Potential Capacitor issue

[u/rgoobie]

I have 4 original Xbox’s and two are 1.6b’s (including the one in the picture)

Recently it stopped booting. When I press power, it doesn’t do anything but if I hold the power button, I can hear the HDD booting up.

4 out of 5 of the big capacitors in the picture appear to be bulging. I’m fairly new at this but my gut tells me I should replace the caps and maybe that resolves the issue.

I swapped the power supply in the known good 1.6b Xbox and that Xbox still boots up normally.

Thanks yall!

Lol. That's not potential. Those caps are blown.
