Replacing Xbox 360 capacitors.

Ah Evox & XBMC how I missed you in my living room.

Liquid epoxy ftw :)

Re soldering a poorly placed resistor that broke off to a broken circuit trace on a old xbox hard drive.

Can never have enough spare/test hard drives...Ok maybe i have too many. Most are decent sizes unlike the 1.2GB on the top.

Modding up another Xbox for XBMC use. Used my old spare Xecuter 2 Lite I had lying around from an upgrade on another system.

Works good, I've had it about a year or so & sadly oled screens burn in fairly quickly.But at least it's bright enough to see now.

After the repair. :)

My homemade paperclip tweezers, I've used this on more than a few occasions.

Dim screen before shorting the resistor.

Just saved a 2gb mp4 video watch, Screen was not bright enough to use in the daytime, Used paperclip tweezers. Kept probing/shorting surface mount resistors until I got lucky & found the one for the oled screens brightness, Shorted it with a drop of solde

I'm not really sure what's happening in this picture.

I thought I could find a pcb or adapter for sata cable 2 sata cable. Couldn't so I'm getting another cable with a sata jack to replace the one going to the drive.

Yes, I took the quick & easy method. I might neaten it up a bit later on.
