no mate, just unfortunate the 2 machines broke at the same time. my own machine (with the caps) is just down to usage tbh, not sure about the other console, its literally worked and now is totally dead. tried 2 different power supplies (known working) in other boards but nothing simply dead, no ligh...

@NeMesiS - thanks for that info thats will be of great help, couldn't believe it when i opened it up to see that. 2 xbox's with problems in one days after years without a hitch lol aye i didnt bother usually about the clock cap but gona do it to all my consoles now. What exactly makes the other caps...

sorry no you misunderstand, the console in question is a black one and i had tested all available other power supplies out of other Xbox's (known working) but still same results. i was only saying i had 1 more power supply to test it with and that it looked different (its the one out of a crystal ma...

Flip me 2 problems in one day cant believe it. so over the weekend i sold a softmodded xbox to a fella and did the usual testing etc while he was here. all working grand worked for 2 days then he moved it to his bedroom and boom its broke. he said it turned on and off a few times then gave him an er...

thanks xman, is there anywhere i can find out more info on what exactly can be or has been removed in the past without side effects?

It never rains but its pours as the saying goes, just had someone come back with an xbox i sold them dead as hector

Found this to be of interest too xman, didnt no that myself

http://dannygalaga.com/pictures/DSCN0959c.JPG This isnt my pic, its just to point out the caps im having problems with in an xbox that has the same placement as me. The 3 im having problems with are located under the right hand heat-sink (3 in a row) Had a look and there doesnt seem to be anything ...

Hi all, i have an xbox i used all the time and recently when turning it on it would either stick or simply do the power on and power off by itself 3 times and then flash the lights in a cycle. I used this xbox along time and before this never had a problem with it, expecting it to be something like ...

no worries mate was just a heads up

i think your asking abit much for the xbox tbh, 110 usd is over 70 quid uk and there going here for around 20 quid which is a little over 30 dollars.

Ive sold over 50 xbox's now and never asked more than £50 unless there hard modded for example

why not just use the xbe shortcut maker?

@good work r32crazy01 looking forward to the release, might even get onto that leader-board haha

no i meant gxiso, i have it on my computer and as i say it does exactly the same as what dvd2xbox does on the xbox itself, i mentioned the program as you said you had a slimbox and no access to the dvd drive. I use gxiso to extract any game i have in iso format the way dvd2xbox would do it then just...

yup its broken at least atm, plenty of other 'alternatives' to get that sort of content anyways dont want to break any rules by mentioning plugins here but any one who's used the xbox like me for quite some time will already know what im talking about

Could you not use a program like gxis on the computer for your iso files and then just ftp the folder over? Its basically a computer version which break the iso down the same way as dvd2xbox would do from disk

Would some soft of code written up for the advanced settings file not help? i know there's code written for some of the emulators etc to change the color on booting them, why not when music and video is selected?

sounds to me like your computer is set to show file name only. it differs from os but is quite easy to find, in the options somewhere it will say display file extensions. This will then allow you to edit the files

@N64 freak - what kind of cost would it be to ship to the uk mate? also if you could get a post up about your friends one that would be great cheers

thats a real nice xbox indeed, the paint job looks top notch and the lights just add to it. Also really like that jewel, think i may too paint my next one instead of adding lights

nope i tested with a few old builds but i couldn't see what you described, all the ones i have slightly stutter at the start (which never bothered me anyways tbh) i assume it filling some sort of network / cache buffer or something like that
