I do believe you're correct. I think I nicked that cable when poking around for a clip. As for those jumpers, I've got some resistors on the way from China, so we'll see it back on the operating table again in the future. I definitely agree with not doing that as a long term solution though - it's somewhat akin to replacing a fuse with a nail.

Thanks for watching, and glad I could provide some (limited) help. There's a second video where I fix the warranty replacement vacuum that was sent out (and broke three months later... so, yeah, these are not great vacuums). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iaxpmtWdncXSkZs.html Not sure if I'd recommend the oil, as that may just end up getting all gummy once it starts incorporating itself with dirt. But, one thing I'd recommend checking is the condition of the mating surfaces on the roller. I had to end up filing down some bumps and nicks on the surface of that second vacuum for a similar reason iirc. Also, do a sanity check to make sure all hair is cleaned off, as it's easy to miss some on the end of the roller. Lastly, the default belt that comes with the vacuum does seem to be quite loose. I even ordered some replacements thinking it was worn out, but... yeah, those belts were also loose. If you have some heavy duty tape (this is not a permanent fix), you can try winding some around the roller so that the belt fits more snugly. If that eliminates the noise, you can try getting a belt that's maybe a few mm shorter? But, yeah, I got this vacuum for free and I feel ripped off... I hope this helps you though.

Exactly I Personally had one that red ringed on me after years

Thanks for watching! Glad I could provide some entertainment. :D And, I'm pretty sure this isn't the last time we'll see this 360 on the operating table...

Thanks for watching! Delidding did cross my mind, but then I remembered Vince's attempt to delid a PS3 hah. I'll definitely take a look at that video though, and may do a follow-up where I try my luck at it.

I don't have the sub here anymore, but go to ZJ695000's video (linked in this video's description) and drop him a line. I believe he works on them all the time, and might be able to help you out.

Thanks, and glad I could be of help! Also, the build quality of these vacuums seems quite sub-par. The replacement that Hoover sent out also acted up within 3 months...

Thanks! Also, here's a little "inside-baseball" trivia for this video. While I'd love to say that the "fork" thing was an intentional joke... in reality, I didn't even notice that my brain flubbed that until I had already finished editing the video and had uploaded it.

Good to know for the future, and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the info about the flash memory! May do a re-visit on this and try out my new (for me) 3D printer. And, yep, those clips are an absolute nightmare...

Thanks, and appreciate the support!

Thanks! :)

100% agreed. Though, you've gotta' admit, I did break way less tabs than most people would've predicted.

No problem, and thanks for watching!

100% agree. This vacuum is horrible. I got it for free, and still feel ripped off.

Thanks, and thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching, and definitely intend to get back to this one. Hopefully better news in the next re-visit!

How was your experience?

@@IRVERA23-po1uo I did an oscilloscope probe between 2 Xboxes; a known good power supply and the power supply in the bad Xbox. There was a noise difference between the two, indicating a possible bad power supply, however switching power supplies did not affect the error on my Xbox. Sadly the Xbox is now a parts piece, there's nothing else I can do. It's possible the power supply could have helped but I know the clock cap exploding did a number on the components around it

Thanks! Very much appreciated, and I hope it helps you out.

Thanks. I believe it was a 1.5" piece of tube, but am not sure of the exact type - these were offcuts that a friend passed to me.

@@DiscountSasquatch I took apart that entire brush head left and right sides and found a wad of long hair tightly wound around the spindles like a fishing reel!. The belt was ok, altho some of the drive wheel teeth were worn, I used a little bit of gaffer's tape (which has cloth-like surface). Put it all back and it works. Thx

Thank you!

Either can be used (from what I remember). However, silicone grease has a tendency to eat away at other parts made of silicone such as seals, belts, or wire insulation. (Not to say that all lithium greases are fine though - make sure they're not petroleum-based before applying them to plastic.)

Yeah they should also have periods where its darker and flashes bright when something exciting or action happens on screen.

Yep, in retrospect I should have added more than two fast-flashers (the camera didn't really pick those up very well too). But, if anyone wants to duplicate this cursed design, learn from my mistakes.

@@DiscountSasquatch I think there needs to be more coordination, even with fast flashers. Like you have a scene that runs for 2 to 10 seconds, in which you move the colors slowly, and then completely switch them over to new starting values, where you can have slow fading again. It's pretty much a job for a micro controller.

@graelex 100% agree with you. This was just really meant to be a small project that someone with little or no background in electronics can do. I might do a redemption arc though, and try out a version 2 with an Arduino.

Yep, this is not a good vacuum cleaner. The replacement one that they sent out broke the exact same way three months later...

Thanks for watching! Sounds like you might have one or more bad capacitors on the board. If you're comfortable working on it, open it up and take a look and see if you notice any obviously bulging/leaky capacitors. (Note that bad capacitors won't always do that though.) At the very least (and assuming you don't have a version 1.6 Xbox), you'll want to remove the supercapacitor before it does too much damage to the motherboard.

The good news is the xbox was basically a computer. Not too much different in structure. Power supply, motherboard, disk drive, harddrive.

Yep, the capacitors in power supplies can and will give you a nice shock if you're not careful. At 4:00 I'm checking the capacitors to see if they still have any juice left in them.

I've been trying to find a working laser for my sdg-605b that isn't coming from China because of the cargo ships being attacked

Genuine thanks for this - that's actually pretty helpful for when I muster up enough courage to try to open that thing again. Stay tuned for Part 3... sometime in the future...

@@DiscountSasquatch 👀 I believe in you! It'll be alive again soon!
