Recently dug up my old 1.6 Xbox and drives from way back when and wanted to move the data to my PC for emulation/to have a backup. My main goal is to unlock the drive which seems feasible without the console, but my only IDE adapter doesn't like FatXplorer and I don't have a motherboard old enough to have IDE.
My memory may be hazy as its been 20yrs, but I vaguely recall chipping a 1.6 Xbox had a chance of blowing some component especially with that spider adapter which I know now was.... not great (think a fuse?). Only one I could find was on the PSU which is good continuity wise and sadly, most of the resources from back then are long gone. My symptoms are a firm no power (AC cord works fine on my 1.0 console) and the caps look fine far as I can tell (no leaks/bulges and even the clock cap looks good).
My question is does anyone remember reading this and which component it could be? Racking my brain as I remember as a kid it worked fine with a softmod up until I tried the solderless nonsense and spent an evening with my stepdad trying to fix it. So I know my install did "something", but it has been buried in a box for so long I can't remember for the life of me.
Also apologies in advance for the bad prefix. I know this is primarily a PS forum but looked through a few Xbox threads and figured I'd try here and there was no suitable prefix besides "none" that gave an error.
