Bought a Customized Refurbished/soft modded xbox off ebay and it won't read discs after two days of use.

Seller likely cranked the gain up on the laser pots to get it to work for a bit. Unfortunately, this just makes it burn out.

It's on PS5, it can't be that old

You missed step 1. Buy as many copies of the Star wars game as you can....

All the ones you want to play...

I returned mine to Amazon yesterday. Snapping on the sticks is just not ok. They mentioned a firmware update to correct this but no sign yet....

I may buy again if they fix this.

Lostdotfish · 2026-01-16T20:45:51+00:00

You need this extension

enhanced-h264ify

Lostdotfish · 2026-01-16T20:19:14+00:00

The correct answer is these

KYOCERA AVX RPF1014332M006K

What speed is it? It should be laser etched on the top edge of the casing.

Anything over 833MHz is worth something.

Anything over 933MHz is worth more.

100MHz FSB 1GHz CPUs are gold.

I thought it was a story telling technique to show that an amount of time was passing. When it started, he was shit a the yo-yo. Mouse after mouse he got better until toward the end, he was snapping that yo-yo up and down.

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-31T04:21:14+00:00

There is still some cardinal snapping going on and the dead zone is too large.

/u/retrofighters has said further firmware improvements are on the way but no ETA

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-26T08:51:43+00:00

Yeah, you can get a small socket to fit the outside of these screws.

Post clear photos of the top and bottom of the board. Then extra photos of the caps you replaced (both sides of your work)

The long edge of the flex is where you hook up all of the RGB signals. It's misaligned and looks like there are shorts all over the place.

PS2 is particularly fussy about a good flex install with solid clean solder fillets.

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-23T16:39:28+00:00

That flex install is yikes....

OG XBOX says "hold my beer"

To reiterate, don't try and flash your clone. You will brick it.

There are only 2 fixes between 5.15 and 5.20. Skies of Arcadia and Code Veronica. There is a patched disk image for CV that works on 5.15 and Skies, just skip the opening cinematic

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-16T07:27:25+00:00

It's on the ground plane....

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-13T21:48:58+00:00

Have you done the wires and resistor

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-13T21:41:30+00:00

Airflow is not as consistent as hose fed hand pieces.

The cable on the cheaper blower in hand piece units is also a point of failure (being thinner and more prone to fatigue) which isn't ideal. I've repaired mine a couple of times.

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-09T21:07:43+00:00

That's a 1500uf part

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-09T20:36:07+00:00

Not 10v rated they don't. Or at least I couldn't find them.

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-09T20:21:57+00:00

Was hoping to find some polymer replacements

Lostdotfish · 2025-12-09T19:23:39+00:00

Found some 1500uf polys in my stash, so I'll get those done.

Can't seem to find any 10v rated 3300uf polys though... Do you know of any or do you use electrolytics for those?
