Restoring the Original Xbox - Retro Console Restoration & Repair

About this video

The original Xbox in this restoration has a stuck disc drive and a clock that loses the date when unplugged, plus years of dust to clear out.

Good to know: Mains voltage inside the power supply, and capacitors that stay charged after unplugging. Never look into a powered laser.

Why watch it

Both faults are common Xbox problems by the maker's account, so an owner with a stuck drive or a clock that forgets the date may meet the same pair here.
