@@TronicsfixMaybe you should stop wasting time on dumb things like this that kindergartners knew wouldn't work and maybe make a video on fixing the "Open Tray" error for the Xbox 360.

it did not see it, its firmware did not have the instructions to use/communicate with a disc drive....unless modders can add that into the firmware it wont work

I don’t know if the flux you use is much different than the flux I used to use back in the day, but you use a ton. I don’t know why I used so little or if it would have helped for me to use more, but I was always worried about making a mess.

I tried a robot vacuum... my 7 cats either freaked out at it or the bolder boys simply attacked it steering it into corners until it stopped moving and Jasper the Mario Maker loving ginger tuxedo one day was sat on it as it trundled about looking very pleased with himself... so gave it to one me daughters and its back to Henry hoovers which they universally despise and quickest way to get 7 cats out the flat hehehehe
Henry hoovers are a British thing, they are actually vacuums for builders which became popular for their huge suction power and cutesy face, the company embraced right to repair from the very get go as its fully modular and replacement parts easy to find and install, one of my builder mates still has his original one from way back still working as good as that first day.
if there is no discount code isn't this just an ad? lul. you can get a much better hoover for less money than the headache this is going to be. nobody has 'no time' to do something like this
There's a good chance that one of the SMD ceramic capacitors is shorted out internally. That is a common failure for them, and they are sensitive to rapid changes in temperature. Ideally, you are supposed to slowly preheat them before bringing them up to soldering temperature. Also, your hot air is probably set too high. If you preheat the board and do the work on a hot plate you can use 300 c hot air. It does take a few more seconds of dwell time, but it is much safer for the components. It is also possible to solder the plastic connectors with hot air set around 250 c, but it does require a good setup, patience, and finesse. During your troubleshooting, you should have also checked continuity to ground and the resistance between power and ground. The connector that had two through hole pins is the SATA connector, and only data goes through that connector. The other rectangular connector is the power connector for the disk drive and most likely sends 5v and 12v and maybe 3.3v. My guess is that one of the capacitors for the 5v rail was shorted to ground. One of those small black IC components was responsible for converting the 12v main power to 5v to send to the disk drive. However, when you were checking voltages, you did not measure anything that was 5v. Also I'd like to guess that the first black IC that you removed was a mosfet that acts as a switch or relay that lets 12v go to the disk drive when the console boots up and tells the switch to close. The disk drive should always have 5v going to it so the circuits inside the disk drive are working to check the sensor to see if a disk is trying to be inserted. The 12v going to the disk drive is mainly for the motors that move and spin the disk. The console wouldn’t boot up because the console is always monitoring its various voltages, so the console was looking to see either 5v in the voltage rail or that the 5v voltage rail was not connected to ground. What the console was seeing was that there was a short between the 5v voltage rail and ground and because it saw the fault it refused to boot up.
Why not try first testing a working I/o board onto the digital compute board to see if it goes deeper rather than modding a digital I/o board to become a disc I/o
I modified one of my fittings on my hot air station, the extra wide one and fitted a pipe about half the thickness of a pencil using silver solder and made cuts to put flaps into the flat bit of metal which I mig welded it to the existing fitting and it makes a fair very fine heat channel which I find useful in close places, useful for fine work but I did popcorn a couple places on my sacrificial motherboard so I got to learn how it works. Murders the hell out of unleaded solder very quickly but too potent for leaded I found hehehe
i forgot to pause my spotify when i clicked on the video so for the first minute of this video i had i need a dollar playing quietly under his voice and i thought it was in the video lol
What a great video. i always wondered If a board can be upgraded. I think the BIOS must be also updated with a software that tell it what to do and has the knowledge of the disk drive
Wow. That is surprising. As most people would not have the knowledge, skills, or parts to even attempt this. So the fact that the board monitors for current on those parts is wild.
I was like, no, you can't leave these components like this, but you always make clean work, so I was glad to see them set into place after the small cut 😅😂
In the beginning I thought you would just get a disc drive from another Xbox and just plug it into the digital system. Didn't realize a lot of work was needed!
I figured this would be the case. MS learned their lesson from the early 360 days where you could flash an aftermarket drive to get it to run "backups". Theyre all married together now.
Even if everything was done perfectly and MS didn't try preventing such a thing, you would need a drive that is assigned to that specific Xbox wouldn't you? Been that case since the PS360 days.
im looking at all these other comments and have a few questions for everyone: What BIOS? This is a modern gaming system, with a secure bootROM that can never be changed. The boot stages afterwards, while can also be changed, is just as secure. If i had to guess, there is some configuration on the consoles OTP (which is also unwritable - One Time Programmable) or an EEPROM that enables/disables the xbox to even use the drive. I find it weirder that just having a few resistors populated wouldnt let it power on. Now one of my own questions - what does the drive key look like on here? Is it all 0s? Is it set to something? Mysteries like this drive my insanity..
