XBox Clock Capacitor Change
Although I had intended this to be a tutorial, it sure did not turn out that way. I add another working console to the shelves and maybe in the future I will do an actual how to video.

Oh, you have to grease and lubricate some part of the module, thank you, regards, Hello Whetecoulditgo , I have a question about how to clean the heads of a Teac A6600. Can you make a video about it on the A6600? Is isopropyl alcohol used for cleaning? and how to clean it, thanks a greeting and a good like from a subscriber,,,,,
Nice, great to see the factory capacitor didn’t leak at all! It’s a very cool console except for that clock cap. The Xbox also looks great on that Panasonic!
Wow what a flashback; I think my roommate had the same or a similar hooked to his XB. ❤ The Duke controller, OG Halo, and later XBMC serving up our media!
That capacitor looked so good, I wonder if someone else had replaced it. I have a few more of these consoles on my fixing pile, I would like to do a proper how to. Do you think it's a good idea?
I forgot about XBMC. That can't still work, does it?
@@wherecoulditgo4677 I know it forked into Kodi which is still active… I think there may be some XB compatible builds still…
@@wherecoulditgo4677 I like the idea; but I watch some of the HW mod/repair channels, so I’d be in the demographic for it. Have a couple Atari 5200s I need to look into fixing; all of this stuff is related by steps & technique
What are some of your favorite Xbox games?
Playing Halo for the first time was amazing. My absolute favorite is Knights of the Old Republic. Know any hidden gems?
@@wherecoulditgo4677 I don't really know of any hidden gems. used to play a lot of Halo back in the day if the system party thing just got burnt out on it. I have a small stack of original Xbox games that always go back to playing, every once in awhile, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Game of the Year Edition). Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Time splitters, future perfect TimeSplitters 2 Fable Sniper Elite Sudeki Conker: Live and Reloaded Hunter: The Reckoning Land of the Dead: The Road to Fiddler's Green There might be one or two more I miss, but these are the games. I always go back to playing some of these games I'm not really that good at. Just have a good time playing them. I love these games because they were simply amazing back when they came out to me and had decent gameplay. But if you've never played any of these , or if you have let me know what you think, please.
what brand of soldering iron are you using?
I don't remember specifically, it is just something I picked up on Amazon.
So is this a factory error or is it something that has to be changed out every couple years on certain Xboxes?
As time rolls on, they just leak. If you're not careful, the leaked electrolyte will destroy traces and your xbox unplayable.
There might be a dead spot in the spindle motor. I suggest hooking it up to a power supply and run it like crazy for a while. It might burn off any corrosion that may be causing the dead spot. 12voltvids has covered this in some of his videos. Good luck!
Thanks for the feedback and checking out the video! I'll give it a shot.
Good luck with the laser from China.
I really debated if it was worth the effort. The price of the laser was so cheap, I figured I would role the dice.
Home entertainment equipment, awesome when it does work. I’ve tried fixing a low end DVD drive and while it does work, it doesn’t really eject properly. Usually they are reliable since very little can fail, considering your unit had issues with DVDs and only sometimes played CDs, it does seem like a laser assembly problem. Nice to hear the VCR actually works, would be good to give it a clean while you are working on it. The motor might fix itself with enough usage but it might be a bit weak if it can’t initially spin a disc up. Fortunately I have a good selection of working players so the ones I have with issues aren’t much of a problem. Nice to see a new upload!
Thanks for watching and it's great to be back. The day job has been keeping me busy. I really do enjoy working on the home entertainment stuff. You can never have enough DVD players!
I know how it can be, always great when you get free time! Agreed! They are great to have around and still provide a great image.
Nice Betamax machine! I definitely need to get some more Sony HiFi and video equipment from the 80s to pair with my 1987 woodgrain Trinitron. Have you thought about adding some sort of CRT TV alongside the flatscreen? Not really necessary but it could be fun to use side by side. The changes to the setup look great so far!
