Hi, to the OG XBox Runners (this doesn't affect X360 runners), remove your clock capacitor.
It's a capacitor that is famous for leaking on the XBox Revisions 1.0-1.5 (the cc of 1.6 can't be removed and doesn't leak tho 1.6 sucks because of video encoder)
Identify your xbox revision: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=367210&seqNum=2 if its a 1.0-1.5 it has to removed, because it can and WILL leak.
What does happend when it leak? The capacitor leaks ACID that kills the board, and you can basically throw it in the trash because it can't be repaired.
A good guide to remove the clock capacitor:
Cheers, Chris.
