Restoring the Original Xbox - Retro Console Restoration & Repair

- Restoring the original Xbox. In this episode I will restore this old Xbox. The console is very dusty and it has some problems, but nothing beyond restoration. The disc drive is stuck and it won't save the time and date if it's unplugged. Both are common problems with the Xbox and pretty easy to repair. This unit has been unused for along time and it also needs to be cleaned from all the dust on the inside and outside. I wanted to publish this episode right before Christmas have got this gaming console for Christmas almost 20 years ago.
I wanted to keep the stickers at the bottom intact so I used isopropyl alcohol to soften the glue. This allowed me to lift the sticker with a sharp blade without ruining it. Fun fact: the bottom says opening the console will void the warranty. Of course the warranty is over but eve if the console was new it wouldn't. The FTC has deemed warranty stickers illegal in the US with some exceptions. Nevertheless, it was fun to try to get in unnoticed.
The disassembly was pretty straightforward. A few screws here and there and a ton of cables to wiggle free. After everything was out of the body I opened the disc drive. I didn't see any tutorials for this type of drive. so I had to figure that out myself. Microsoft used different drives in different versions of the original Xbox. The disc drive is stuck for one of two reasons. Either the rubber band is too stretched and it slips of there is too much dust. I shrunk the band by boiling it for a minute or two. I blew all the dust off and whatever was left was cleaned off with isopropyl alcohol.
I also wanted to replace the condensator which is used to keep the time and date if the xbox is unplugged. Condensator is basically a small battery.. Microsoft used cheap condensator for this and they start leaking eventually. Condensator contains acid which causes corrosion and might ruin the motherboard so I had to remove the condensator anyways. I replaced it with similar but different looking condensator. Only in v1.6 xbox the condensator won't start leaking. The corrosion was removed by washing the board with isopropyl alcohol.
On the board there was also heat sink to cool the CPU and GPU. Between heat sink and the board there is always thermal past or thermal pad that is used to transfer heat. If there is air gaps the heat wont transfer efficiently enough. Also if the thermal paste dries, that can cause overheating so I replaced the paste. It's important to clean the old paste. A small drop of paste in the middle of the CPU is the best way to apply it. Some people draw X or something else silly but that might cause air bubbles. A simple drop is the best based on my research.

Hello everyone! Next week it's Christmas so I wanted to wish you all merry Christmas (just merry normal day,if you don't celebrate Christmas). I hope you get as awesome presents as this Xbox was 18 years ago!
This is like tech asmr lol
12:39 look how corroded it is
BRUSHING INTENSIFIES
Merry Brexmas to You too
I agree with @hello :p
I love your work so happy holidays
The fact that this is considered “retro” now makes me feel ancient.
I still use mine to this day so I consider it modern 😉
C-ball Helmet no, it will be ‘’retro’’ in approximately 2 years
C-ball Helmet so don’t worry 😀😀😀
We are.
It's not that you (or me) are old, it's the fact that the term "Retro" is applied to things that are not so old these days much like the term "Rare"...
“Now, what did you learn, kids?”
“That isopropyl alchohol is the most useful thing in the world!”
"yes that's right Billy"
never drink it, kids.
@@Tipi_ your saying that like you’ve tried it...
and its in your hand sanitizer.
Along with WD-40
Watching him clean the top of the Xbox and being annoyed by it is such a mood. I remember having so much annoyance with maintaining it to be clean
I remember fixing my older brother's Xbox when I was a kid. Can't believe it was 18 years ago. Stuff like that was a lot simpler then lol
Life was simpler it seems.
This doesn't seem simple at all however, it's becoming increasingly difficult to repair new items nowadays
If this guy ever decided to do a jumpscare my soul would leave my body
just watching him gently unscrewing stuff and then an image of a horror game character with really loud screaming. #1 scariest thing ever. pls no. if he reads this i fear for the next one
liking this so he may read it
YOUSUF SIDDIQ SYED Same, lol.
@@dadocta8355 😂
I would die
I love how he played like 3 or 4 Halo missions, probably enjoyed himself a lot and remember that he had to put some footage of him playing to show that the restoration worked
Yeah, The Arbiter is the 6th mission of Halo 2. He was definitely having fun.
@@Spewa-em8cm Technically the 4th since "The Heretic" is a cutscene and "The Armory" is just a tutorial for how to move.
@@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060 You're right, they still counts them as levels though.
@@Spewa-em8cm True. Kinda silly.
Halo 4 is in Xbox 360
Wow this takes me back. I got one of these in 2004 and played it for years. I even got it modded with a chip and was able to play old Nintendo and PS games on it. It was pretty much a mini PC for it's time.
Woah that’s cool are you able to use the modded chip on other game consoles? It would be cool to play super Mario maker 2 on a PlayStation 4. (Even though I don’t have a ps4)
@@snakeproductions01 I doubt it, but once I got into PC gaming I got away from consoles. I'm sure there's hacks out there to do it though.
Funniest Quote of The Year 2021:
"Void my warranty? I don't think so Bill"
this was in 2019 though
BillG left Microsoft in 2020 and doesn't give a sh*t if you repair your old Xbox
I think there was some government decision on the label crap around the time this video was released . It's stupid legal mumbojumbo . The government should have went after Microsoft for all their lousy red-ring consoles . The 360 far outselling PS3 is misleading . Alot of their 360 consoles manufactured were REPLACEMENTS .

