This is a template page for creating new pages for devices, troubleshooting them, part lists, and other repair info.

Known Issues

Internal clock resets upon power loss

Causes

  • The aerogel supercapacitor responsible for keeping the RTC online has failed.

Solutions

  • Replace the capacitor.
  • Remove the capacitor, but manually set the time upon rebooting after power loss.
  • Connect your Xbox to the internet so that it can synchronize (requires custom dashboard) with a timeserver on boot.

Disc drive no longer reads discs

Causes

  • The rubber drive belt has degraded
  • The read laser has failed

Solutions

  • Replace the drive belt
  • Replace the entire drive

Disassembly Notes

See disassembly tab for step-by-step guide.

  • The four rubber feet on the underside of the device are held in with strong adhesive. If you want them to remain after disassembly, peel them back (from the outer edge of the device) just enough to expose the screw heads.
  • By this point, the internal IDE ribbon cable is over a decade old, so be very gentle with it. Bending it too many times will damage the internal connections, rendering it flaky or inoperable.
  • The power supply is internal and not covered once the Xbox drive units are removed. Be very careful not to shock yourself on it.
