Re: XBOX Original - Won't power on

@stj & @Stefan Payne thanks very much to both of you.

Sorry to bump this after such a long time, but this website doesn't ship to Israel, and being the procrastinator that I am, I didn't do anything about it in the last 18 months .
I really want to fix it now, though.
Do you have another suggestion for caps that I can order to Israel?

I don't understand what you mean. Can you please explain?

Again, I don't understand what you mean. Can you please explain?...

Re: Original Xbox Replacement Caps

I have the same problem as you (for a long time now, and never got around to fix it).
Did you fix yours?
What did you end up using?
Thanks!...

Re: XBOX Original - Won't power on

I have 5 bad 3300uF caps.
Please see the below pictures. You can see the bad caps on the top right part of the main board in the first picture.
Can you please advise what can I do?
Thanks!

Re: XBOX Original - Won't power on

I have a 1.6 board - does it make any difference?

Are there really no suitable caps for this on digikey or any other store?
How does 5x1000uF replaces 3x3300uF?

If I understood correctly, this replacement is done because "Ultra low ESR" caps are needed and are not available anymore.
How do I recognize an "Ultra low ESR" cap? Should I only consider the ESR value, or maybe also Impedance or Ripple-Current@Low/High-Frequency or something else? For ESR, how low is "Ultra low"?

Re: XBOX Original - Won't power on

Thanks again.
Unfortunately, The badcaps store doesn't have them anymore.

I've found the following three caps at digikey - copy and paste the full url:

Re: XBOX Original - Won't power on

So, you're saying I'm better off replacing my bulging 3300uF 6.3V caps with new 3300uF 10V caps rather than new caps with the original 3300uF 6.3V rating?

Is ESR=Impedance?...

Re: XBOX Original - Won't power on

Thanks.
What about impedance? Lower is better?...

Re: XBOX Original - Won't power on

I have the exact same problem.
What are the best capacitors to put instead of the defected ones?
Should I just put another 3300uF 6.3v capacitors or are higher voltage capacitors better?

Also, are Capacitance and Voltage the only things that matter? Does ripple current matter? If so, lower is better, right?

Thanks!
