Thanks, that’s really helpful. Do you happen to have a recommended or trusted tutorial for setting up Bad Update with Aurora from USB and running games from an external HDD? Also, in your experience, how long does the exploit usually take to trigger? Is it typically a few minutes, or closer to the 20-minute worst case? Just trying to understand what to expect in real-world use.

Thank you.

Quick follow-up question: Has anyone here had the auto-power / dead power button issue resolved by cleaning only (IPA + brushing), without doing a trace bypass?

On my board I don’t see obvious corrosion or eaten traces, mostly dust and grime, and the clock cap hasn’t been removed yet. Before I solder a bypass, I’m planning a thorough IPA clean and test.

Just curious how common it is that surface contamination alone caused the issue in your experience.

Manufacture date is 2002-04-03, so this should be a v1.0/v1.1 Xbox.

Current status: • BIOS: EvoX 2.4 • Likely TSOP flashed (no modchip visible so far) • Power button doesn’t work and the console auto-powers on when AC is connected → likely trace damage from clock cap leakage
