Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
Here are examples of Kemet Polymer Capacitor Replacement.
Note: I would recommend replacing 4-5 capacitors or even less depending on skill level and then test the console to make sure it still boots. If it does not boot you will have to figure out which capacitor is not working. I think I used too much heat on one cap and killed it...
Xbox Versions 1.0 - 1.1
Xbox Versions 1.2 - 1.5
Xbox Versions 1.6 - 1.6b...

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
Thanks I actually fixed it up a bit...
[URL="https://www.docdroid.net/45Rfxyw/replacement-guide-pdf"]https://www.docdroid.net/45Rfxyw/replacement-guide-pdf[/URL]
I ended up dubbing the spreadsheet as a "Reference Guide" as availability may vary. Using the capacitors part numbers listed on the spreadsheet as a reference it shouldn't be too difficult in finding alternative components. However if you feel that this is out of your scope you can just follow the the suggested part numbers....Leave a comment:

I made a post on BadCaps way back in 2015 in regards to replacement capacitors
for the Original Xbox Console. That thread has since 60,000 plus views...
Special thanks to "STJ" from BadCaps for he's contributions on that thread and others.
Using that thread and all the posts within it I was able to create a comprehensive list.
The spreadsheet consist of a summary and a detailed list including designators....Leave a comment:

Well now that I think of it, I did have pin error issues.
It came close to driving me crazy, turned out it was the USB cable.

He could go down the soft-modded road...
But depending on he's situation that may not be possible.
I haven't had too much issues with my TSOP adapters,
I would typically do 100pcs in a single sitting...
@stj, After spending most of the day reading through the many
CPU capacitor threads, your name came up alot...
I'm highly involved in the xbox modding community and
would like to talk to you directly if you don't mind...

Re: Xbox 1.6 Motherboards and Polymer Capacitors
Hello all,
I've been using an "Xgecu TL866II programmer" for ST M29F080A-90N1 (TSOP40), ST M29F002BT-70NI (TSOP32) and Atmel AT24C02N-27SU (EEPROM) for the Original Xbox. I've also been using it for Atmel ATtiny45-20SU (SOIC8), PIC12C508 (SOIC8), ST SST49LF002A and Cypress S29AL016J70TFI010 (TSOP48) for a variety of modchips. There are newer models "Xgecu T48 & T56" but cost a bit more. There's a list of supported IC's on their website. There are TSOP flashing tools/apps available for the OGXbox,...Leave a comment:

Original Xbox SATA Adaptor
Well I've been upgrading some original xbox consoles with new sata drives.
I bought a dozen of these sata adaptors from china...
The good news is that they are cheap and compatible with the console.
Bad news is that the human side of the manufacturing of these adaptors are quiet poor.
Alotta of the solder on the pins look very dry so I usually fix it up..
The two caps on the board are 470uf 25v (8x16mm) "Chong" branded cheap chinese crap.
I've been using GP caps from a local electronic store but they overcharge too much.
So I've been looking... -

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
Thanks again, stj...
Just curious, if i were to order some caps from Mouser I might just get a couple fuses as well.
The original fuses are (T)ime delay. The Mouser link I posted was in AUD
Those ebay links would cost about the same (10pk) once converted over to AUDLeave a comment:

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
I'm slowly making a return to the project...
Moving onto v1.2-1.5 PSU, I'm assuming I can continue to use Panasonic FR & FM series for the majority of the caps listed below:
PSU Caps: (Delta DPSN-96BP-1)
2x 25v 100uf Taicon PW & VX (6x11mm)
1x 25v 47uf Taicon VX (5x11mm)
3x 10v 2200uf Ltec LZG (10x30mm)
1x 16v 1000uf Ltec LZG (10x20mm)
What would be a good replacement for:
3x 50v 0.22uf Taicon VX (4x7mm)
What would be a good replacement for:
1x...Leave a comment:

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
Coming back to this, The VRM caps on v1.0-1.1 consoles have 5x 1500uf 6.3v Nichicon HD series, so couldn't Panasonic FR series be used here as well?
The VRM caps on v1.2-1.5 consoles have 3x 3300uf 6.3v Nichicon HM series, however still have 2 or 3 1500uf 6.3v Nichicon HD's located elsewhere on the board. Again couldn't Panasonic FR series replace the HM series?...Leave a comment:

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
I found Panasonic FJ 1500uf 6.3v caps on eBay and other places [URL="http://www.ebay.com/itm/301702594010?rmvSB=true"](Link)[/URL]
There available in 8x20mm and 10x16mm both with a 3.5mm pitch.
The board has a pitch of 5mm, Hoping they should fit alright.
Thanks, yea I'm thinking I'll go either Panasonic FR or FM for the majority.
Just not sure what series to use for the smaller caps (22uf & 100uf 25v)
Thinking Panasonic FR/FM for 100uf 25v and 22uf *50v
And I'll stick with the Nichicon WX...Last edited by NeMesiS34; 09-24-2015, 10:29 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
I think someone may have already told me that...
Someone had also mentioned the Panasonic FR series.
Could I also use Panasonic FM and/or Nichicon HD series?
Again it was mentioned earlier to use Panasonic FJ series for the 1500uf 6.3v caps.
However I cannot seem to find it on the Mouser.com website...
Panasonic FR and FM series have a ESR of 18mOhms, How low must it be?
What would be a good Panasonic and/or Nichicon alternative?...Leave a comment:

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
Do i need to replace the 1500uf 6.3v caps with other polymers or are electrolytic caps good enough? (v1.0 & 1.6 consoles use electrolytic caps where v1.1 to 1.5 use polymers)
The 680uf cap on v1.0-1.1 are 10v and 1.2-1.6 are 16v, So I'm assuming I could use either the 10 or 16v for all versions.
Is there any advantage in increasing the voltage on other caps?
If I wanted to select better alternative caps for the mobo what would I look for?

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps
Would it be okay to replace Chemi-con with Nichicon?
Good eye!
Yea, I forgot to mention this 1.1 mobo...
I have 5x v1.0, 2x v1.1, 2x 1.2-1.3 3x 1.4-1.5 and 3x 1.6
This is the only board I have where it uses 22uf 50v instead of 22uf 25v
There's a boxed M logo on the sleeve, as shown...
Any reason why they went to 50v?
Could Nichicon VR or PW 22uf 25v be used instead?...Leave a comment:
