    Not a good design. The bearing constant clogs with hair as others have mentioned. The screw that you could not remove is backwards (right hand thread - turn it backwards from normal to loosen). It does not have to be tight - if you over tighten it that will lock up the brush (just like the wrapped up hair - the brush rotation keeps the screw from coming loose). We like the vacuum but every other use the bearing needs to be cleaned - terrible design for a “pet vaccuum” - if you can avoid long hair that wraps up the brush bearing it works well.

    @@IRVERA23-po1uo I did an oscilloscope probe between 2 Xboxes; a known good power supply and the power supply in the bad Xbox. There was a noise difference between the two, indicating a possible bad power supply, however switching power supplies did not affect the error on my Xbox. Sadly the Xbox is now a parts piece, there's nothing else I can do. It's possible the power supply could have helped but I know the clock cap exploding did a number on the components around it

    Either can be used (from what I remember). However, silicone grease has a tendency to eat away at other parts made of silicone such as seals, belts, or wire insulation. (Not to say that all lithium greases are fine though - make sure they're not petroleum-based before applying them to plastic.)

    @@DiscountSasquatch I think there needs to be more coordination, even with fast flashers. Like you have a scene that runs for 2 to 10 seconds, in which you move the colors slowly, and then completely switch them over to new starting values, where you can have slow fading again. It's pretty much a job for a micro controller.

    Thanks for watching! Sounds like you might have one or more bad capacitors on the board. If you're comfortable working on it, open it up and take a look and see if you notice any obviously bulging/leaky capacitors. (Note that bad capacitors won't always do that though.) At the very least (and assuming you don't have a version 1.6 Xbox), you'll want to remove the supercapacitor before it does too much damage to the motherboard.

    You should always remove the modchip first before doing anything else when you have an issue. This was most likely caused by the solder joints coming loose (Or already being shorted when it was installed) and the chip shorting out. The BA5815FM chip was already dead (No display and no eject) so no worries. Even losing the magic smoke usually isn't a big deal. I accidentally shorted out the equivalent chip with my multimeter probe on a PS2 slim and burned a massive hole in it while trying to diagnose no disc spin. Turned out, it was the issue all along, as replacing the burned chip fixed the original issue xD Removing the modchip and replacing the BA5815FM (And the fuse if it's blown) would probably be enough to fix the console in case someone has the same issue

    There are plenty of reasons. Modern subwoofers use extensive DSP control to alter, control and limit their behavior. In a system like this a firmware update might include changes to limiters, temperature monitoring, a new set of EQ-filters, improvements to wireless connectivity to the main unit, and so on and so forth.

    Copper tips are easier to clean, but they melt into the solder at high temps. I use copper wool to clean them. The SS tips don't melt, but are harder to clean. Steel wool is what I use to clean the SS tips. I attempted to repair this PCB board and I removed all top mount SMD capacitors and they were all good. After that I tossed it in the trash. I also did continuity test. I couldn't figure out what went bad.

    Anecdotally... My 1.2 XBox worked (poorly) before I replaced the same 3 capacitors near the CPU. Mine were also boiled out. After I initially replaced the caps, my box started the same cycle error. I actually watched your initial video looking for a fix. In my case, I figured it must be linked to the one thing I had done. I reflowed the caps and it fixed it for me. I assume it was a cold solder joint. Something you might try if you haven't already.
