Lina_Inverse_ Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I recently bought a few faulty Xboxes yesterday and I want to try sort out this 1.1 which FRAGs. When I press eject it will often not open the disc tray, sometimes it will open quarter or half way or not close when it does open. I've tried 3 disc drives and they all have the same issue indicating a motherboard or possibly daughterboard problem. I have removed the clock capacitor which was only starting to leak. I've cleaned up what little leakage there was. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Try a known working PSU and is there any error message on the screen if you boot with no drives connected, Has it been modded? Post a pic of the whole board and both sides Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Lina_Inverse_ Posted October 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I get no video or sound with the ODD/HDD disconnected, also the same when they're connected. I've checked the rails just now Blue: 3.3V White: 3.27 Brown: 3.28 Orange: 3.3 Red: 5.0V Yellow: 11.63 Within the 10% range but the 12V rail is a little low. Here's the board also.

SS_Dave Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 To me it looks like the board under the GPU has been very hot (yellow box) and it also looks like there is some liquid staining on both sides (red circles). Has the metal cage got rust on it? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

It does have rust/patina all around the shield but nothing indicating any sort of spillage. It's a sticky substance only on the board. I'll give it a thorough clean and run the system again and report back. With the yellow box, it's a copper layer that darker spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Here is 2 random boards It maybe nothing or it could be the GPU is cooked. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Lina_Inverse_ Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Update: I tried the comaconsole repair yet it still has the same issues, unless the BIOS chip is bad which it would need a modchip. I'll give that a go. If that does nothing, it may just be a board for parts. GPU/CPU get warm as they normally would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
