What do you think? Is this a good example of why all of those old caps need to be replaced?
It looks to me like a bad capacitor crapped-out and caused a short.
This was a v1.0 Xbox...

Re: XBMC4Kids (Pet project)
Well, the munchins have been wearing out the old Xbox for the past 6 months. Then they found out how to change profile names and messed things up. So I tried to fix it by changing them back and wound up on a black screen after the next boot. Couldn't get ftp access so I used Rocky's Extras Disc and ...

Re: [RELEASED] XBMC Origins v1.0.0
@Dom DXecutioner: I can't believe I missed seeing this skin. Just watched your video and it looks fantastic! I'm about to download it and put it on my Xbox to give it a spin.
Looks like it would make a pretty cool Kodi skin, too, but maybe just call it Origins!

Re: Original Xbox HDD unlocked
Thanks for the quick response Rocky5. I used your 2016 Softmodding Tool & Extras Disc, so yes it was Chimp 261812.
After reading your reply I looked into the security levels you mentioned and now it makes sense. Thanks.
BTW: The original drive that showed as unlocked was the 8gb WD Protege.

Original Xbox HDD unlocked
Ok, guys. Everything I have read on the forums said that original Xbox drives were always locked. I just used Chimp to copy from an original Xbox HDD, upgrading the kids' Xbox with a larger drive. But Chimp showed the original HDD was unlocked. The drive copy went fine. I then locked the upgrade dri...

Re: XBMC4Kids (Pet project)
@Rocky5: Once again, awesome job! I just got a 2nd Xbox and installed XBMC4Kids on it for the kiddos and they love it! Thanks for sharing this, Rocky. Quick question: Are movie DVDs supported in XBMC4Kids? If so, I may have boogered something. Not sure. I tried to start a movie DVD but was unable to...

Re: Case Mods Showcase
@ Mikey. That's awesome.Love it.How'd you achieve the wood grain. @spinnersp - Thanks. I found the wood-grain texture online, dropped it into Photoshop, and had it printed on vinyl at a local sign shop. It was printed on a piece of vehicle wrap material, so it was easy to work with. Looks good in m...

Re: Case Mods Showcase
Here is my classic v1.0 Xbox
The only mods so far are:
- swapped original HDD for 120GB
- removed GPU fan
- installed heatsinks
- added 80mm case fan
Next up will be an even larger HDD...

Re: Softmod Tool: Need testers.
@Rocky5: I just used your Extras disc to upgrade my v1.0 Xbox softmod. Very easy and went smoothly. I am a late adopter (very late), and bought this used Xbox in 2007 for the sole purpose of running XBMC. Everything has been working great, but recently I started getting into some gaming and outside ...

Re: FileZella Question
It seems like I tried this some years back, when I had two Xboxes.
If you are still trying to find a solution, this looks promising...
Transfer Files Xbox2Xbox with FlashFXP and XBMC
...might give it a try.

Re: Reparing Original Consoles
If I remember correctly, the 211 and 404 are just date stamps. So, 211 would be Year 2002 and Week 11.NeMesiS wrote:But what do the 211 and 404 mean, are they significant in any way?

Maybe worn contacts. I fixed mine with bits of metal tape on the contact areas.
