    This has to be the worst combo of consoles I've come across in quite a while 😭 Check out Rocket Money for free! rocketmoney.com/jacobr

    The profile names on the red xbox 360 are models of a car. Mitsubishi Evolution (Evo) 9th generation, GSR is the trim level. FQ400 is once again an Evolution model, 9th generation, JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) Evolution 10th generation. That's for the first three profiles
  • @ImadHadjersi
    Those bunch of letters are car names from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution family

    Hey Jacob, don’t forget there’s some of them capacitors under the gpu heat sink, they may or may not be popped but when you replace the thermal paste check under the gpu heat sink. Also a tip for replacing those capacitors, either get low melt solder or preheat the board cause those caps aren’t easy to replace with just a soldering iron and solder imo.

    My very first experience with a 360 was with a friend who got one a day or two ahead of launch because he won a sweepstakes. It caught fire before launch day. Sufficed to say I waitied for the slim before I bought one.
  • @Notpoop906
    I think you hit the nail on the head. The resell value for Wiis has been so low for so many years now that a lot of consoles get passed around from owner to owner and being super cheap it's not really that unusual for someone to buy one for 20 bucks off a friend or get given one by a family member, they fire it up and play with it once then forget about it. I know for sure I've bought old consoles and done exactly that. And also my family has been given things like 3Ds from cousins that they didn't use.
  • @YorkieKilla
    About the Wii disc drives. You could salvage parts off some of the broken ones and use them to fix up any that are not running smoothly.
  • @hellosammie8972
    Man your quality has gotten much more improved in the past years!
  • @ibapreppie
    You could jailbreak the PS3's that have broken disc drives and sell them as Jailbroken. I would buy a console with a jailbreak already pre-installed, and Im sure there's quite a few people out there that would as well.

    this happened to a chromebook at my school once, entire building was evacuated lmao
  • @GFL_Tech
    Those caps have seen better days! 😂 and magic smoke in one video! Damn...
  • @Heretic_real
    Found this channel in my recommended, been binge watching and learning about consoles through this really cool, I had like 5 Xbox 360’s growing up and didn’t know about the different motherboards until today
  • @SkiBumMSP
    With all those popped caps, I wonder if that first XBox console got hit with lightening or some such. Surprised that thing even booted up and able to run a game!
  • @topchief1
    Note to self: don't trust Goodwill
  • @kzed
    EVO9GSR is referencing the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 GSR, and I think FQ400EBIX is referncing the Lancer Evo X FQ400
  • @MultiCarter007
    This dashboard is actual kinect dash. I started to have xbox 360 from Jasper revision, was on NXE and strongly remember day when I bought kinect with adapter and had to update to this dashboard in order to use kinect. It may not be the first kinect one by version numbers but definitely the first one in terms of design which had support of Kinect.
  • @MichaelJimenez10
    I’m super shocked you received that red Jasper board 360 with Sanyo caps manufactured in 2009. They are known for failing, I’ve seen so many 360’s with those caps fail prematurely but only seen them on 2008 models. Had a Jasper arcade on blades with them with the same issue minus the smoking.
  • @digipimp75
    Ahh the ol' 0102 error on the 360. Brings back memories of when I used to reflow these as a service. Of course it only lasted a few months at most, so yeah not worth even fixing it.
  • @californiafox3974
    The first Xbox 360 Elite is a late Falcon and if that motherboard red rings, 9 times out of 10 it’s the caps. It’s pretty reliable chip wise. And that RE edition 360’s capacitor hissed, it reminded me when a beat up Xenon did that too me, got the caps fixed, then to find out the GPU was done, probably was sitting in a garage for a long time.
