Capacitor Replacement Advice

Recommended Posts

I've removed the clock capacitor and I'm considering replacing the remaining capacitors in both my 1.0 and 1.4 model Xbox consoles. I can't see any obvious bulging issues but from what I've read after having the consoles in storage for 10+ years it's a matter of when rather than if they will fail.

Most capacitor kits I see for the Xbox only include a handful of capacitors rather than a complete set. Example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Xbox-V1-2-1-5-Capacitor-Kit-3pcs-3300uF-6-3V-SANYO-WG-Super-Low-ESR/233613510241?hash=item3664734661:g:axcAAOSwHjxe3Z4~

  • Are there only specific capacitors that I should worry about replacing?
  • Or should I aim to replace all capacitors on the board - even including the PSU?
  • Or should I wait for issues to arise and just replace them when they need it.

Thanks in advance for your wisdom :)

The cap's that seller has are the ones that will fail at some stage, I have a preference to the nichicon or the Panasonic brand but each to their own.

Here is a link to a supplier that's not evilbay.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