The only way this will work (maybe), is if you somehow extract the cpu keys (currently impossible or not viable) and flash it to the blu ray drive motherboard. Basically what you'd do with an Xbox 360/ps3 if somehow the drives outright stop working. But it's easier said than done.
I think when Joey was doing XBoxes he noted that the disk drive board was paired with the APU. Why Microsoft does this is beyond me... Because of this fact, the reason it may not have turned on was it noted it was tied to a different APU and type of APU. Knowing Microsoft, there may have been ties to that part of the board and the APU that wouldn't let it boot.
Fix it until it's broken. I'm pretty good in it, seemingly more people are 🙂 For the issue itself: it would be enough, when a part of the console identification (could be a resistor array or a fixed part of a flash chip) tells the boot process to stop powering on, when a drive circuit is found. you don't get any sign of life of the console, the first boot steps happen quicker than you take the finger from the button. As Microsoft learned a lot from the 360 era, it is likely, that they try to rule out any kind of manipulation to the console. And of course they are not interested in having someone populated an unused circuit of an already sold product. Without a kind of diagnostic like for the southbridges in the PS4s, it will be very hard to even come near the real reason.
There must be a way to get the Xbox in to developer mode to obtain any key it holds in it's BIOS and allow use of a disc drive. Better luck next time, it was worth a try.
I wonder if the power supply had enough current to make it happen, as I recall you saying the drive version xbox x had a larger current supply. Also you only looked for 12 v and i could swear that all drives i have ever worked on also had 5 v, so that could still be missing.
I feel like this all digital Series X should have been an option at launch. It's crazy that the system didn't even power on after you put the disc drive in. Which leads me to this question. Would a regular Series X power on if you removed the disc drive? Basically the opposite of this video.
Anyone may correct me here. But from what I read somewhere is that after the Xbox 360 was able to run pirated games installing another DVD drive starting with Xbox One they "merged" the motherboard and the disc drive to the point where both share one unique encryption key where the mobo says "1+1" the drive has to say the same thing or it will not even work?
Everything these days is married to the motherboard unfortunately. So If your console just stops working, the only thing will be able to do is buy another brand new one. And that's what these corporations want Awesome video as always, Steve 👍
The thing that stinks about these digital consoles is you won't be able to pull it out of your closet in 15+ years and relive your old games. Most likely all modern digital only games need you to be online, and those services will be gone. Whereas you can still play offline games on a PS3 or Xbox 360
@volvo09 I just got my OG Xbox out of my dad's storage shed back in July when I was there for his birthday. I hadn't seen that thing since I was probably.. 15 or so. Im almost 35 now lol. I popped NFS:HP2 and it booted right tf up. Still got all my old Fable save data and everything!
That was czy I would expect for a company that big like microsoft a Warning to not try and do that bc it might potentially brake the console, what a video!
Before watching the video my prediction is that you can physically install it, but it won't recognize games because the drive pairing needs a drive-specific key written into the consoles keyvault in order to decrypt the disc. Edit: OK, after watching the video I see it just crashed - by guess is that when the drive was detected the system tried to read the drive key out of the keyvault, and then panicked and crashed when it couldn't find it.
Good effort though 😊 Are you even allow to replace an optical drive in the regular XBX? I remember when doing JTAG mods etc on the 360 that optical drives were linked to the main board. Quite a pain 😅
Unfortunately not - you can swap the drive mechanics, but you have to use the PCB out of the original drive. If the original board is bad but the PCB revisions are the same you can try swapping the main control MCU assuming that's not the faulty part.
Really interesting experiment. It seems most bits of expensive tech are made so that you can't swap or change sections because serials for each part are programmed in when manufactured. Tinkering days for Joe Average are over - sad.
please make a video of how to install NVMe M.2 drive in the Xbox One X because it looks like on the motherboard of the Xbox One X there is NVMe M.2 slot that has been removed
@@drfdfdfdffaeExactly! but I believe that it will work and the Xbox One X is the first console to have an NVMe M.2 drive, for the reason Microsoft Xbox not using it, is pointless because if the Xbox One X was released with an NVMe M.2 500GB M.2 over the 1TB HDD, it will make the Xbox One X one of the most profitable console in the world
I was just watching your Xbox One S digital for the same reason as I have a working digital and a surplus blown motherboard disc One S and then this video also came up... damn MS and their married components so the digital is gonna stay "en flute" and I will have to find a motherboard for the surplus one and marry that to the good disc drive I have (I have done all my OG Xbox Ones with new stuff so a couple of screws and couple solder points is not difficult lol)(I got one of them USB C soldering irons today and beginning to wonder why I haven't done that before, super cool and very easy to use just hook up at a nearby power point with a USB C brick and means I don't have to keep lugging my various stations and rework stuff out into where the repair needs to be done :) )
these little projects are what make watching these videos so entertaining and informational at the same time.

