Re: Identifying badcaps in a Xbox360
The MFZ I am replacing are 820uF.
I got the Rubycon MCZ from this site....Leave a comment:

Re: Identifying badcaps in a Xbox360
Hi mate,
I ordered the Rubycon MCZ series 820uF 6.3V.
They are to replace the current ones which are Rubycon MFZ and nichicon capacitors both 820uF and 6.3V. However the current ones are around 22-24mm in height and around 8mm in diameter.
The MCZ capacitors I recieved are only 12mm in height and the same diameter...Leave a comment:

Re: Identifying badcaps in a Xbox360
Hey guys,
I just received my replacement caps from badcaps.
However they are significantly smaller in size to the original damaged caps.
By significantly, I mean nearly half the size of the original ones.
The specs are same but is it suitable to replace the damaged capacitors?

Re: Identifying badcaps in a Xbox360
Thanks Toast
I'll look into the other mods, I have a Talismoon on its way and Ill try the aluminum shield duct.
When I heat gunned I did cover the caps with foil, although I just threw a sheet over it rather than securing it properly. I really rushed it because I wanted to get the thing fixed already....Leave a comment:

Re: Identifying badcaps in a Xbox360
It was manufactured in 2007. Its not the first gen model because it has HDMI, but its fairly old.
I don't have 820uF/4v caps, only nichicon and rubycon 820uF/6.3v. I only damaged the ones around the CPU (4 of them are buldged, another 4 have leaked and 4 of them have looked like it had a volcanic eruption). I had the heat gun on for 4-minutes, which seemed long but I blindly followed the YouTube guide anyway.
Normally I would just give up and buy a new Xbox, but I live in Australia where its a PAL...Leave a comment:

It is a mix of Rubycon and nichicon capacitors. The Rubycons have MFZ on them. The nichicon doesnt list additional info except H0732
@Per Hansson
I plan to buy Rubycon MCZ 6.3v 820uF to replace the Rubycon MFZ 6.3v 820uF AND the Nichicon 6.3v 820uF capacitors.
They are roughly the same dimensions to the current ones although the current caps are taller (both Rubycon and Nichicon caps are roughly 22mm tall and 7mm in diameter).
I also plan...Last edited by migu3l; 08-28-2010, 04:15 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Identifying badcaps in a Xbox360
Lol, in that case. I'll restrain myself from using it.
Why did you recommend me to read up on IC Chips? Are you suggesting the problem is bigger than I think?
I thought it was the case of taking out bad capacitors and replacing them with new ones. I was just about to order some matching Rubycon capacitors with matching voltage and uF, should I put that on hold?
@Per Hansson
Cheers, I appreciate insightful information.
Looking at that thread, Wow that was an eye opener. At...Last edited by migu3l; 08-28-2010, 01:38 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Identifying badcaps in a Xbox360
Hey people,
Sorry to bump this, but you guys are the experts in this matter.
My Xbox recently got the E74 message and wouldn't go away.Giving up on this Xbox was a last resort as it is a NTSC Xbox, and I have a collection of games for it. So I decided to get a heat gun and reflow the solders in the Xbox CPU/GPU and (H)ANA Chips. Using some tutorials on YouTube I overdid the heat gun and blew some capacitors.
I wrecked about 12 of them in total, some just minor leaks and 2 of them have completely exploded...Leave a comment:
