  1. 30:42 I noticed that there is an xbox live account still on this xbox meaning it’s either left over from before 2010 or It has Insignia on it. If you have not sold this one yet I’d suggest checking.

  2. I am just seeing this after a long shift, and for some reason at 6:43 I genuinely thought for a split second that he had the controller in one hand and a Gun in his right. I was so confused LOL great video btw

  3. The fan connector coming from your hard drive is a constant 12v mod, the connector on the motherboards start at 6v and ramps up to 12v max as needed for temperature control. It's possible that the console was having overheating issues and the last owner needed higher fan speeds, or the previous owner was a tinkerr / had it soft modded at one point. Another sign that the previous owner was trying to get the temperature down is the Southbridge MCPX Chip has a heatsink installed.

  4. So looks like since the fan was connected to the hard drive power line it was pulling a lot more voltage causing it to run at max speed which is why it was "loud". Similar to what gamestop did on the phat Xbox 360s.

  5. The 1.0 console with the one bolged cap, Most likely the TSOP is toast.
    You‘ll need to desolder the LPC port to get a pinheader into it to place a modchip onto. D0 to ground to get the mainboard boot from the chip and you are good to go (:
