So, what can I do with it?
Can I install a new HDD/SSD while using the modchip?
Can I install games and homebrew on the HDD and play them?
Can I install a custom dashboard on it?
An old friend of mine who played only a bit of Xbox back in the day decided to give me his OG Xbox around 10 years ago since it is taking up a lot of space and he no longer wants to use it.
The Xbox has a modchip sticking out of the case. If I turn the mod's switch on and then power the console the logo would say something like "xecuter 2" but the dashboard seems completely normal. There is also other switches on the modchip something like "bank1" and "bank2".
It seems like it can read discs fine. I do plan to open it up and try to remove the clock capacitor if it has one, give it a clean, replace the thermal paste, and replace the fan. I have already ordered a replacement fan and it should arrive at the end of this month.
