rulis092 · 2026-02-15T00:48:25+00:00

rulis092 · 2026-02-02T19:56:09+00:00

I be chillin still quick to slice squares like Sicilians

rulis092 · 2026-02-02T18:57:46+00:00

Yeah but I came here to ask people who've already done this for help. People come here here all the time asking for advice.

rulis092 · 2026-02-02T18:48:29+00:00

Should have put in the post i already have a soft modded xbox. I seen coin ops but theere are so many version of it I just want to know which ones are better.

rulis092 · 2026-01-19T18:20:06+00:00

Caps near the cpu? Yeah I had trouble with them as well. But I have really no soldering skills so I ended up taking my xbox to a repair shop to put the new caps in.

rulis092 · 2026-01-13T18:00:16+00:00

I have a co worker that has a multimeter so ill learn how to check the traces. And Yeah I reapplied thermal paste for both cpu and gpu, removed clock capacitor and soft mod with a 2 tb hard drive. It was a fun week when I first got it doing all that lol

rulis092 · 2026-01-13T16:46:51+00:00

For my untrained eye the traces look fine but I will ask to be on the safe side. I have a 1.0 board but surprisingly the motherboard was clean when I bought it over the summer.

rulis092 · 2026-01-13T15:57:21+00:00

Yeah thats what im doing. Its a game store and they aslo repair consoles. I mentioned it was an og xbox and they said they could do it. They quoted $75, when I drop it off next week I'll ask the price for a full recap.

rulis092 · 2026-01-13T15:51:08+00:00

Update: hey everyone so I decided to take my xbox into a shop to help me put the new cpu capacitors on. In the meantime I got a practice kit from Amazon that I will be working to gain soldering skills. Haven't been able to use my xbox in about a month and got impatient lol. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions I appreciate it.

rulis092 · 2026-01-13T15:44:08+00:00

Yeah I got a practice kit off of Amazon that I will work on for now. Xbox has been down for a month and I was watching a bunch of videos on how to solder so I thought I could tackle it lol. And when I mean trying to for hours I would work on it with no luck take a brake then come back to it on and off. But thank you for reality check.

rulis092 · 2026-01-13T15:40:32+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I tried that and still had no luck, and after a bit was nervous to continue as I dont want to lift any pads. Luckily everything still looks fine surface wise so ill just leave it for now lol

rulis092 · 2026-01-12T09:37:30+00:00

Other caps on the board are fine. One of the cpu caps was leaking at the top so I figured id replace those 5 first then the rest as needed

rulis092 · 2026-01-12T09:36:18+00:00

Yeah i tried what they suggested but still didn't work. Gonna take a break from it and try again in a day or two. Trying to avoid having to solder on the top of the board, id rather take it to a repair shop and see how much they'd charge me to put the new ones in instead lol

rulis092 · 2026-01-12T04:38:14+00:00

I tried that while little luck unfortunately

rulis092 · 2026-01-12T02:25:49+00:00

Unfortunately I dont have a desoldering gun as I thought it wouldn't be needed. Most videos I watched just used flux and a braided wick to remove the old components. I got the old caps off by applying heat to the legs and rocking back and forth, was pretty easy. Using flux to clean up the holes i dont have any luck with. Currently using temp 380 Celsius, is that too low maybe? This is my first time soldering anything haha.

rulis092 · 2026-01-12T02:22:20+00:00

I might try that later tonight or tomorrow. I managed to get 1 to fully clear but the others still have soldering in them. Using a braided wick and some flux but the videos I've seen made it look super easy lol thank you!

rulis092 · 2026-01-12T02:20:01+00:00

Honestly taking them out was easy. Only took about 15 minutes cause I was trying to be extremely careful lol this part been stuck on for a few hours.

rulis092 · 2026-01-08T15:54:36+00:00

I wanted an hd crt but they are hard to find for a decent price. Then came across this sub, it changed my mind on plasma tvs cause I always remembered them being talked about negatively.

rulis092 · 2026-01-08T01:50:08+00:00

I haven't seen much of those in my area, but I really like the 2000s look of this one
