I liked the respect you pay to the power supply. Many people say it's exagerated or such without knowing that the caps easily hold 400V. Sometimes switching it on and off does discharge them in some ways but I'd always check the caps anyways. Great job- very entertaining btw 😊

There is no way a cap in a consumer device will hold 400V. Where should they get a 400V supply from? Probably rated for 400V but actually charged at 120V seems more realistic. Anyways, the Voltage a cap is charged at isn't the dangerous part

The controller disconnects because the Xbox actually reboots every time it launches a xbe

The solder joints needing a reflow is pretty common on the 1.0 Xbox with Foxlink power supplies. The power ports move from unplugging and plugging the power cable overtime so eventually the solder joints may need a reflow. Some Xboxes were actually catching on fire because of it. The newer power supplies are much better and the power ports are bolted into the power supply board. The reason why XBlast OS was saying that C:\BIOS does not exist is because of the ShadowC from your softmod. XBlast OS can't see the ShadowC partition. Also a tip for removing heatsinks from an Xbox. Disassemble the Xbox with the hard drive and DVD drive connected, power it on and play a game or sit on the dashboard for a few minutes so that the heatsinks heat up. Then turn off the console and unplug it, then the heatsinks should be simpler to remove. Though heating it up with a heat gun also does work.

And hopefully the screwdriver is sufficiently insulated, and preferably the device ground is floating WRT both ground and your body... i'm making that sound a lot more restrictive than it really is, but you get the point, it's not just a universally ok thing. also this is only the safety aspect. if you care about the lifespan of the capacitor (or the rest of the device), it's probably not a good idea to subject them to very high currents outside of what they're rated for; in addition to that being a lot of pulsed power to dissipate, it's got a pretty fast rise and fall time, so depending on the ESL of the capacitor (plus the inductance of the screwdriver), you're potentially overshooting past 0V and subjecting the device to a negative voltage transient. plus the fact that you're not a low-bounce high-current switch, but a human with a screwdriver, so it's probably not a single current pulse but several random ones, adding a bunch of random frequency content into the mix to interact with the rest of the circuit in unpredictable ways.

7:55 that might not have even been 120VAC, that might have been 3 or 4 hundred volts DC. that's right, on power supplies with an active PFC, before they step *DOWN* the voltage, they actually first step it *UP* (the reason for this is really interesting but a bit involved for a youtube comment, but the simplified version is: it allows it to make better use of the incoming AC power; without power factor correction a power supply will only draw power from the grid in short bursts during just the peaks of the sine wave when the voltage is at its highest, which places unnecessary strain on the power grid, so power supplies above a certain wattage are required to correct for this)

the rust is just from moisture in the air. You could remove the metal shield as it is mostly there for FCC guidelines and rf filtering. but On the other hand. Vinegar should help remove some of it.

I would throw in the Stellar modchip, along with the hdmi mod, and replace the fan witha noctua one, and instead of an HDD use an SSD. Other than that, great video, nice seeing someone finally not yoloing a PSU.

Recently soldered OpenXenium chip to mine and upped HDD to 500 GB SATA (with cheap IDE to SATA convertor from AE) with a spare lying around with a new 80 pin IDE cable. I have swapped the ends of IDE cable (ex: Slv port side to MB) as I had the same problem. But it works well.

The rust on the bottom RF shield is probably from dust collecting there. My theory is the dust asorbs moisture in the air and then over time causes the metal to rust. I see it alot when recycling electronics that are dusty and ran in a humid environment.

It really wants to be an ex box!

The Xbox runs either the system menu, or a game. Nothing is run in parallell. So I bet that when you transition between the dashboard and a game the system just forgets that a controller is connected. With wired controllers this isn't a problem since they are instantly connected, but the adapters wireless protocol will be interupted and you'll need to reconnect.

Yeah a bit lame. It just caught me off guard because I assumed that all of the processing for the wireless stuff would just be done on the Brook adapter's end, and then the Xbox would just see it as any old controller and it wouldn't ever make the Xbox aware that the controller was disconnected. Maybe the Brook adapter briefly loses power during an xbe launch and it screws up the connection

11:33 holding any bare PSU by the heatsinks, possible BIG mistake if the caps have any charge left. personally got a shock from those heatsinks multiple times in the past, they can be connected to a switching transistor's DRAIN pin which is usually the direct positive rail of the main capacitors. REALLY make sure to discharge these things, even multiple times, before touching anything with bare hands, especially in defective units where the caps may remain at full voltage after disconnecting from mains.

Rust on the shield tends to be caused by dust. Specifically, the dust attracts moisture from the air, creating the conditions for underlying shielding to oxidize. And Xbox shielding just oxidizes like crazy.

My og xbox was super rusted best thing is to sand it a lil then apply plasti-dip it will peel off when you want it and isnt so to say permanent but as long as you dont touch at it and since it is in the console any way it makes for a good covering over the rusted metal which prevents it from rusting more.

Mostly just because I had this drive lying around. I've also heard that SSDs have some kind of issue with the Xbox that causes them to die faster. Something about the Xbox not supporting TRIM or something, I don't remember

@@BringusStudios I mean, macho nacho made a video upgrading his OG Xbox with an SSD, so maybe check it out if you want a bit of a sanity check.

​@@dhoome1234ifytbf I doubt an OG Xbox can even take advantage of such speed of an SSD vs a CMR HDD (but they did use an SMR HDD which performs worse than CMR so there could actually be the limiting factor of the HDD)

The way you just say "don't need to do X but would be good", the way you care about the console to make sure it keeps working in the future, truly shows your love to it. I wish I had the same care for my Wii and PS3 before it was too late

As someone who used the Asus IDE cable before, I can confirm it was a pain to install, lmao. But it was sweet using an SSD while I waited for another longer IDE cable to come.

as black hole delete past object identity so you can expoit it by extracing if possible and "recode it" to any thing we want for example you dump trash and you "exract" the matter and "code" it to gold or antimatter (*if possible*)

I softmodded the original xbox serveral times. It's also the first time I shocked myself on a 120V supply. I got a call when I was moving it in to a computer case and touched the whole thing.

"insanity wins again" the most truthful words ive ever heard

This is the way you present PCBWay and most important, they way you fix your very beloved personal items 😊❤

u shoulda banked the tsop.. coulda loaded 4 different flashes.. og included... also.. The difference with an 80-pin cable is that all the extra wires are tied to ground. This helps prevent wire-to-wire electromagnetic interference which in turn allows faster transfer speeds on the 80-pin cables.

Loved your humor, i relate to you in unhuman levels

People have this oversight about heatsinks, when they get oversaturated with heat (which they will if the chip they are placed to cool is getting over or at their capacity 100% of the time, the air around them being colder as their heat raises increases the transfer heat the bigger the difference is but without a fan to accelerate that, the effect is mostly minimal in room temps let alone in an relatively isolated space like this Xbox). Without a fan, they become a chip cooking component, that's why depending on the temps on them and their thermal capacity + area, even with relatively low amount of air moving through them can make a huge difference in temps.

Loving the oldschool "will it blend" reference. Great video. Educational & Entertaining!