I love how when you were restoring the Gameboy you said I am not comfortable with electronics and now you took apart this Xbox so easily.
Yes. A lot of improvement has happened since then. But sometimes it's still nerve wracking to take these apart. I still have not fixed a phone and I have my first camera's body laying on the shelf unused because it's broken. I shot my first video on it so I will try to repair that for some special occasion
@@OddTinkering why not repair it for 1 million subscribers?
@@OddTinkering When having issues trying to look how to restore something, if you need help I normally google something or just watch another CZcamsr's video! I've torn apart so many laptops and tablets just by watching youtube!
This is equivalent to watching the scene where the toy collector in Toy Story cleans up woody. Same energy.
I think that was what originally made me interested in these types of videos. Very relaxing for me and I could watch him repair things for hours.
Asmr lol
I discovered this channel today but now i realize i've loved this my entire life
Yeah
why is this comment under all his videos
For some reason I always admire how well the IDE ribbon cable is folded to fit in the case. Love taking these apart.
This is my favorite CZcams channel. His videos so relaxing and he never put a anoying sound into It
Microsoft: Modifying this console will void the warranty.
This nameless person: I AM THE WARRANTY!
LMAO
I think the key of all his videos is:
Patience and a lot of Isopropyl.
@exxceeed and a lot of isopropyl.
*p.a.t.i.e.n.c.e*
There is also a side note, he forgot to put the screws back into the hard drive (attaching to the hard drive tray) and edited it out.
@@SpectraMoyai *a.n.d.a.l.o.t.o.f.i.s.o.p.r.o.p.y.l*

Ive fixed up a few old things myself and i know the joy that comes when you plug it in and everything works exactly how you intended
"Bill (Gates) will never know I was tinkering in there". I love this channel.
There's no doubt this man could restore the infinity gauntlet.
With a little help from a little friend IPA of course.
Nah they wouldn't have had to go back this guy woulda just fixed the stones
Too bad this is basically a staged channel lol

I've still got mine, and it still works. I even hooked it up last year with an adaptor to make it look halfway decent on a modern TV and played a few of my old games on it. A great console with some truly groundbreaking games that hold up well today. I'm glad Microsoft is pretty good (though certainly not perfect) about backwards compatibility, too, because I can play a lot of those old games on my Series X.
Mine is from 2001 launch and it failed.
Fortunately I found someone to repair it and now it runs like new. Glad they were able to save it.
How did you find somome to fix it? Craigslist? @onetwo6039
This guy gives me ASMR vibes everytime I watch him. Very informative on how to repair stuff. Detailed.
I love those moments when he *AGGRESSIVELY BRUSHES THE THING*
Hello
Howdy
This is like the part from Toy Story where the old guy is fixing woody, accept woody
is an Xbox from 2001 in this case.
Well the old guy was literally restoring Woody for him to be placed in a museum
That’s why I find these videos so relaxing! I didn’t put two and two together! Thanks!
Haha in this case ITS IB A CASE HAHA
I reject that Woody is an Xbox from 2001. I think that he cannot be described as any system except one made by Nintendo, Sega, Atari, or Coleco.
how different would the movie be if woody was just a game console lmao
When Bill sees that new capacitor he’ll know😂
Thank you so much for sharing this! Went through this entire process tonight and my Xbox is working SO WELL! Tray opens first time every time, no more continuously setting the clock after a power failure, and I have the reassurance of fresh thermal compound. Amazing AMAZING video!

