sweetdarkdestiny Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Got my 1.0 yesterady with the same foult. As soon as you plug the power cord in the box turend on and the dvd drive open and closed. It was the clock cap which has leaked. You can see in the pic which I have atteched how far it has spread on mine. But luckly no damaged traces or parts. After i have cleaned up the mess, the box works perfect. So make sure you clean everything up nicely. Fingers crossed and good luck on yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traces on the bottom of the board will have damage from the leaking clock cap This guide should help Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
