       Just saved an original Xbox from rotting away...Hooray for the capacitor plague of the early 2000's, and see you later clock capacitor :ablobcatcoffee:

       @gregandcin Thanks, the clock capacitor isn't as important as most of the other capacitors on the Xbox, but there are a few others (around the CPU) that on later models of the Xbox were cost cut with 2 capacitors (of presumably different spec) put on the board instead of the the 1st revision's 4, and those newer ones can leak pretty bad too. Not sure if they're gonna do that here, but I'll look into that...I have included a picture of the caps I'm referring to.

       @Linux_in_a_Bit my personal Xbox is a 1.0. I do want to replace all the capacitors just to keep it alive for longer, I don't trust many of the caps from this era lol. Already have it hard modded with an OpenXenium chip as well, so my saves and such are safe if the box ever does off itself lol

       @Linux_in_a_Bit I'd make a keychain of the capacitor and keep it close to my tools :3
