Let's Upgrade an Original Xbox! - TSOP Flash & Clock Capacitor Removal - Part 1
1,669I decided to take a crack at this original Xbox console I had sitting here and get it up to speed! What we have here is 1.2 revision of the Xbox that has already been softmodded prior to me turning on the camera. Softmods are great and convenient but... With just a bit more effort we can do so much more! What I did in this video was take the console apart, clean it up, enable write access to the TSOP/BIOS, remove the leaky clock capacitor, and flash a custom BIOS to the motherboard.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Well... Later. My plans for this console aren't finalized yet because of a snag with the upgraded parts I ordered, but fear not - there will be a part 2! I split this up as there was a bit of a wait between the recording sessions, and this might be a good way to chronicle the upgrade journey.