The CRT is just out of shot on a cart I roll around whenever I need it. I used to keep the LaserDisc and Betamax there but I wanted them somewhere more permanent. I'm getting there. Thanks!
Nice! I can see how a cart would be handy, I’ve got some of my larger CRTs on a small entertainment center cart. Perfect for moving them, otherwise without wheels it sure is more difficult. Good luck with the rest of the setup, looks good so far!
Awesome setup, all the consoles and equipment like that SVHS deck look really cool! Seems like a good start, if nothing else is added into the first section, you could add something like a shelf above the VCR and NES for small storage. Maybe some tapes or NES things? Another option would be to include an entire area just for the video connections. Something like an older AV receiver would work great, switch between consoles and equipment and also have the option to use external speakers. I’m sure the speakers on that TV sound great though, looks like it was pretty high end for the time!
Thanks for watching. I am really excited about this project, making my gaming area accessible and awesome.
Looks fun! I’ve been working on some setups of my own and it’s definitely worth it.
The gear for the tape carriage likely has a crack in it which is causing it bind up. Eventually it wont work at all.
Thanks for the tip. I will definitely check it out. I hope to revisit this soon. Thanks for watching!
While this is a fun little project, i am very glad to see this work. If something bad were to happen and digital communications went down, this would be a great way to be able to relay important information to each other using this tried and true Analog tech. Glad i still have a couple old CRTs with analog tuners in them laying around.
This old tech can mean so many different things to so many people. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Judging by the grey hair, you and I around the same age. Ive been thinking about doing this exact thing and looking up videos on how to do it.
I had a blast with this project. The next step is something more permanent. Thanks fow watching!
It was 3AM when I was watching this last night. Made for a great watch on a restless night. Love the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, at least to just test it out. I’ve got a variety of CRTs small and large and they would be perfect with something like this. I guess a good question is what the source should be, DVDs and Blu Rays make sense as they are reliable. VHS would be fun but not ideal to put unnecessary wear and tear, maybe something like a DVD/HDD or similar combo unit? Of course another option would be a dedicated computer for the source content, I’d definitely use something like an old PowerMac or early Intel Mac combined with my iTunes library. You could always use Coax cable if you already have a bunch or have the internal wiring for it. Sure it might seem useless, but then again I also have CRTs and obsolete devices.
I wish I had coax running throughout the house. I have access to all the rooms via the attic, so that may be an option. I think a computer would be the best source and I hope to make that happen someday. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice, if you do plan on a project like that, it’d be worthwhile to route ethernet alongside the coax. Or you could always use the extremely fast and reliable phone line! I know I’d like to have the convenience of built in coax and ethernet, but it’s only easy to do without walls getting in the way haha. It’s probably overkill for a media machine, but a server type rack system would be cool, making it look like a broadcast station. Not to mention you can add rack mounted players for DVDs/Blu Rays, or really advanced stuff like Beta broadcast tapes.
I have wanted to do that, but I live in a populated area, and I know if I did I wpuld have my father and his ham radio club at my door real quick, and real angry if I make too much noise lol (that and I dont want to fuck with the CRTC)
I bet they would be angry! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@wherecoulditgo4677 I'm currently trying to find a old bank of rf units from a hotel so I can make my own cable tv haha
I just found your channel. And for the experiment broadcasting i enjoyed it very well. It is fascinating making your own station with the possibility of anything you want. Plus i think i might use this setup watching my nephew when babysitting. I have control over the tv and i decided lights out no more t.v. lol
It definitely was a fun experiment. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Thanks for watching and responding!
Signal distance test maybe?
That is definitely something I could have done. Maybe in part 2? I really appreciate you watching and your comment! You rock!
In 1985 my Dad,who just freshly divorced mom, bought me and my brothers one gift. The quasar vcr. Sat in my mothers home until well into the 90s.
When I saw it in the thrift store, I couldn't believe the nostalgia it brought up. I still have hopes I can get it going again. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Can you play evil dead on it?
I will keep my eyes open for it. Thanks for watching!
