How to Remove an Original Xbox Clock Capacitor (v1.0 - 1.5)
Xbox consoles ranging from motherboard revisions 1.0 - 1.5 are known to have a clock capacitor which can blow and leak out onto the motherboard, potentially causing damage to the rest of your components. This was corrected in the 1.6 variant of the Xbox, but prior to that it's all a matter of when your clock capacitor will blow, not if it will blow! This tutorial serves as a guide to show you which capacitor is the problematic one and how to remove it. You can replace it with a new capacitor if you so wish to, however users rarely feel the need to do that. The only side effect of this removal on a stock Xbox is that the clock will need to be set on boot every single time you unplug the console from a power source. If you have a softmodded console, ensure your softmod install is one that sets the time automatically to a specific date on boot!
The method I use for removal is a soldering iron, in which I heat up the two points on the bottom of the motherboard for the capacitor while wiggling it out of place. This is the method I personally use, however you could also CAREFULLY wiggle the capacitor back and forth from the top of the board until it comes off. Either method, I highly recommend cleaning up your work afterwards to clean up any spills or leaks from the capacitor.
