Falcon Capacitor C6U1 replacement

Console Type: Falcon
NAND size: 16
Dashboard version: 15574
CB version: 5774

Description of problem:

Can anyone tell me the dates of the Capacitor C6U1 on the Falcon motherboard. Its broken on this, I desoldered it already. The capacitor is the one that has to be soldered for the QSB post phat V2.

Additional info: Got the Xbox from a friend, he failed to install a R-JTAG and gave it to me to look over it, cuz i said i will spend some freetime for fun. I desoldered everything, flashed retail nanddump on it. Its was starting to dashboard regularly, but after few seconds with dashboard on screen it end up in ROD. Accidently he had some flux under the QSB and it cracked that capacitor.

Was the console working before you started: N

I'm linking you page 2 of a thread I've started with a similar prolem :capacitor(s) missing.

You can read through the whole thread if you feel for that, but best for you to do is replace it from an old (broken) motherboard. And I'm almost sure it won't even have to be a falcon motherboard you're taking the cap from...(read my link)

If you don't have a old motherboard Laying around, I wouldn't mind to Desolder this cap from a dead mobo I have and send it to you, but I'm currently 3 weeks in the states...so that wouldn't be one of the fastest solutions I think

Thx for reply.
I already thought that too and looked over a old Xenon board i have. But the Xenon board looks diffrent in that area, it has also the capacitor C6U1, but it is a bigger one and is located where the capacitor C6U2 on Falcon is. I will look out for an broken phat one on ebay.

where are you located?

if you remove the R6T3 resistor on the falcon, you can remove and use C7T98 cap in place of C6U1, they are exactly the same

Quite true. Both of them 1uf 16v.

On the Xenon you can look at C1U2, C9U3, C9T3, C9P4, C8N2, C1T6 or C3V1. All of them the same specs and package size.

let me know if you need one, i can get it for you (new or used, your choice).

EDIT: if you wanna get it yourself ifs a 1uF 10% tolerance, 16V rated 0603 sized cap.

great ty guys, i will try the one as socalbill said, but ill get that one (C7T98) from Xenon board.

ill give feedback when ive to time to test it, probably after next week.

@01DawG10
are u sure about the other capacitors from the points u listed, they are all one size bigger.

These (C2P51, C2P20, C2P39, C2P4, C3M1) are the same as C7T98, AND the same size :facepalm:

My apologies. I checked the package type and capacitance, not the package size (which should be 603 AND NOT 805 as in my previous post)..

C7T98 on a xenon board is a 50v cap, not 16v, but that shouldn't be a problem. I don't think any of the caps listed above by 01DawG10 are 16v either, but shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, all of them are 50v. I have replaced caps on graphics cards with higher voltage ones without problems, so I also doubt if this would have a negative effect. Funny enough, the Xenon board does not have a single 16v cap with the same specs and size as the falcon..
