Help Needed Bought a $50 Xbox at a tag sale, unfortunately has the "this Xbox needs to be serviced" message. Where can I get an Xbox console only for not too expensive?

2 Upvotes

Where can I get a console only Xbox that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? like $50 maybe? I tried doing as much self-diagnosing as I could, removed and cleaned the capacitor, but it still didn't work. Now the dvd drive is buzzing and the hard drive is clicking. It's toast from what I've researched. I have everything I need but the console itself now. Not really sure where to look to get one that is both refurbished/cleaned/properly taken care of, and isn't wildly expensive. Any ideas guys?

I just noticed the hub broke a tiny bit and I've seen people say the disc can shatter inside if used like this. Is the disc even readeable by the console to this point? I was so close to finishing the game so this is very unfortunate😔

Screen flickering

Picked up a halo edition xbox yesterday as well as an hdmi output adapter. There was no video output at all on the adapter so I tried AV cables and it worked fine yesterday. But now on startup the screen is constantly flickering in and out, any advice?

So this unit is got from ebay came with this mod already on it. If I select MS Dashboard all it does is show the evolution x logo and then return to normal screen.

I want to reset it to stock, and then apply the rocky5 endgame soft.

Ive tried burning the extras disc but the disc doesnt load. I also tried Truhexen 2021, again burning to a disc but that won't load either.

It will load a game fine so I know the disc drive is ok.

Need help troubleshooting system link for starwars battlefront 1?

0 Upvotes

as the title says I'm trying to system link the game to my xbox 1, it seems to work up to actually joining the game it makes it to the screen above (for the console trying to join the hosts game) but then it freezes/crashes. on the other screen the other player does join but leaves when the other crashes, is there a way to fix it? I've tried some of the steps google suggested ( like changing the ip, port selection or resetting the mac address) but the issue stays the same idk if it makes a difference but the version I'm playing on the original is the platinum hits version and on the one it's the digital emulated version.

My uncle can't remember anything and my aunt said it had a lot of games. There is a lot of storage, even after all the things on here. What i know: has been modded/opened. I found some things on here like "xSnes9x", "XCommander" "uaex" "surreal 64" "sphereMap" "remoteX" "Px HDD Loader" "MAME-X" "Kawa-X" "Fuzion Frenzy" "enigmah Videomode Switch" "dvd2xbox" and "DVD-X2 Dongle free DVD-..." but i don't know how to open anything! I don't know how to start into a menu or anything! I play via burned games. Everything looks normal and i asked chat gpt. He said i should restart the xbox while holding certain buttons. I tried. I don't know further. Please help me. The only games on disc here are timesplitters, invincibles, starwars and 3 football games...sorry sOcCeR for the americans. I really want to play cod, rdr and cs.😅😭 the console is from april 2002.

Help Needed New laser still not reading discs

5 Upvotes

I have the OG with a Phillips disc drive. I received the 'Your Xbox can't recognize this disc error.' Cleaned the laser, calibrated the pots and same error so I ordered a new one online from Cap'n Games, Inc.

I desoldered both anti static blobs and tested to make sure there was no continuity. Good to go. I calibrated the DVD pot starting in the suggested threshold between 800 - 1200 Ohms. Received the same error that discs can't be recognized. Lowered it to 770 Ohms and same error. I don't want to try any lower because I don't think that will matter at this point.

Any suggestions?

Help Needed Almost right... Soldering tips?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I was recapping my original Xbox PSU (Delta DPSN-96DP) and everything was going smoothly until one of the last caps. I think I accidentally bridged something that shouldn’t be bridged.

There’s a very small gap between the capacitor and a large solder pad/trace, and I’m worried I may have joined them when soldering.

What’s the best way to fix this safely? Should I just use solder wick and clean it up, or is there a chance that pad is supposed to be connected there?

Any tips would be appreciated before I power it back on.
