Forlorn Penguin Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 First thing's first. Check which revision it. If it's not a 1.6, remove the clock capacitor right now before it destroys the motherboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasomeasd Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I think you will enjoy the xbox. It is a fun unit to mod. So much you can do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasheeboy Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 yes it is very capable unit, I recently fired up all 3 I own after years of no use, all 3 units have mod chips and 2 with larger hard drives and unleashx dashboard and they still work, all my back up games work perfectly, clock capacitor is next on the list!

psnap777 Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Welcome. This forum is awesome! So many knowledgeable people sharing information and I have learned a lot from them. Follow Forlorn Penquin’s advice as it is very important. I’d also recommend cleaning the case fan, the gpu fan (if you have a v1.0) and replacing the thermal paste on the gpu and cpu. The thermal paste Microsoft used is low quality and quite old at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
