XBOX 1.6 - How to Replace the Capacitors (Detailed Guide)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- In todays episode we perform a full recap on an XBOX 1.6 motherboard. This video is minimally edited to show you just how much time and effort goes into a full recap of an XBOX version 1.6 (even the clock capacitor!) and why most techs only replace the CPU caps. Just imagine how much suffering must be endured for the recapping of a 1.0 version XBOX!

A week ago I recapped my 1.6 Xbox using the capacitor kit linked in the description and it didn't budge a single time during a 24 hour torture test in a poorly ventilated room. My brother got this system for christmas back in 2004 and in 2006 he gifted it to me for my birthday and I've been taking care of it ever since, I'm so happy to see it alive and kicking again. There are save games on it for over 500 games because it was modded in 2005 so simply powering this thing on is a massive trip through memory lane. Thanks for the video and the link to the capacitors, much better than having to buy them seperately or from a "trustworthy" Ebay seller.
Great video, enjoy the detail! I ruined a 1.6 board when I recapped the small SMD caps, all other went well. Have another 1.6 board now and will try again
It may not be ruined. The traces can be rebuilt. Good luck with the next board though!
Great Video !!! enjoying watching the learning video's! keep up the good work!! love it 😊
Thank you 🤗
Great video. Did the replacement a week ago, before seeing this video. These board take so much heat (ground legs) and the used solder seems to need even more. I ended in wasting a lot low melt solder what worked most of the time in the first time, but for sure I am a very impatient person 🙂
To make the mess even better, two pads at the SMD capacitors lifted. From there it was time to work under the microscope and create new pads. But it looks okay and works as intended. So I'm not thinking too much about it anymore.
Those short pulses with the Hakko FR301 will get you into trouble with clogs, pull the trigger for a good full second or two.
Thumbs up while i am watching this on a second screen/Picture in Picture, while doing work :)
Yea, that's about the best way you can do it while working. Thanks again for watching!
do you have the file to print the jig to hold the board?
Why do not use all aluminium polymer types?
I think at the time they were out of stock on some of the ones I had needed.
What ultrasonic cleaner do you use?
Its just any of the giant no name brand ones found on amazon. I think we paid around $200 for it. Also, I tried to email you, but the emails just bounce back.
Looks like someone has already replaced the 3300UF 6.3v capacitors already. I’ve recapped many 1.6 motherboards and I’ve never came across purple/gold caps
Yea, I found that odd as well. I think this is probably the fourth 1.6 that I've seen with those caps replaced. I'm wondering if it was refurbished by Microsoft at some point.
@@RetroRenegadeRepairs thanks for repairing my Xbox one x ….hdmi port trace repair. Kids are Very happy now.
I'm glad to see its back in use. It was indeed a difficult repair.
I have two 1.6's and they both have those Rubycon MBZ capacitors (gold/purple) they are stock and reliable.
@@RetroRenegadeRepairs My 1.4 had rubycon caps and it was never opened I think maybe Microsoft just used whatever was on hand as my 1.1 used 22uf 50v from factory when it was supposed to be 22uf 25v
What are your thoughts on twisting the smd caps off vs using hot tweezers?
That's honestly my preferred method, but if done incorrectly traces can get torn. Trace tearing rarely happens thankfully.
What nozzle are you using with the FR301?

@@RetroRenegadeRepairs Thanks!
do you need to also replace the surface mount capacitors?
Are you talking about the multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) ones? If so, no.
@@RetroRenegadeRepairs ok cool thanks for your response and videos
Some of those solder joints are nasty....
No R2-D2 😂
And please don't say "UF" when it is a micro sign. It will only confuse the newbies. Call if microfarad ...
