Every Original Xbox is now old enough that its electrolytic capacitors are past their design life, and a recap is the single most useful thing you can do to keep a board alive. This set covers one console, matched to your board revision.
Read this first: the clock capacitor is not in this set. The infamous Xbox clock capacitor is the separate barrel cap that keeps the system clock running while the console is unplugged, and it is the one that leaks, eats through nearby traces and kills boards. It is not included here, and that is intentional: the accepted fix in the modding scene is to remove it entirely and never replace it. You lose nothing but the clock remembering the time while unplugged. If you searched for “xbox clock capacitor”, what you need to do is desolder it, clean the residue and check the traces underneath — not buy a new one.
What's in the box
- 1x complete set of motherboard capacitors for the selected revision
- No clock capacitor
Installation
Difficulty: Advanced. This is a soldering job on a multi-layer board with large ground planes. You need a temperature-controlled iron (60 W+ or hot tweezers), desoldering braid, flux and isopropyl alcohol. Budget 1–2 hours if you have recapped before. Work one capacitor at a time and respect polarity — the stripe marks the negative leg.
