copper20 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Here's what I need fixed on my original Xbox: 1. Replacement of the clock capacitor 2. HDMI port added 3. New thermal paste for the heatsink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I could do it. Do you have a component to HDMI converter you plan to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper20 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) I could do it. Do you have a component to HDMI converter you plan to use? No I just want to have an HDMI port put in. Also I'm hoping this wouldn't be too expensive, shipping is going to be torture on my bank account. The problem I'm having is that my Xbox shuts off by itself. I have already tried dusting the fan out so I'm pointing fingers on the heatsink likely. One more thing, I have another original Xbox that's not working, if you'd like I could sell it to you for parts...

SignGuy81 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Out of curiosity what is the other Xbox doing, or not doing that isn't working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper20 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Out of curiosity what is the other Xbox doing, or not doing that isn't working? It won't read discs. Also the top case has two holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SignGuy81 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Job complete. Other than clock capacitor there were 5 bulging caps that were replaced, 3 surface mount caps going resistive, and a resistive cap on the power supply. Caps replaced. Thermal compound replaced. HDMI added. Hard to tell by the pics but other than hot glue the HDMI converter is also secured by soldering the standoffs to the shields of the video out and the network port. If anyone else would like this work done just give me a PM. Edited October 30, 2017 by SignGuy81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copper20 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Looks good - I don't know WHAT Microsoft was thinking with those capacitors... they should've been sued for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
