Restoring the Original Xbox - Retro Console Restoration & Repair

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!

Anyone else trying to figure out what made this so heavy

У меня такой-же был Xbox original

🎉

The Xbox cannot turn on or insert or remove disc

My original xbox just broke and I threw it away before I discovered this video. Thought there was no way to repair it. Although there was no way I was gonna get all these tool and be able to repair this myself 😂

I opened my Xbox up and it was rusted out, yet still worked. Well for the most part, the laser needs to be replaced. But I cant find replacement parts for these things. Mine is a Thomson 600

Thank you so much 😊

I have one of these thats been in storage for years. I know your info says no repairs but I think it would be excellent content for your channel. I opened it up recently and tried to clean it good like you did but its 10x dirtier. I'll pay you and you get content. I can send pics if you like

Get a softer toothbrush man, it kills me to see such a hard-bristled toothbrush scrape over these gorgeous circuit boards

Did you repair the motherboard when the Xbox was flashing ? Orange or red ?

i have 2 xboxes that need restoring, one is crystal white and other one is normal black with modchip... it would be nice if there was parts list needed or some kinda kit we could purchase to rebuild and replace motherboard capacitors

Welp if ima be honest i kinda started collecting Xbox’s i am in serious credit card debt. No but for real lol i have the original Xbox with box and two controllers and all cables. I have original paperwork still sealed. I have a halo 3 xbox 360 and a Star wars xbox 360 Slim also. Idk why im collecting things but i just am. I just loved playing jaws unleashed back in the day 😩 and literally every halo, gears of war games. Just everything

Just watchin this while installing a game on my series X :)

This helped me out a lot. Thank you very much :)

meanwhile DKoldies wipes the exterior and sees the power LED turn on, sells it at double the market price as "refurbished"

I was able to remove the thermal paste better with thinner than with IPA.
