Original Xbox error 16 message! Need Help!?

[Bazinga1307]

Hey I'm hoping you can help me cause anything I find isnt for a hard modded xbox, so basically what the issue is i got 2 original xboxs ( one with mod chip other is stock) and the one with the mod chip is showing the error 16 anything you can suggest

Error 16 means the dash can't set the clock.
This could be softmod related as older softmods had a clock loop bug.

Try wiping the HDD of the chipped one with Slayers and install a fresh modded C drive.

Do I have to have anything special to do so or just create a slayers disc

Like that controller port to USB or should I be good without it

Google for "Xbox Slayers CD", burn it to a CD and pop it in the drive.

I must ask you tho, have you removed the clock caps? (if you have a 1.0-1.5 console, it's best to remove the clock caps as they will leak and destroy your motherboard)

A bit off-topic, but this should absolutely be an original Xbox owner's top priority, those caps are ticking time-bombs.

I am unsure I got it with the chip already in and I dont have a torque wrench to open it up and awesome much appreciated

 

[DinohScene]

I suggest opening it up and removing it.
If the caps already leaked, I'd advise you to clean it with isopropyl alcohol.
The acid will eventually eat away at the traces and cause all sorts of weird malfunctions.

O ok how do I know what they look like and how should I go about removing them
