Xenium Loads Red, Then Frags. Small Cap Fried.
« on: March 13, 2004, 12:04:00 PM »
http://xbox-scene.co...are/picture.php

That is the picture of my motherboard. Check on the top right side of the picture. The 3 large capacitors with the plus sign burned on are aligned there. From the leftmost one, move alittle left and alittle up. The closest minicapacitor there is fried. Its the minicapacitor that is being covered up alittle by the wires.

Will the xbox still work with the xenium? It did work before, but then the capicitor fried for an unknown reason. Ive been trying to get it to work again, but it hasnt. At first, i believed the power wasnt getting the modchip, but that soon got fixed. Later, this happened for no reason. The thing is lifted alittle off the motherboard. I need help on this issue asap. Thanks

Yea, after about 2 hours of inactivity with my Xbox, it will frag upon loading my X2 BIOS. It will load in the Xenium OS fine. This Xenium is installed on the SAME xbox that the power supply was smoking because of some case mod I was doing. Someone told me it could be the capacitator.

Why dont you just look up the capacitor and order a new one from a component supply shop and solder it in ?

Its easier said then done....



I was thinking about swapping Power Supplies with my 2nd Xbox that has a Cheapmod. Someone said that could get too risky!
