Malanow Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone! I come to you with the following problem. I have an XBOX 1.1 in which no controller port works. The console is unmodified and has not been opened before. I took it apart to replace the clock capacitor. Before the replacement, the ports did not work either. There is a picture and sound. XBOX asks to set the time but it is impossible. I have two controllers. One original and one non-original. The non-original one I tested on a PC and it worked there, the other one I haven't tested yet. The other controllers I do not have. I checked the motherboard looking for broken paths, but I did not find such, however, I will check again. There is corrosion around the clock capacitor. Especially at the components R7G1, R7G2, R7G3 and Q7G1. It seems to me that the corrosion is only superficial, but I would prefer to replace these components. I found information that R7G2 has a value of 1.1 kOhm (SMD code 112) unfortunately I could not find anything about R7G1 and R7G3. Q7G1 is npn transistor - MMBT3904LT1. The question is whether these components are related to non-functioning controllers //edit I forgot to write, there is a voltage of 4.95V on the power pins, in the controller ports Edited April 6, 2023 by Malanow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 I have seen trace damage from a leaking clock capacitor damage the traces for the game ports. Can you post a picture on the bottom of the board. If you upload a high quality pic to a share site then add a link here.

Malanow Posted April 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the answer. I took pictures of the supercapacitor area. The pictures of the whole PCB came out too blurry. I will try to take better ones The C7G5 capacitor is missing, because I was taking photos at the time of its replacement, it looked suspicious Edited April 16, 2023 by Malanow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Capacitor C7G6 (22UF 25volt) is missing. Was it removed by mistake?

FerociousOG Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Did you resolve the issue? I have a similar issue with my 1.0 mobo but the 1st controller port is not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is whether these components are related to non-functioning controllers the parts you have listed are only for the clock cap and not the controllers Do you have another Xbox to test the original controller? If you have the DVD kit you can use that to set the clock or at least skip the clock setting and then the non original controller should work.

Have a good look at the section in red as I have seen trace damage here from a leaking clock capacitor and they are the port 1/2 traces Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
