I recently found out that over 99% of original Xbox units won't work anymore because of a faulty part that corrodes enough to destroy the motherboard by this point in time. So much for original Xbox discs, huh? Yeah the clock capacitor in it was made with a cheap part. Eventually it starts oozing acid and eats away at the motherboard. You need to open the Xbox up and just yank it out. The last revision of the Xbox, v1.6, fixed this issue but that revision was made near the end of its life. --- https://imgur.com/R15aJJ3 https://imgur.com/NJqp6LS <cite>BlazinBlue88 posted [p:948388619] in Is the era...
