Soft Modded Started Freezing
Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2018 5:59 pm
Hey guys
I'm not a regular on here, mostly because shortly after signing up I got my Xbox all setup and never needed to touch it. It has been working strong for years, until now.
The first sign of issue was when I inserted a DVD and XBMC froze, I rebooted the system and it froze while loading the dashboard, turned it off and on and managed to get as far as the menu system on the DVD I wanted to watch. It seemed to sort itself out for a while until today, when it was freezing up a lot and simply didn't want to play ball. The only time it doesn't seem to mess up is when I power up with the eject button, bringing up the settings, FTP, file manager menu system.
This xbox was soft modded around 2009 and has been used as a media center / game system ever since. The only thing that really saw and update was XBMC.
a friend suggested the hard drive might be on the way out, I wondered if the caps were showing their age.
Any advice would be welcome.
