Hell yes! Just found out about this recovery project via https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox:Scene_History and I joined their discord in efforts to aid the timeline. Amazed to see you still kicking Iriez!

Hi,
I got an xbox original recently. I tested it and got the error 11. I inspected the Drive to see if I could fix it. It seems that the most common solution is to replace it, which is pretty difficult to do nowadays. So I am trying my luck here if there is a slight chance to repair it. The cable is working (I swapped the harddisk and DVD, same error 11, I believe I would have had an error 7 otherwise). The power cable seems to work: the disc motor is spinning (although it is very loud) the tray does not open but I tested the motor and it is working and open the tray when powered. I cleaned the mechanism. the laser is not sliding but I tested the motor and it is working also. Not sure how to test the laser, but when I power off the xbox the laser head move slightly, which suggests that it is powered as well. I would think that the mechanical part of this device is ok. If the laser is dead will it return an error 11? Is there any possible way I can fix it? Thx |

Hi,
I just got this original Xbox (and I had one 20 years ago, so nostalgia is there). It is a v1.0/v1.1 (NTSC). It is not modded and also the DVD (Philips VAD6011) is not working (error 11, I will send a separate post on this one to ask if I can repair this drive). What is the best a way to hardmod (modchip or TSOP flashing) so to revive this console and play from the harddisk (original or a new one). I read quite a few forums already and pretty much all the time the console has to be either softmodded already so to benefit from a custom dashboard functionalities or the dvd drive has to be working so to used a Hexen or other DVDs. I have none of those. I am pretty handing with a solder (Aladdin XT Plus2 modchips seems easy to get) and overall IT stuff. Thx |

The xbox needs to be either have a mod chip fitted or bios flashed or the least intrusive is a softmod (Splinter Cell or Mechassualt exploit)
There are dedicated sections in the forums with FAQ's that explain how to do it. |
