Very cool! If open that system up and try to identify the revision, if its not a 1.6 cut out the clock cap and clean the area with ipa. If you want to try going the softmod route, take a look at this tool github.com/Rocky5/Xbox-Softmodding-Tool (eg guide www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW6QsGXTrFQ)

Thanks so much. I will definitely be doing this when I can.

I wish there was an active OG Xbox community on Lemmy. The subreddit helped me get through my journey of doing a hardmod (TSOP flash) on my 1.0 version; I had an unfortunate disk drive failure at the EXACT wrong time (after the softmod), and it made things a LOT more complicated lol. But I also learned wayyy more than I anticipated, and have flashed 3 more since then without any issue (except for finding a roach infestation inside one of the cases, but I still salvaged the hardware and flashed it)
But regardless, you can message me too with any questions. I’ve never installed a chip to hardmod, but I can TSOP flash the hell outta them now. And if you’re able to hardmod, I highly suggest it mainly because of how much more stable it becomes

Man you’re so helpful I really appreciate it. I’m definitely intimidated by the steps to Tsop but soft modding looks incredibly easy.
