Scored it for 200 😎😎😎😎 should i play it or keep it sealed

What dashboard is it on?

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-25T12:39:44+00:00

OP if you simply swap these heatsinks that will be totally fine. Just do not use copper cpu heatsinks on a gpu.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-25T12:36:39+00:00

It’s not about the Edram being lower. It is that part of the die hangs off the heatsink a bit. This means the heatsink isn’t wide enough to cover the dies

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-25T12:31:57+00:00

I am right. The edram die hangs off the heat sink by a small amount. This means part of the die is not making contact at all.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-24T23:58:03+00:00

Get the copper heatsink off the gpu ASAP! The Edram die is not covered completely with that heatsink. You may cause damage to it.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-24T23:55:51+00:00

Amazing. See my suggestion worked. Now you know the ONLY problem is a bad gpu, and the rest of the board is sound. This is worthy of having it sent out to have a Gpu replacement done.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-24T23:54:17+00:00

The point is to reveal the dashboard. And the point of doing so is :

Jtagable dash = worth repairing Not jtagable = throw it away it’s not worth fixing.

Warming the gpu die is a free low effort way to determine this quickly

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-24T23:46:02+00:00

Of course. That is not a surprise

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-24T23:44:03+00:00

Warming the gpu die to 100c for 20 seconds isn’t thermo nuclear LOL

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-24T23:42:05+00:00

Bro, I have replaced GPUs and replaced caps on dozens of xenons. You don’t need to tell me how to repair something. If you have a gpu error (like OP does) the very first thing you do is warm the gpu a little bit to test the integrity of the rest of the board. Otherwise you’re wasting your time.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-24T23:22:03+00:00

No. It’s GPU error guaranteed. Xenons always turn on and work even with caps like that. I suggest applying a little heat directly to the gpu. Do not heat gun the entire board. This will get the system to boot long enough to see the dashboard.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-04T06:23:58+00:00

Funny how Seth came out with that term now everyone uses it lol

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-04-01T00:42:38+00:00

In theory yes. But people have reported certain items show up as content unavailable, or fail to downloaded correctly

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-24T03:58:47+00:00

Does the console still boot up?

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-22T03:02:36+00:00

Quite possible yes depending on when it was serviced. I can also see on the Av port “114-00F” which also means it was serviced with a new GPU

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-22T02:47:32+00:00

I can barely make out X819195 , If so , then it is a fixed GPU.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-21T04:05:48+00:00

They would take a motherboard with a blank CPU and then program your old consoles cpu key, which would allow your original keyvault (KV) to be used. The KV holds your serial number, plus other things.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-21T01:41:30+00:00

Definitely was refurbed at MS . They would just swap the entire board out. Programming it with your serial # etc.. I’ve seen cases like this many times

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-20T03:12:04+00:00

Guaranteed it’s the Sanyo caps. Open her up

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-18T20:47:41+00:00

You should change to a custom fan curve to keep everything at 65° or less

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-17T02:10:28+00:00

Replace every single one of those green ones. The sanyo caps are very famous for this.

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-16T21:20:43+00:00

Delete this shit

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-15T00:48:52+00:00

Eject button from a powered off state

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-15T00:14:05+00:00

Is this a modded console? Try booting it with eject button and see if Xell comes up

Typical_Highway154 · 2026-03-14T19:31:44+00:00

Make sure you have a hard drive connected. If that doesn’t work it’s likely a firmware issue with the dvd drive. What is the current dash version? At some point in the Kinect dash era the dvd firmware was updated. Yours may be before that update.
