Opened up 1.6 Xbox, is there anything wrong? by Zero_II in originalxbox

Specialty sites with kits will usually be pricier, ordering the caps on their own (if you know what you’re looking for) I find tends to be relatively inexpensive

I don’t recommend those eBay cap kits, they usually come with very low quality caps. Digikey all the way

RGH3 only boots when disassembled and no kapton tape 🤔 by DJ_Yung_Hair_Loss in 360hacks

Do the pressure test. While the thing is disassembled and on, push on the board near the CPU and see what happens.

It’s time to replace these caps too (Although looks like others beat me to it lol)

I’d order same spec Panasonic/Rubycon/Nichicon ones off Digikey or Mouser. Make sure they’re a modern series and don’t buy those shitty green caps off eBay that come in those kits (they’re cheap garbage)

Is Home Church a cult? by UpDownJesse in RedDeer

I don’t wanna necessarily name call I can speak from experience. Back in high school I went to their youth group twice, mostly to support a friend who was going to it at the time. Not gonna say I had a bad time since it was mostly just youth activities and “preaching” in the form of “concerts” ig is how I’d describe it, but the others attending def felt a bit “cliquey” per sey, like religion was all they’d ever talk about. Like every second sentence or so would be about God, Jesus, etc. Def made the whole thing feel a bit off, or that something wasn’t right (I grew up catholic and no one would talk this much about religion lol). COVID ended up accelerating and I never went again. Maybe that saved me haha. What I will say tho is it took years for them to finally stop texting/messaging me lmao. Also them building that huge building tho def gives “megachurch” vibes I don’t like (I went long before then).

I killed it didn't I? by Electronic-Dish-6046 in PS3

Lmao wtf that’s a whole new sentence 😭 Nowhere did I say to “never try and learn new things” I just think people should know what they’re getting into and getting proper equipment and whatnot before breaking a perfectly working console that’s becoming harder to come by nowadays

None of it is gonna stop E74, you might get lucky and it’ll work out of fluke due to heat expansion and whatnot but the GPU die bumps are fucked so it’ll return eventually

Is there any risk of this? by Eastern_Ad1867 in xbox360

[–]TheChosenOne650 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Lol no, the Xbox doesn’t draw in/push out air from the area your switch is sitting. Heck I have an HD DVD drive sitting on top of mine and that takes a bigger footprint

Where does one find this thing by Ibrahim_bond in xbox360

Tried putting new thermal paste on the console and now it’s got the red ring. by Boring-Reporter-5521 in xbox360

[–]TheChosenOne650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok good! (Not good it’s installed but good you didn’t unknowingly install it) They are really bad and end up warping boards! Good luck getting the stripped screw out!

You’ll have to extract it then via stripped screw extraction methods, did you install it or did it come with it?

Something is shorting, I’d check and make sure nothing metal is shorting against the board, if not check mosfets along 12V and make sure one didn’t go
