1.6 Xbox clock cap missing

Hey everyone I have a 1.6 Xbox that is mint case wise but the clock cap is missing and it will power on but not boot, is it because of the cap missing or something else and if it’s the cap what can I replace it with? I do have some caps on my but they would not be the same as what was in there I am sure

 

Correction, thought 1.6 didn't have a clock cap

 

Yeah, V1.6 xboxes need that cap and won't boot without it. The original part used was a Nichicon 1.0F 2.5V EDLC - they are not known for leaking and should not require replacement.

In theory, you could replace it with one of the 1.0F 2.5V Cooper Bussman PowerStor caps used on the earlier models and the console should work - but I would recommend only doing this for testing purposes and not for permanent installation due to the well-known tendency of those caps to leak.

This part should be a good replacement - it's rated at 2.7V rather than 2.5V, but that's not a problem.

would this work? if i order from mouser the shipping will be way to much for just one https://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-1F-2...47675.m570.l1312.R1.TR10.TRC1.A0.H0.X1f+.TRS1

 

I can't see any reason it shouldn't work, and Elna have a good reputation.

 

Is the clock capacitor still required with a hardmodded 1.6?

 

Yes - the machine won't boot at all if it's missing. Note that if you have one of the Nichicon caps there is no reason to replace it anyway.

 

tl;dr:
1.0 - 1.5 Xbox: remove the clock cap (replace if you wish).
1.6 Xbox: leave the cap.

 

just wanted to post a quick update, i replaced the cap and put in a aladdin x2 modchip and everything is good to go just waiting on my 80pin ide cable to come in and i will upgrade the hdd to a 1tb drive and then the console will be donated, thanks for all your help!
