    As with everyone else, I would advise starting with replacing the capacitors on the motherboard. A majority of them look quite swollen. And when that happens, their electrical filtering that they do is below par with what the circuits require. There are tons of videos about what they do. And one of them is to filter jagged electrical flow going in and smoothing them out. That would explain the video issue and lack of RROD.

    Most likely seems like it's related to AV cables/port. Try another cable (sure you have) or check/clean the port. I've have this before with a system and it was a dirty port making bad contact but could be a few things.

    • @tobiaswehner6836
      @tobiaswehner6836 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yeah that could be the case too, but it's probably the gpu by removing the heatsink, it got more loose. Probably dislocated before it because it got too hot and removing the heatsink and clamp it gave it the killing blow

    • @jrob0021
      @jrob0021  ปีที่แล้ว +16

      AV port was my first thought, but it seems to me that the AV port being the issue is unlikely. The port looks good, pins look good, traces look good, the port has been cleaned out, and I have a bunch of different AV cables I've tried. And it seems odd that the AV port would stop working just from taking the console apart (since taking the console apart puts very little stress on the AV port - where as taking the console apart puts plenty of stress on the CPU and GPU since you have to remove the x clamps). The port had no issues before I took the console apart. I've never worked on a 360 with a bad AV port, so I could very well be wrong here, but it just seems unlikely to me that the AV port would be the issue

    For your issue at the end, have you tried a different AV cable? Would also make sure that the AV port is free of major dust or dirt as well. Also, I had a similar issue like this back in the day where my launch-model 360 power supply was plugged into the same outlet that my LCD TV was plugged into, and there wasn't enough voltage on the circuit to provide adequate power to the console. Those early 360 power supplies are absolute tanks in terms of power consumption, so maybe try a different outlet as well. I know what you're thinking "it was working off of this outlet before I opened up the console" Yep, my 360 was working for months off of the same outlet as my TV as well until one random day that it just wasn't working anymore and it was all determined to be a power consumption issue with other devices on the same circuit.
    Also, I wish they would have given 360 users the option to switch back to previous versions of the UI. Not necessarily downgrading the consoles software version, but just having the ability to swap between dashboards at your own leisure. It's just a user interface. Even if they added other blades TO the blades dash to accommodate the rest of the crap they added over the years, then at least you could still use the blades dashboard. Same with NXe as well...

    This specific model - and this is said in the video - is a launch console. It was sold the day after the system started selling. It has no text on the flat space above the power connector, and a few of the text layouts are different, but mainly the same. So, what I can assume is either not all the text was printed and so they were getting so many sales that they needed a quick sell, and probably sold this one, or it was a prototype that slipped through the cracks. That is unlikely because if it were a prototype, there would be differences in the production quality, most likely a bunch of 3D Printed pieces, though that wouldn't explain the fatter power symbol.

    I’d recommend either sending it to someone I know who actually retrofits 80nm gpus that are reliable onto the xenon boards, idk if he offers it as a service but you can ask and see if he’s willing to do it

    I definitely did love the blades dashboard. I lived in Harrisonburg VA going to JMU and my roommate in 06/07 had the blades. I had my first personal xb360 in early 08 and I think it had blades but I absolutely remember navigating that UI.

    It happened to me a few months ago with a 360 Slim. Bought it for cheap, still had guarantee stickers. Tried it, worked but it was super dirty.
    After a good clean and change thermal paste it had a glitch on screen (like little grey squares), everything I read says that it needs reballing, what a shame.

    I just had this happen with a Xenon motherboard. it turns out when you remove the X-clamps you tend to make it so the GPU is pushed around in different ways and even the smallest uneven amount of pressure can cause a solder ball that has already been weakened to crack. I work at a Retro console shop. I took the system apart again to look at my job and didn't see anything wrong so I put it back together again and it had a red ring (error code 0110) so I tore it back down and reflowed the GPU and left it to cool overnight. the next morning I came back into work, put it back together and plugged it in and it was working again. I played 4 movies in a row and it didn't have any problems. but I was to scared to actually stress the GPU by playing games. Id recommend that you give it a good reflow and don't try any gaming on it if you want it to last.

    You have unlocked a new mode of the Xbox 360: Green Mode! This is where the whole screen uses only shades of green (and thus is limited to 256 colors), so you can experience the Xbox 360 in a way that you have never experienced before.

    I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the AV port I get the same issue with my Slim with the HDMI port, I usually wiggle it around a bit and or reseat it and it works perfectly fine after. I have had a couple 360's graphics go bad and it always has blotches on the screen and freezes a lot and evenly turns off and gives you the red ring. Hope this helps :)

    I would consider recapping the board because by the looks of it almost every single capacitor is bulging/swollen and look like they are all on there last legs and about leak in a few minutes or days cause how bad they look capacitors can also create this problem as well when they go bad

    Try another AV cable and check for cold (broken) solder joints around the AV port. I'd be surprised if it's actually the GPU that's the problem there.

    more than half of those capacitors are swollen
    probably not related necesarily but i'd replace all of them and give it another shot
    also keep in mind, there are Atari 2600 consoles that are still working with the default capacitors or motherboards from the 90s with no capacitor issue, yet a 2005 console has this happen. Talk about cutting corners.

Secondly put the newer style heatsink on ( the one with the heat pipe ). Then soldered an 120MM fan directly to the that heatsink blowing heat away . Finally removed the crap OEM exhaust fan and replaced it with a full 12v fan the fan is on 100% nearly all the time regardless of temps. Still alive in 2023 but time will tell

    Love your videos Jacob. You take a chance on buying some of these so we can see how it turns out. As an Xbox Series X user now I still have nostalgia for the OG Xbox 360 and I'm thinking about buying one again along with an OG Xbox. I do remember how excited I was to get my 360 and had to queue up (remember that) for the the night for the midnight launch. The 360 core package was all they had in my local Gamestop and I had to buy an external HDD for it. I also bought Perfect Dark which funnily enough I'm playing now on Xbox Series as part of Game Pass.

    • @FintanMoloney

      Actually thinking of the 360 I had to get mine replaced twice by Microsoft due to the Red Ring of Death. It must have cost them a fortune replacing all of them as they would send UPS to come and pick up the faulty console and then UPS would deliver a new one a week or so later. I'm thinking if I buy a 360 now it would be best to get the slim model as it would be less likely to fail.
