Was doing some looking around Goodwill and was lucky enough to find an Original Xbox for only $25! Got it home and cleaned him up, disc drive didn't work at first but I tinkered and fixed the belt that was getting stuck. Booted up an old copy of Halo 2 and all was well. So happy with this find!
Remember to check the health of the capacitor they used as a cmos battery!
Not actually sure how to check that! Any tips?
If I remember correctly I watched this video , try searching "xbox capacitor replacement" on youtube!
Woah, nice! I should check into my local Goodwill sometime. Great restoration tale. :)
Before the pandemic my local goodwill had dozens of these for five dollars each. Picked a couple up and most worked. You should check the clock cap https://hackaday.com/2020/12/14/save-your-original-xbox-from-a-corrosive-death/
Awesome, love the og xbox. And there are some amazing mod chips that have been coming out lately check out Tito’s new video about it https://youtu.be/QFEIG-ANGrg
Been hearing this console is great for modding so I'll give it a look for sure!
Damn, great find! Now you just need to boot up Fusion Frenzy for the ultimate nostalgia kick.