I got mine as a gift like 20 years ago, it worked fine for many years (except the source/tape switches made worse and worse contact). I think once the power switch stopped making contact, then one of the erase head wires broke which took me head scratching for a while, then it started slowing down, one of the idler wheels' grease was gummed up. Just the next time I wanted to use it, it didn't move at all - the other idler wheel was frozen solid. Re-lubricated that too and now it basically works fine enough as long as you jiggle the source/tape switches until it plays. I'm rather happy with it except its tensioning mechanism has the tendency to oscillate on 15cm and 12cm reels.
Sorry for not responding earlier. I'm still new at this and I am learning. Thanks for commenting and watching!
I'm trying to understand what you were trying to fix?? You never stated the exact issue or symptoms your deck is having... I watched the video. The VU meters worked when you turned it On and the reels seem to be turning fine when you initially pressed the Play selector. What were you trying to do, cleaning and lubrication? You obviously adjusted or did something incorrect when re-assembling the motor pulley and made matters worse by messing around back there. The PT-862D is a nice simple 3-head deck and internally looks well designed compared to other "space shuttles" I've seen the insides of.
Thanks for commenting and I'm sorry it took this long. I definitely need to revisit this deck. I'm still learning.
I’m not sure what yours was doing that needed fixing but mine (same model) seems to have a frozen capstan motor. I noticed you removed the motor and then replaced it. Did the motor spin okay or was that the problem?
It's been so long I don't remember! I'm definitely going to revisit this deck and try again. Thanks for watching!
Ha! I remember those. It was just easier to break out with pencils and paper😅 Good trip down memory lane tho
Thanks for watching!
That trip was "Perfect!"
Perfection, itself!
Merlin (original) had 6 "games" - list is embossed on back. Tic tac toe Music machine - 10 notes + rest, 1/4 notes 48 step sequencer #1-So(low so - G3) #2-Do(C4 - middle C) Re(D4) Mi(E4) Fa(F4) Sol(G4) La(A4) Ti(B4) Do(C5) #10-Re(high Re - D5/D6?) Echo or Simon (1-9 notes) Blackjack 13 not 21 Magic square, light LEDs in a square Mindbender or Mastermind - guess a sequence (1-9) of numbers
I didn't notice the list. Maybe I should revisit it? Thanks for watching!
What was the issue? Was everything fighting you? I get days like that too lol
Every time I attempted a fix, it always just seemed to get worse. After hours and hours, I had to put it down. Hopefully as my skills improve I can revisit this player. Thanks for commenting!
@@wherecoulditgo4677 No problem, I get that too sometimes lol. Someone else most likely was in it before you got it and there's no telling what they could have done. The best thing to do is to go and try to find and download the service manual and go from there
He never states what the issue is...
Dude, you don't wanna jump the gun on a bridge rectifier!
What's the actual device number? Is it actually a switching regulator, IC or is it a power MOSFET? But the tester showing it as a resistor, definably means it's fried.
Hi again and thanks for commenting. T C3310 5A is written on the component. I looked it up and couldn't find anything too specific.
Ok.. I wouldnt ever put oil in a speaker especially detergent 3in1. There should be no friction when the cone vibrates. The magnet shaft should be as clean as possible as it may attrack ceramic bits from the magnet as it broke off and thats most likey why it sounded tinny once put back on. Glad it was an easy fix though in all! Maybe once in a while youtube actually pushes relatable content. Subbed! 👍
Thank you for the commenting and subscribing! I appreciate your advice. You rock!
You seem to know the important things. Reel to Reel, the best sound I have ever heard when I was a teenager in late 1970's and since I have always wanted to own 1. Own 19 FM Tuners, 11 Integrated Amps, 3 Monster receivers, 8 CD players, 18 pairs of speakers and 3 cassette (hate vinyl). Must have new Belts in that machine.
I couldn't agree more. I love the way the reel-to-reel sounds. I wish I could have gotten that Toshiba working.
