I really don't know how to get to that panel. Any time I've undone the clips the top part of that panel's black cover on it seems like its attached somewhere on the bottom that i can't undo. Do I have to do anything special to completely dismantle xbox (beyond taking out the hard drive/dvd/power) ?

sick a spoon (hanel end) between the front of the case and the side. just pop if off.

have a look in the tut's forum, theres a vid there somewhere.

Thanks for that tip.

I actually got the dvd to eject by using the XBMC eject function. Only one problem. I was stupid enough to put a game in to see if it would play (it did) and now everytime it started up it went straight to the game. After dismantling again and getting the game out manually my xbox started FRAG'ing (reboot twice, FRAG on 3rd) So even though my comments weren't originally about this forum's topic, sadly, now they are.

so is it doing that now? did it only do it after you got the dvd out manually?

My 1.0 works also fine after I keep it a hour in freezer. I thing it's some weak capacitor or some component that is sensitive to cold temperatures.

well if you have to cool it down, then yes, i would bet it is a capacitor. can you see any of them on the mobo that look sus?

Nope, everything seems fine.

btw, here's good parallel.

pic doesnt work...

well caps dont have to look sus to be...

im guessing you can check them with a multi-meter?

I don't know what those values should be, cause some caps are on circuit with other stuff. I don't have another 1.0 mobo right now.

what do you mean?

the values for the caps are written on the sides

there will be a voltage and a capacitance value. capacitance will be measure in uF (maicro farads).

There's no chance to get rights values from the board and I'm not gonna remove those caps.

fair enough

I get another mobo, a working one! There is some differences on resistance values between point of those 5 identical caps (pic.) are connected. I try remove those caps and they were ok. After some measurement I get a bit smoke from mobo(pic). There was tiny cap away(broken?) on below. Maybe cause of my brutal handling. I replase is with some random cap(i'm dulled). No smoke but still warm. Someone else shall continue, ok.

PIC!!

ferrari_rulz_02 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 07, 2005, 03:48:00 AM »

well some transistors do get very hot

the reason the working cap's resitsance changes is becase of its capacitance

can you show me which cap you think was broken off? if you replace it, it needs to be of the same value (in uF).

All those 5 where OK..

so have you narrowed the problem?
