For the Samsung DVD Drives, check the Resistor Arrays behind the IDE connector 82 and 33 OHM should all of them read. Error 12 mostly caused by faulty Resistor Arrays (:
OG Xbox are easy to soft-mod too. And yes it unlock the DVD drive for burnt images. The CD tray is a good way to judge if the drives are the same model.
You can configure the BIOS so the system ignores a missing or faulty DVD drive. Most of my OG Xboxes don't even have the DVD drive installed, mostly because I've slimmed them down. I copy stuff over via FTP to the HDD.
Hi phill been a long time viewer and appreciate everything you do I don’t normally comment on content as I’m not confident enough I’m over 50 and I’m a welding engineer for the past 40 years So soldering and electronics are interesting to me and I’m a long time gamer So thanks for all the content over the years Its better watching you than most stuff that’s on the tv these days 😂 Oh and good luck with your shed I did the same thing a few years ago your doing a good job 👍
the og xbox is sweet i still have 3. you can upgrade the cpu to an 1 ghz and upgrade the ram to make it more responsive also they have multiple hdmi kits you can use on it. great video.
System is a 1.1, remove clock cap & clean any leakage, check for developing trace rot from electrolyte leakage, the x5 Nichicon HD VRM caps near the CPU fail on occasion. Error 12 Samsung DVD drives check for bad resistor arrays near the IDE header, and DVD drives which don't throw errors but don't read - try recapping. ESR meters are handy for ruling out bad caps; MESR-100 and Peak Atlas ESR70 Gold to name some
Just got my first OG Xbox, it was modded as well. My choice was between a “factory” model for $110 USD or majorly modded for $120 USD. 4000+ roms for ten bucks, yes please!!! Good find mate, good luck with the continued work on the shed. Just need to find a minty copy of DOA Extreme now.
I've got a softmodded OG Xbox if you want it, I've not plugged it in for years so no idea of the condiition (it worked before it got put away) yours FOC if you'd like to cover the postage
I have an OG crystal Xbox that Azidz helped me mod due to the drive not reading disks ( laser issue I think) so you can dump the game and send it to the Xbox over ftp.
Ive still got my OG xbox. its TSOP flashed. 1tb hard drive, etc I even internalised the dvd remote sensor, fitted USB ports to the console etc. But one day i went to play it.. Pushed the power button, and it just power cycles... powers on, turns off.. instantly tuns back on again, then back off.... Keeps doing that... I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with it :( (its not the clock cap causing damage, i removed that years ago, before it had even gotten chance to leak)
Oh man i remember my OG Xbox had it for 3 years or so and one day a random GFCI plug showed up with a sticker saying not to use the one it came with and until this day I don’t see very many people using them which is w/e idc but looking it up seems like singed carpets or something doesn’t really sound too bad. I didn’t really read into it tbh.
HL DATA Drives are the best by far!!! Keep it for future Consoles to install Custom Dashboards and Stuff. The PCBs from the Disks drive are all different. Samsung and Philips even got two seperate revisions :)
@@TheCod3r I'd circle it out but I cant post links here. It looks like its on the board tho, bottom left theres 3 big caps, inductor and right of the inductor is the cap in question. Maybe it could have been replaced already by whoever owned it before but worth checking out
I have been given/purchased over 5 OG XBOXes to fix. I've only had one working DVD drive. First thing you do, is swap that hard drive out for a SSD and then never use that DVD drive again except for dumping games. save the lasers!

Some times, it's better to be Lucky, than Good. You're Both!! Can't believe that the Maxtor drive is still working. Great One!! Thanks. 😀
I’ve switched completely different drives in the OG Xbox with no issue. No changing out boards either. As far as I can tell they aren’t married.
yeah only the HHD are married, password locked. The drives just need to be to have a an Xbox ROM
Still have mine and it works under my bed with the Xbox remote, makes me wanna play it

First thing to do is remove the clock capacitor before it does irreparable damage to the board!

cheers phil if you need any og xbox bits got loads mate

You should remove the clock cap though, even if it looks fine. Mine looked pristine but started to leak underneath, v1.0 og xbox too.
I think it's been removed mate. I didn't see it on the board. I could have missed it though

What's a rough price pal.for fixing a switch not charging and a broken sd pad that did when taking apart
I was up the attic and I found a crystal one
Please run 'Xcat' on that HDD
You should be able to put your halo game in there and copy it to the hard drive
I'll give it a try bud, thanks
Next ram upgrade and cpu upgrade ;)

make sure you replace the flux capacitor or you will be teleported back to the 1980's
Do you ever offer paid help via email or help if I join your channel?
