- Well, I am beginning a journey with my UA-cam friends on learning how to repair electronics. Mainly Gaming consoles. I know ZERO about it, and I hope my Friends will guide me on the right path as I make more and more repairing videos. In this video, I take a look at 2 original Xbox systems.

You’re the ONLY channel I know of that still actively uploads these type of console repair videos, It’s really interesting and fun to watch you trying to figure out what could the problem and trying to fix it. Hope to see more of these type of videos 🤗😁👍
Check out My Mate Vince. He is my inspiration
@@RookerVision Whats the link?

For future reference, never do what you did at 13:48 again if you don’t want to risk ripping the chip off the board and permanently breaking the Xbox. Let it run a game for at least 30 minutes to warm it up so the heatsinks can be removed easier and safely.
fun fact: a lot of times the rubber band in the disk drive of original Xbox's don't actually need to be replaced, in all actuality they are usually just dusty and taking it out and washing it with soap and water will fix the disk drive sticking.
I saw that in a video while working on these. I did try it. I can't remember if I edited that out or not. Didn't work.
@@RookerVision Aw Shucks! well, it was worth a try anyhow! it worked with my first original xbox
Your daughter saved the day literally with them rubber bands she had
11:52 : "this is really tight, that what she said" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao. Hahaha.
@@RookerVision arent u the one supposed to say that though?
Always remove the clock capacitors (except 1.6 consoles), just to future proof the console. You don't need to replace it. Next step should be to softmod and TSOP flash the console, and swap in a larger hdd... then you have an awesome machine even for 2020.
You can remove them in 1.6, you just need to bridge the connection
Yes , this looks like fun
Was a good time
i watch Vince aswell! This is a good business venture plenty of people still buy 360's and original Xbox's!
I was waiting for this video.
Thank you. Keep up. 😇
You better bring a packet of bands for your daughter 🤣🤣
You're welcome
Lmao. Right.
Man i really like this type of videos, I'm following the same path on console repairing and this video and the ps3 one just felt like me opening up my first ps3 at home, surrounded by my own "repair shop" mess :') I hope you keep doing them without raising production values, I like your style :)
the second xbox seemed to have the samsung drive, they are the best cd drives on the og xbox, the other one had the thompson, the worst.
Actually the other one is Actually The Hitachi-LG which are also the best ones and just as reliable as the Samsung SDG 605 ones. Both Samsung SDG 605s and Hitachi LGs are definitely the DVD drives u want for your Xbox. The Phillips drive are also pretty good too. But I agree about those Thompson drives tho, since they are very unreliable and complete trash, it doesn’t read discs consistently well either.
jn, i love your singing of optimism.
good luck on repairing all the systems.
Thanks.
@@RookerVision anytime man
You need to clean the old thermo paste before putting the fresh one.
it's counterintuitive otherwise.
Mate watch the hands when you plug the mains back in, good vid
Thnx. Yeah gotta watch out for the power supply there.
Nice haven’t seen the vid yet but I’ve always been really damn curious to watch people do this shit! Keep up the great work nice to see something different don’t let people discourage you!
Sorta comparable to cars in the sense of learning if that makes any sense, start off with the older shit, don’t be afraid to make mistakes it’s all a learning experience so have fun with it!
Appreciate you. Thank you
A great comparison. Thank you.
The Samsung SDG-605 DVD ROM drive has a frequency of failure when it comes to the rubber band it out stretches and no longer works so what you can do is dunk in hot water which will shrink it to give it better traction which will cause it to work
Great tip for everyone reading this who has a passion for their modded OG Xbox, cut 2 of the rubber feet in 2 so it would fit half of the recess of the 4 so you can get to the 4 screws without pulling off the feet, good for when you change up the drive, do the caps or mods. Other obvious tips would be to chip it with an Aladdin XT Plus 2 as it's easier to swap drives, the chip is now a bit more expensive than it was pre-covid but still worth it, some people like the soft mod and do it ok but others not, check the Capacitors (caps) are not bulging or leaking and remove the clock capacitor even if it looks OK (not v1.6), you can make it SATA with an IDE to SATA adapter, a low profile one from fleabay will cost £3-ish and you NEED to replace the special IDE cable XBOXs have to a 'slightly' longer '80' wire standard PC one. I have a Halo green XBOX with a 2TB drive with all this done to it for less than £100, there's other bits you 'can' do too but this is the nuts and bolts of a decent modded one.
version 1.6 Xbox didn't have a clock capacitor so you don't need to worry
6:25 - 6:34 Yes. It's the rubber band. It wears off over time. Just be more careful with the drive; it's very easy to damage.
