EXTREME Dumpster-Dive Xbox Find - Restored(ish)

Restorish 14 min Published Apr 2025

About this video

An Xbox bought online with a story of a dumpster rescue will not power up, so the maker sets out to see if a thorough clean is all it needs.

Good to know: Mains voltage inside the power supply, and capacitors stay charged after unplugging. Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and needs ventilation.

Why watch it

Only the seller's word puts this Xbox in a dumpster. It will not turn on, and the maker wonders whether dirt alone is behind it.
