This 1.6 console came for a CPU recap and the installation of a XRT-C mod (which includes the rebuilt of LPC port). The customer also sent an OpenXenium from LonWay Technologies. I also agreed with the customer to configure the stock HDD with UIX-Lite.
The console did not boot when received and tested. Upon disassembly (the console had been opened before as the label was broken where the screws are located), it was obvious that the CPU caps had leaked and that was probably the reason for the console not to boot. Apart from that, the condition of the console was good, with no visible rust on the shield or any other visible problems. There was however a lot of dust and spider webs, which were cleaned before doing any work.
The CPU caps were replaced and the console did then boot fine. The DVD drive was tested for completion, and was found working but somewhat struggling. It is recommended that the drive is opened and serviced to extend its lifetime.
The XRT-C mod was then installed, including the pin header. The battery was located on top of the motherboard for easy access. The 1.6 pads in the OpenXenium modchip were bridged, and the console booted into PrometheOS, which was configured for RTC use and the time set. The console was disconnected from power for at least 30 mins and it was confirmed that the time persisted in the next boot.
Finally the HDD was unlocked, and the patch files for UIX-Lite were installed using FatXplorer. Console was then rebooted and tested that the new dashboard was working. To transfer games and other applications, either take the HDD out and use a USB adapter into a PC with FatXplorer, or start UIX Utilities (within the Launcher menu in the Xbox dashboard) with an ethernet cable connected, and then use an FTP client such as FileZila to connect to the Xbox and transfer files in that way.