That seems to be common with the disc drive sticking on those OG Xbox consoles. I miss mine so much. Sold it back in the day to upgrade to the 360. Back then, it was my only way to afford newer consoles, but I'm definitely considering picking up another one eventually.
I too have sold consoles to buy new ones.
JurrasicNinja is my favorite UA-camr by FAR. Keep up the good work my guy!
you can boil the old drive belts. that helps sometimes. makes them shrink back in size to what they used to be. but long term you're better off just replacing them.
also just delete the clock capacitors. it's not worth the hassle of trying to replace them. much safer for the life of the console as the new capacitors could eventually leak as well.
Yeah. I just need to locate them. Lol. Newb
The xbox game that i played all the time was Dead mans hand. LOVED It.
Clean the drive tray the gears laser and most Importantly the drive belt
You can try to bend the drive housing outwards.
It seems to be a common problem with disc drives.
Hmm. Not a bad idea
Great video man, love the content!
Thnx
You reminds me Chester Benington. Nice vídeo btw!
LOL. I get that a lot. I am extremely flattered by it. But I can't see it.. lol.. I love Linkin Park.
Mine even stopped reading discs randomly. Dunno why though. Too sad.
I just bought 5 broken original Xboxs today for 50 bucks. I fixed 3, just needed rubber bands, and the other 2 will not read discs.
I subscribed! Awesome video :)
hey man, if you need any information on repairing the Xbox 360 consoles hit me up, I've been repairing these things for years and years!
My best advice to you is too ignore ANYTHING that says to use a heatgun, or to block fans, or replace heatsink clamps with bots. None of that will fix anything, simply cause more damage.
Great video btw and welcome to game console repair!
For red rings. I usually heat it up with heat gun on CPU GPU only. Replace thermal paste, and keep the x clamps. Put back together. Let it run in game a few hours for testing. What would you suggest for red ring other than this?
Hi
So this is a temporary solution and the red ring will come back in a few days/weeks/months. There are dozens of different causes for 3 red lights to appear, and I've done alot of documentation and research on it.
This video will show you how to find the secondary error: ua-cam.com/video/netR2qoyfvE/v-deo.html
I have put all my findings into a database where you can lookup the codes: errors.octalsconsoleshop.com
The most common "RROD" issue that plagued the consoles is the 0020, 0102, 0110, and 1022 (E 74). All of these are usually a failing graphics chip, and the chip must be replaced on a BGA machine (I wish they were socketed!)
The reason the heatgun method temporarily works is the same as various laptops with failing chips, the heat temporarily messes with the failing die/flip chip solder bumps and causes it to work for a short period longer. However, the effect is temporary. This is why reballing is also a bad fix most of the time, as the same defective chip is being put back onto the board. There is a very large thermal mass on the chip too, and a heatgun will likely not melt the balls enough to reflow them, and if you heat it longer, then the chip will die from too much heat. Especially with the lack of flux.
Hope this makes sense, let me know if you have any questions!
You need remove the clock capacitor before it destroys the motherboard of the xbox , the bad capacitor Is on all motherboard models EXCEPT v1.6, the acid It will corroded it's way through the capacitor and leaked all over their motherboards, causing permanent damage. Essentially if this capacitor is not removed, the console is just a ticking time bomb that will eventually kill itself.
I will. Need to watch a video to locate it
Glad to see some new content from from you Jurrasic Ninja.
I had this guy at my local retro game store try and tell me that the original xbox was a garbage system and that the PS2 was twice as powerful! I was literally left speechless for a second and when I tried going into detail about the xbox's hardware he just kept interrupting me and telling me how bad he thought Halo and Gears are. I guess he doesn't know that most games are multiplatform lol. Next time I go in there I'll have to show him some of your Side by Sides. I hope life is well for you and yours bro keep doing what you love!
lol.. Well he was wrong for sure. For me, The Xbox is more powerful, which is a given, but the PS2 has better games. But I love both
What a great game to test 'em up dude!
I have a broken an xbox 360 consoles. It's broken and it doesn't have the cables that it originally came with. Do you know where I can recycle it? Or do with it? I just want to get rid of this junk, but I don't want to throw it in the trash if someone can use what it has inside to make something else with it. Seems like such a waste.
