its nice to see the community is still active i was a little worried considering these consels are 20+ years old and i almost lost everything software and hardware in a house fire which is why im here software is not a problem thank god for xbins but rather hardware i need to find some rare parts mostly i was a softmod guy i softmodded countless xboxs and always wanted a mod chip i always found them out of stock or in another country and never could find one then one day i was on facebook marketplace and there it was in my neck of the woods it was a version 1.4 with xecuter 3 ce with the face plate lcd screen / switches and usb ports for a steal of a price 200$ so i bought it no questions asked shut up and take my money its the holy grail of xboxs we all know well remember i said i almost lost everything in a house fire the fire happened two years ago and at that time i slimmed down my xboxs and only had two of them one just a softmod the other the xecuter 3 now let me tell you these xboxs were directly under my 55in flat screen tv and the tv melted all down on the xboxs now im here to tell you that Microsoft built a tank when they built these things because softmod survived i mean the case is junk both power and eject buttons were melted together i had to break the case apart and pull the power/eject pcb board out to turn it on  now i have not cleaned the mother board or anything and it functions so i have hope i have not hooked up x3 to see whats up its the holy grail instead i have it pulled apart and trying to clean the mother board and mod chip and try to get it up and going again the switches are really bad one of the switches got so hot  that some of the buttons fell off one switch came apart a spring came out but the switch might still work if you act like there is a spring there it will cycle but they are all melted in some way ie the switches  now about the lcd screen i have it all pulled apart i might be able to salvage it it had some sort of tint on the out side of the glass witch is easy i just have to find out about what % tint it was but on the other side of the glass screen for illumination there is a white semi transparent film for even and soft illumination and now mine is is wavy like a pice of bacon and that will effect the screens back light illumination so if i can figure out the tint % and a good replacement for the backlight diffuser i think its what it is lol and to replace these switches https://imgbox.com/g/Pl9bJWtgsZ
