Bought a used XBOX. Turns out to be modded, but...

[Alexander1970]

No reading troubles. inside the XBOX is a Philips drive iirc

Thank you,Philips are really reliable and durable.
Did you had a Look on this Trace Thing like @SirECK suggested ?

I had this on 2 XBoxes´s,it is maybe really worth a Try.

Thank you.

Uhm...
Looks like some capacitors died. Could it be this one cap that is known for being problematic leaked and damaged other parts?

Looks like that one indeed (should say "Powerstor Aerogel Series B" on it)

Just desoldered this cap and it indeed leaked lol
These 3 SMD caps (C7G2, C7G3, C7G4) just feel off when cleaning this area. Is there any information about these?

Very good you noticed it,excuse me,I completely forget about that (I never had it,lucky one.)

Here is a good Guide (but you will find enough (maybe better) of them with the Search Term "xbox capacitor replacement".

There is a List of the XBox Capacitors (please have a Look on the XBox Version you have):

Good Luck,Cortney.

Okay, I bridget the corrododed lanes. Now the console can be powered on with the power button and pressing the eject button doesn't turn it off anymore
For some reason, it won't boot with the EVO X BIOS anymore. No matter what I do.
Could this be caused by the lack of these broken SMD capacitors?

Please check the D0/L1 Points are still soldered/connected to the Chip/Mainboard please.

Thank you.



Addition:

Of Course,ah,yes,you "bridged" the Lanes,maybe now the direct Contact is no longer there to L1.

Wire D0 got disconnected. Whoever installed it did a horrible job. In before this little pad gets completely screwed, is there an alternate pad?

Welp, I'm back in the Evolution X menu and started the FTP Client app and created a server with FileZilla. Is that correct?

Yes,there are alternate D0 Pad,you only should know the Mainboard/XBox Version please:



For Uploading Games please:

You can use for Example Tools like:

- Qwix 1.01 to transfer ripped (but of course complete) ISO´s from original Disc Games to the XBox HDD via FTP Protocol - ready to Play.
or
- C-XBox Tool v2.0.6 to transfer HDD Ready XBox Games to the Xbox HDD via FTP Protocol - also ready to Play.

For Ripping your Original DVD Games to the Xbox HDD you need the XBox Application
"DVD2Xbox" (it should be on the Install Discs for the XBox).

You start it from the XBox custom Dashboard Evolution or Unleash.

Thank you.

"DVD2Xbox" (it should be on the Install Discs for the XBox).

Thanks. I think this is what I need.
For some reason, I can't even build up a connection to my XBOX.
Should I change the default gateway?

I had also Troubles to get a Connection with an Router so I have an Direct Connection with the PC.

Network Card: 192.168.0.1 (255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask)
Filezilla: 192.168.0.2 Logon Type:Normal User/Password: xbox/xbox (Lower Case)

After that the Tools Qwix and C-Box Tool should also work.
By the Way,I always use the Unleash Dashboard.

Thank you.

Ah, thank you!
A normal path cable or crossover?

Honestly,I had no Idea,I grabbed one from my "Drawer" (it says Cat5e so it is a twisted Pair)
So yes it should be a Crossover One.

 

[CosmoCortney]

Alright. Mine has CAT.5E as well.
Still no success..
Also tried Qwix

EDIT: also tried UnleashX but then my XBOX won't boot into the dashboard

Ok,so here is this "Evolution Dashboard" Thing again...
(Now I remember why I prefer Unleash..)

Standardgateway is 192.168.0.100 ?

Would you be so kind and upload an Screenshot from the
Network Card Details/Staus Details and the Evox Network Settings Page please ?
(By the Way which OS did you use on the PC please ?

Thank you for your Help,Courtney.

 

[Ryccardo]

A normal path cable or crossover?

You should use a crossover cable to connect directly 2 network cards, however if the one in your PC was designed after 2004 most likely it has "Auto MDI-X" so it can automatically cross a regular cable

Most 3rd party dashes have a ftp server (EvoX is what I use for games, XBMC for media thanks to its auto rename feature to make filenames FATX compatible) but you will need to properly configure a static IP for both

It also helps to disconnect your PC from any other network (shouldn't matter if you do things right = pick a different subnet)

 

[Alexander1970]

Maybe this Manual should solve your Issue:
