zaiem Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I have removed clockcapacitor the but I was unfortunate to find same exact specs. My understanding the clockcapacitor is 2.5v 1F is this correct? online order is not an option for me as of now...I am tring with local store, or to scrap from old motherboard a capacitor that would suffice so what would be the (range) of capacitor voltage/Farad ..... i.e would a capacitor with 6.3v /1000uF work as a replacement.

SS_Dave Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just leave it out as it is for short term dat and time retention any way The Xbox will run fine without it Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Gray1 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 That is an interesting question.. The original capacitor was filled with Aerogel. I think it was actually called a supercapacitor. SS_Dave is right you can just leave it off. It acted like a small battery that would hold the setting if unplugged or power outage. But it would only hold the setting for about 45 minutes then you had to reset the XBOX anyway. I don't know if a regular capacitor would hold the setting that long. I used this one https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=493-3291-ND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
