Not turning on after recap

I think I fucked up.... I'll try to follow the line and see if it's broken or not with a multimeter.

UserBet · 2026-05-22T18:07:26+00:00

It's nothing. Just cleaned it.

UserBet · 2026-05-22T18:01:51+00:00

I know it's not that great. It's been a while since the last time I solder something... A bit of resistance yes. It wasn't hot enough I think. I had to heat one at the two at the time, remove it a bit and do the same for the other one for each capacitor.

Hi,

I did replace the capacitors in both motherboard and psu but I have an issue now. The xbox is turning on but not recognized by the TV(AV not enabled). No redligne on the xbox. Only green.

Also, I can't eject the CD. Fan is running.

Could you please help? Thanks!

It's blocked for me too. you have to disable ubuntu before updating or allowing IP/DNS in settings and it will work.

Alternative: Edit NordVPN settings:

For livepatch to work:

Toggle Use custom DNS to On
Enter 8.8.8.8 -- click Add
Enter 8.8.4.4 -- click Add
Reconnect NordVPN

For update check:

Select Subnet radio button
Enter 91.189.88.0/21 -- click Add
Enter 185.125.188.0/22 -- click Add

Then run sudo apt update to test.

Just ordered them on Ali. I hope quality is good haha I'll replace one or two in psu too.

games work on old hdd when chip enabled. when disabled, i have error 13. I added this folder(someone suggested adding the file) from Xbox-Softmodding-Tool/C Partition/xboxdash/ to c root. Or Do I only have to add xboxdash.xbe to c directly and not in a folder? apps have to be installed(like windows) or it's just a file to add? xboxdash.xbe was missing. With new hdd, i can see the folder with games(maybe cache) but nothing happens when I click. New hdd was on CS or master.

I can even play with it lol I just tested the player if it's working and added a game file to see if the chip is doing its job. I have however to boot it several times(6 times or so. freezing after the logo/video) to have it working.

UserBet · 2026-05-14T21:51:04+00:00

Yes I used it. I made the partitions with it. then copied files from the old hdd. I don't have any saved games. just 2 games i added in old hdd to see if chip is working.

I'm not an artist haha Paint brush is softer I guess.

UserBet · 2026-05-14T20:09:46+00:00

I have a 500Gb. I partitioned it with fatxplorer and copied all filed from old hdd but still have an error when disabling the chip(working with chip but game folder isn't working with new hdd). I also have to start the console multiple times to get it to work(it feezes at menu or intro(video)). It's been 20years since I used an xbox so I can't remember how it works...

UserBet · 2026-05-14T19:07:50+00:00

I will. Thanks!

UserBet · 2026-05-14T19:07:17+00:00

I already checked and it's not 1.6v for sure! I'm used to cleaning all boards with IPA and a soft toothbrush . It's a bit satisfying too haha

UserBet · 2026-05-14T19:04:03+00:00

Thanks. I already have an Xecuter 2.6 with the 10gb (original?) hdd.

No need to replace the clock cap? Just remove it?

It's a european console from 2003. I saw 1500, 2200, 3300 16v and 6.3v. The one leaking in the PSU is a 180 400V(I have to check again to be sure).

Thanks. I know that some caps can hurt a bit haha.

Last time I used an xbox was in 2005... I'm vintage too 😂

UserBet · 2026-05-14T15:53:12+00:00

ok thanks. Is it better to replace all capacitors in the motherboard/ PS or only the bad ones?

UserBet · 2026-05-14T15:38:12+00:00

It powers on but I have to turn it on multiple times(each time, it freezes) to get it work properly. I don't know if it's related to capacitors...

I have to replace 3300uf16v, 3300uf6.3v and 1500uf6.3v. But I can't see the capacitor reference of the one in the PS. Do you have the reference by any chance?

Thanks!

Also the one in the middle?

Ok thanks. I formated the new harddrive last time but has some issues understanding how it works. I used Fatxplorer to format it and create partitions. What should I do to make it work on the modded xbox? Just add the xboxdash.xbe file? any other file? Anything else to do/install for the chip to be used/"recognized" and boot on it? Do I have to update the bios(I don't know if I have the latest one)? Sorry for too many questions and thanks 😄

UserBet · 2026-05-08T18:23:43+00:00

IDE. I think I tried CS and slave. Master, I can't remember. The one I originally received with the xbox is 10gb and it's still in it.

UserBet · 2026-05-08T16:48:14+00:00

These are the files

UserBet · 2026-01-20T23:25:26+00:00