My Xbox sometime have the issue of the Green and Red light flashing
How do i fix this problem? Or it's a problem that i don't need really to worry about it? I'm playing with it for the lasts 6 month.
I fixed the tray to my Xbox 360. I didn't even need to open my Xbox 360, I just had to clean out the dirt to the rubber band, by using a Q-Tip and rubbing alcohol.
I fixed a 360 that way before too. And a few others that didn't work like that
Man i also have a problem with my xbox 360 tray not opening
@@TheSlavGamer Yeah, it sucked having to deal with that when it happened to my 360. But I did manage to get the tray open & fix it, just look up UA-cam tutorials on it. That's how I did it.
@@schooltrashers man my disk drive always gets stuck and because of that my xbox was taken apart by my brother to fix it and now im still waiting to fix it cause my brother is going to give me a tv and i want to play my xbox 360 so im still waiting
@@TheSlavGamer There's a way to get the disk tray to come out without opening your Xbox 360. There's these 2 holes located underneath the disk tray that you got to poke through with something thin. I use a nail filer and it usually opens up.
Can you try to fix a fat ps3 with YLOD? is getting pretty popular this new method of replacing NEC capacitors with tantalum capacitors and they claim that there's a 90% chance that those NEC capacitors are the cause of YLOD on the old fat PS3 and some slim models
also if you get a fat PS3 would be good to do a delid on the RSX and the Cell CPU
Yeah. I've been seeing this too. Just need to get one.
a great video I fix and repair my own stuff too not a super technical person but I'm always happy when I get things to work. also wanted where u got the tool kit

@@RookerVision thanks man
Man I love XIII such a shame the remaster sucked 😭
Usefull video . Damn i miss my trilogy pack gta3,vc,Sa with this Xbox .
Yeah, I've been on the hunt for that myself. I know it's on ebay, but retail is for suckers. lol
Wait for 360
Your from Boise city of trees!!! I go there from time to time.
Great video man!
I have problem, the optic won't read the disc, but the laser is really bright red. What should I do, change the drive or still can be fix?
Not sure. I'm super Newb right now. You try cleaning the lens with Alcohol?
I have that same problem with my second XBOX before I gave it away.
But you can just play OG XBOX games on XBOX 360 and XBOX ONE.
Must be tough having a kid around. You couldn't put it on top of a table or anything else?
I have a work space in the garage. It is currently a disaster.
@@RookerVision Oh. So is mine. I understand.
i love your vids keep doing what you're doing
Thank you
i have a xbox one classic but the issue is its not getting any power at all any idea how to fix it becuase this one that i got is in a great condition on inside and outside
No power. Then something with the psu. I wouldn't mess with that though. Dangerous. Either buy a new psu or if you have a friend with a working Xbox, try his psu to see if it fixes the issue
My Xbox makes some purple glitches on textures. It's in 3D, in the game, on surfaces... I have not find anything about this issue :(
I have remove the "clock" capacitor, it was already clean.
But i don't remember if graphics issues were there before... So i'm worried about if it's my fault, i don't thinks so... but who know ?
Could be over heating on GPU. You add new thermal?
@@RookerVision no
The problem still there even with the new thermal paste ^^
Oh man, this seems cool. I wonder if we are able to win those two console in the giveaway in a near future!
0:23 : "I know absolutely nothing about console repairs"
This is true. But I want to learn
@@RookerVision and I know you will because you're really passionated! :)
Thank you. I will keep on pushing on
Do you still have your old PS3 with GTA 4?
I have my original GTA 4 I bought on launch, but that ps3 is long gone.
Fucking Morrowind on the disc tray!? Dude! It works? I mean the game
Ayúdame a reparar mi PS por favor, dejó de leer todos los discos y depués ya no prendió.
Don't do this on a carpet.
ESD could kill your electronics.
First and early. Love ur content. And its totally ok for me for u to not do a giveaway if u dont feel like it then dont do but if u do then do it. Great content see ya later.
I will do a giveaway. I just want to do it with a perfectly good working console. Still might be one of these if my bands come soon.
@@RookerVision Oh ok but still amaizing content
spray some WD40 into the disc drive, that ll do it
You look just like the guy got into it with at the casino
boil the rubber band
Would a heat gun work?
Finally
BELTS
You have a daughter?
Indeed I do
You're cute
Well well, thank you
