SS_Dave Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Best to replace with new parts but if desperate to get it going you could use parts from a spare PCB. SS Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abazz009 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 yeah i'd go new, iv bought components from all over the place, amazon,ebay ect.. if you were going to replace from another board i would at least use one from a V1.6 if you have a broken one... I'm sure you know but you don't actually need the clock cap in a V1-1.5 it only keeps time.. I almost like that my xbox says its 2003 lol...

jumanji3031 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Got this xbox almost for free, but the screen flickers really bad(horizontal-ish), it does work but it was hard to see anything on screen. Checked the inside and there are 3 caps near the cpu that started to give up(top part of caps is not flat anymore). Had a spare part pcb(1.6) and took caps from that and placed in this one. It Worked! The xbox is back and up and running - no more screen flicker!. Pcb is a 1.4, and clock cap's gone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
