somebody plays them. They're not overheating since they have new paste and nexus silent fans with the fans set at 75% at all times. I was curious is there a setting to shut down the console after it's idle for a certain amount of time or something I can go and change for him? -
Hello. I wanted to upgrade RAM on my Xbox. First I TSOPed Cromwell inside and it booted. Then I soldered 4 RAM chips from China and Xbox started reboots and showed errors: Green, Green, Green50%-Red50%. After which I desoldered new RAM, but FRAG was still there. I guessed something was wrong with TSOP chip. When I got this Xbox it had some noname modchip from 2003 which I can't even guess clone what of. Anyway, error code switched to: Green, Green, Orange50%-Red50%. Which is RAM error, I guess. Now I think I should have tested it with each new RAM chip soldered. I only left original 4 RAM chips inside right now, but it still FRAGs. What can I do to repair it?

Just repaired a 1.6b that had a blown RAM bank 2. This is my first ever 1.6b I've worked on. Usually with FRAO systems there's a good reason for a RAM to die and it's usually a thick layer of once damp dust messing with things. But this time the motherboard was fairly clean. Since this is my first 1.6b I don't have a record of common faults like I do with the others. Do Hynix RAM chips commonly go bad?

I have a strange issue in my set up. I have my OG Xbox (OpenXenium, PrometheOS, Cerbios, Xbmc4Gamers) connected to a RetroTINK 4k using a component cable. I made this component myself from a Xbox 360 component cable and OG Xbox AV connector (actually I made two of them). When I turn on the RetroTINK 4K and turn on the OG Xbox the audio volume is very low. But no distortion is persent, not in the video nor in the audio. When I reseat the AV connector on the Xbox side the volume is on a normal level. When I connect the Xbox using the same cable directly to a TV, the volume is always on a normal level. I have the same issue with two component cables. Today I finished recapping my Xbox, with no luck. Anyone knows how to fix this?

On one of my Xboxes I have performed a recap (had some experience doing a NES and N64). I did the PSU first, with succes. Then the main PCB, but now the Xbox doesn't turn on. No LEDs, no video output. Only a slight crackling sound (almost not audible), but It's hard to pin point where te sound is coming from. Already tried reflowing the caps, but without any luck. Unfortunately I already threw away de caps, so can't change them back. All caps have the right orientation, clock cap has been removed and changed to a resistor.

What's the best replacement fan to make the Xbox run quieter?

Yesterday I installed the OpenXenium modchip from one Xbox to another (both 1.6 revs). I had to disconnect the LPC rebuild PCB, which was kind of a nightmare, but it worked. After installing it, the Xbox booted with modchip connected. But didnt't start without it. Which I thought was weird. So I tried reflowing a couple of the connection with no luck, instead the Xbox wouldn't boot with or without the modchip connected. I decided to remove the LPC rebuild PCB and restore the LPC by handwiring it. Now the Xbox does boot without the modchip connected to the LPC port, but with the modchip installed it doesn't. The green power LED turns on for approx 1 second. And on the OpenXenium a RED led. I have already ordered a new LPC rebuild PCB. Hope anyone over here knows how to solve this. I already meassured al of the pins on the LPC port with a multimeter and all expected voltages are present. I have bridges the two pads on the OpenXenium which are neccesary for a 1.6 rev.

So, I have had my Xbox basically my entire life. So, It's had a bit of a run. It's currently completely unmodified. Lately, though, I have been having a few problems with it. 1) Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue played perfectly fine, and loaded quite fast, but it had issues with FMVs. 2) Robots did not load at all. I thought the disk had decayed, but now I am not so sure. 3) Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom ran Okay, but dialogue audio would start a second or so later than it should. 4) A known working copy of Halo 2 that I had played a few months ago can no longer be read. THis is what tipped me off to the possibility that it could be the optical drive. Are these symptoms of a dying disk reader? If so, what should I replace it with? Is it finally time to hard mod my beloved xbox to give it a longer life? Side note: Is it normal for the picture to be weirdly dark when adapted from the video output to HDMI? I have heard of old consoles like this having capacitor issues with the display out after some time; could that happen to the Xbox?