@@wherecoulditgo4677 I will buy 1 hopefully soon, but for me it must be 10" Reels.
I recently aquired my childhood VCR too. It definitely filled a void
I can't wait to get mine up and running. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks ror commenting! I can't wait to film part 2.
As soon as I saw the blackened fuse, I guessed something catastrophic happened in the power supply. So I think it might be worth checking the switching MOSFET on the heat-sink as well, in-case that's also blown. It could have been caused by a surge on the mains.
Sometimes it's just nice when something works 👍
I couldn't believe that it worked. I hope you'll subscribe and see me try to fix more of this old stuff. I really appreciate the comment. You rock!
I bought the same unit in 85. what a great vcr
Definitely a great vcr, we had it in our living room for years. I really appreciate you commenting!
As soon as I saw that multimeter I knew you were going to replace the fuse and try it 🙂 The desoldering pump was definitely a surprise. Hope it springs back to life with the new rectifier.
I had to give it a shot! The rectifier has come in and I am excited to try it. I hope you'll stick around and find out!
Damage blue ray disc movies doesn't play at all everything proven people are lying people now days about blue ray disc movies doesn't get scratche up everything proven people are lying people now days for there money now days
You can't beat the durability or the nostalgia of VHS! Thanks for watching!
Your welcome
Everything proven people's thinking now days got them self's beat y they believe everything what they here now days everything proven people are more of the problem not the vhs tape itself
Y would people get rid of there VCR player itself or vhs tapes everything proven people are more of the problem not the vhs tape itself or the VCR player itself everything proven people keep there mode switch clean out in there VCR player people will never have playing problem's or tapes getting eating at all everything proven people don't do good enough job cleaning out mode switches in VCR players
Vhs tapes don't lock up at all everything proven people like myself are fixing a break vhs tape itself with Scotch tape it starts playing again with out no problem's
hi you are right prices are silly for VHS don't know why it's all over all the formats at this time in the uk i stopped buying vhs decks SVHS tapes i have i moved them to the ADAT recorder to reuse them
The local thrift stores here are all pretty consistent, except for one. Usually, VCRs sell for around $5, which is pretty good. The expensive store sells them for more than 20. I like to think no one is buying them, but they are always gone when I go back. Thanks for commenting!
Here's a video of another MX-100 ejecting: ruclips.net/user/shortsdheDj2Ov6Sw?feature=share
Thanks for showing me this!
6:30 don't worry the eject is slow like that by nature. I have a few other VCRs and the eject is way more robust so I know exactly what you mean, but it looks like the tape mechanism is really built to be that way, I've another video of this VCR and the eject is exactly the same, don't know if you noticed though but the eject on this VCR is super silent you don't get that typical whirring noise. I believe that most VCRs used the mode swicthing motor to eject (the motor on the top left corner) or a seperate loading motor while our VCRs use the capstan motor to eject, that's why it's slower and more silent. I'm also happy to know that those "snapping" noises and that back and forth "hesitation" the mechanism does before threading the tape , sounds EXACTLY the same as mine. So I assume everything's working properly.
For $5 that was a steal! I have the same VCR I bought on eBay about 10 years ago, it was 100€ at the time, but due to poor shipping it had a cracked corner, a cracked front panel PCB that I had to repair and the door flap was loose rattling inside, fortunately it didn't damage anything and I got a partial refund. It a very cool VCR, the belt on mine also became loose, I boiled the belt for 5 minutes and managed to squeeze a few more years out of it, but it's now loose again. Unfortunately my unit has a fault on it with the hifi section, it plays pre recorded tapes just fine but when I record a tape it seems like the hifi signal on the tape is very weak, I get pops and crackles and ocasional dropouts. I don't think it's worn heads because playback is excellent on other tapes, I believe the RF circuitry is recording a weak signal on the tape.
Thanks for the comments! Other than the eject I have had nothing but positive experiences with this model. I primarily use it as a way to play my Japanese game systems. In that respect, it has been a game-changer for me.
