The system runs really hot now, I think it is because of the missing capacitor.
Should I send it to microsoft? It hasn't been opened and everythings in place (apart from the capacitor of course) and still has 3 months warrenty.
btw is there any way I can reregister a used console? The console is a xenon from 2005.
It has been open there for there is no ore warranty. Microsoft wont even touch it.
Try to solder the resister back in place. If not at least remove it so it wont rattle around and end up causing some other sort of short.

Might as well remove it then, thanks for the reply. It's one of the largest caps in the console but it works anyway so it's probably not a major capacitor.
Really? microsoft won't touch an opened console? better hope my xenon box don't get red ring then (though I was told that xenons have a low failure rate)
Seriously lmao.
Xenons have the highest failure rate as they are the launch model. Anyhow, that sticker you had to remove to well take off a screw, remove the lid and what not. That was the warranty sticker and that's how MS knows it's been tampered with.