@@essarajab9901 i love you
@@bahezg as a friend
I'm still fascinated by the complexity of these machines even though they're outdated
Off topic but your pfp is my fav dragon priest mask
Its because that think is a literal tank, was considered a gigant if you compared with other consoles of the time, and it allowed 1TB of memory if you know it how. The only problem the console had was the clock capacitor wich killed the console from inside, making imposible to repair if you waited too long, thanks to this video and a little help from 4chan I could repair my Xbox before it was 2 late. Anyways I have to full fixit because I didnt clean it at all and the disc driver still doing weird things, so I have to see how to full repair it anyways (Plus Im a monkey with a wrench and fucked some screws, aluminium and get rid of 4 screws and one of the aluminium of the lector because Im a fucking disaster. Anyways. It works again, almost proberly when I give it for dead. Remember. Change the clock or remove it. Depending of the version you just cant remove it so please, search guides and info. And dont be like me. Try to put everything where it have to be.
Because old technology tends to be complex and bulky while newer techs are made to be simpler and slimmer, in my opinion ps1 and ps2 machine layout is much more complicated than ps3 or ps4 ones, although the casing is harder to open in newer gen
@@kawabatayuri then again though, The PS5 is pretty huge compared to the OG Xbox
At first I was curious to watch this without volume, but the specific noises are too satisfying
This was the first console I played on. Got it for free from somewhere in 2006. Later we got a ps3 however because my friend had a ps2 and I liked his console more. Seeing this one being restored, brings some memories of having the console.

Cleaning all the gunk out and restoring hardware to day one status. You really have outdone yourself.
These videos are a good way to see the guts of hardware. How to clean them properly. Good stuff. Will wait to see more.
This console was my first, even so fitting how it was released on the same year as my birth.
To see it getting restored into its best condition, I thought of how beautiful it was since the last day I had mines.
Pc builders: "dont put to much paste on"
This guy: "so anyways, i started blasting"
@José Antonio He put a lot lol
he blasted more than frank reynolds himself
If you look at how much paste he put on the chip on the right @ 14:03 he put too much. That amount of paste will spread all the way out to the edges, yes, but when the heat sink gets really hot then the thermal paste expands even more, so this amount of paste will possibly be leaking onto the circuit board, which is dangerous considering how sensitive they are to damage.
@@BronzeBoxer_ It'll be fine. Thermal paste is non-conductive unless you specifically search for conductive TIM. Better to have a little too much than not enough.
@@BronzeBoxer_ this was debunked several years ago. You can apply a literal tube of thermal paste and it'll be no different. You will only run into issues if you use conductive pastes or liquids or straight up spew it directly into the socket, which could be pretty difficult to clean.
What I learned from the Vid:
Isopropyl alcohol makes everything come off...
xd that's right
Does it work on flex tape ?
Maybe isopropyl alcohol can make a cure for the covid
Try it with your pp
The reason for the use of isopropyl alcohol is because it is electronic friendly and can help with removing tough stickers and more
Love these videos. It's possible someone else commented on this but you you should clean the tip and tin the soldering iron bit before applying it to the joint you are working on.
I'm extremely appreciative of the content that you provide in your channel. Has me inspired to start my own restore projects.
Thanks Alot!

Will always love this console! I can't believe that all of Xbox was started by guys at Microsoft reassembling a computer to mess around with DirectX functionality.
Is that why it's called Xbox? Because of the DirectX functionality?
Please do tell more. Im curious to know
@@haddoxnh Hilarious enough, yeah it is! So the original concept for the Xbox was an silver 'X' shaped console that was named the "DirectX Box." Bill Gates, the board and some of the team members were like, "That's ridiculous, we need a better name and a nicer looking console." So they went back to work on the device and shortened the name to reflect the system it was running...and that's how Xbox came to be!
@@diazdante188 For sure! So a couple of engineers on the DirectX team wondered if they could build a sole gaming device to test their new software. It was merely out of curiosity and if I remember, I don't think they meant for it to become what it is today. Anyway, so they took a PC tower, disassembled it, and started playing around with component placement to see if they could make it more compact. (Also, if you notice from this video, the production Xboxs' used PC parts! Since Microsoft was still strictly software at the time, they didn't have a lot of proprietary hardware like they do now.) They got really invested in it and took it more seriously. Other teams and the board found out that it worked, and from there Microsoft decided that they wanted to move forward with selling the idea. The other cool thing is that this Xbox was the first American console to come out after Atari's last few releases.
@@iriemonmon That's sooo stinkin awesome! Thanks!

I knew windows wanted a game console built similar to their computers, but damn. They straight used regular computer parts in there.
Thats how electronics work dude.
@@god.mp4 but like, actual computer parts. An actual PC disk tray, not a prefab consumer electronic disk drive. There's a difference.
For instance, the playstations had a customized disk drive shape to fit in the specified case, and custom ribbon cables to the board. This Xbox has an off the shelf drive that windows would have had on hand for building PCs.
Windows clearly worked in reverse here. They got the parts first, and then worked on the console from there.
Literally, I was watching and thought to myself, "This literally is built like a computer". CPU and all
@@tammyreece2555 the story of the Xbox is basically "windows wants to do video games, but they already have this big pile of computer parts"
They wanted that PlayStation money, so they slapped together a console with computer parts.
They even wanted it to use windows so your console could also be a PC. There's an alternate timeline where Xbox was just an extension of PC