Yeah disc drives are married to motherboards for both Xboxes and PlayStations afaik

Unfortunately not - you can swap the drive mechanics, but you have to use the PCB out of the original drive. If the original board is bad but the PCB revisions are the same you can try swapping the main control MCU assuming that's not the faulty part.
Hello Brother!
I have a doubt, can I bypass disc drive errors on an Xbox One S to run it as an all digital one?
Really interesting experiment. It seems most bits of expensive tech are made so that you can't swap or change sections because serials for each part are programmed in when manufactured. Tinkering days for Joe Average are over - sad.
Wow. What a wild ride 😅
please make a video of how to install NVMe M.2 drive in the Xbox One X because it looks like on the motherboard of the Xbox One X there is NVMe M.2 slot that has been removed
Yeah I notice that in other videos that people have recorded or photos and I couldn't really find any answer if it would work or not
@@drfdfdfdffaeExactly! but I believe that it will work and the Xbox One X is the first console to have an NVMe M.2 drive, for the reason Microsoft Xbox not using it, is pointless because if the Xbox One X was released with an NVMe M.2 500GB M.2 over the 1TB HDD, it will make the Xbox One X one of the most profitable console in the world
These one video, install NVMe M.2, but it ignores memory card
I was just watching your Xbox One S digital for the same reason as I have a working digital and a surplus blown motherboard disc One S and then this video also came up... damn MS and their married components so the digital is gonna stay "en flute" and I will have to find a motherboard for the surplus one and marry that to the good disc drive I have (I have done all my OG Xbox Ones with new stuff so a couple of screws and couple solder points is not difficult lol)(I got one of them USB C soldering irons today and beginning to wonder why I haven't done that before, super cool and very easy to use just hook up at a nearby power point with a USB C brick and means I don't have to keep lugging my various stations and rework stuff out into where the repair needs to be done :) )
Could it be software that limits functionality? Since you got all the components right.
I thinkimg it could be an anti-piracy measure. But for that it should have at least turned on to make a hardware check.
You need an app to set up an Xbox?
It not only said nay, it said HELL nay.
Aren't the drives paired to the console anyway so it wouldn't have worked regardless?
you locks now better,very nice.
I know it won't work, but gonna watch anyway
