Luckiest Goodwill find I've had yet! (lemmy.world)

Was doing some looking around Goodwill and was lucky enough to find an Original Xbox for only $25! Got it home and cleaned him up, disc drive didn't work at first but I tinkered and fixed the belt that was getting stuck. Booted up an old copy of Halo 2 and all was well. So happy with this find!

Woah, nice! I should check into my local Goodwill sometime. Great restoration tale. :)

Remember to check the health of the capacitor they used as a cmos battery!

[–] KotActually@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not actually sure how to check that! Any tips?

If I remember correctly I watched this video , try searching "xbox capacitor replacement" on youtube!
