Restoring Damaged XBOX 360 Elite - Weird MOD

hey what's up everyone my name is andrew and in this video i'm gonna restore backing function and mod the xbox 360 elite i bought this xbox 360 in a pretty desperate condition and with this xbox i got one controller and the power brick so this xbox 360 is in a working condition i mean the motherboard and the other parts are still alive over the case there are a lot of scratches and the case is a little bit broken right over the city drive the city drive does not work properly actually the cd drive won't open without using some force trick but fortunately the city drive reads cds with no problem when i want to see the drive i want to show something this problem actually is very easy to fix it the problem is coming from the rubber belt that is turning the plastic gear which is opening the cd drive so to fix the cd drive i just cleaned the rubber belt using cotton buds and 96 isopropyl alcohol and after you clean the rubber belt the city drive backs into a normal the xbox controller i got it as not working but after i did some checks i found out that a problem is coming from the rusty battery contacts so i cleaned the contacts a little bit i placed in your batteries and the controller started working from the other side the controller is broken i mean on the case but i test it and everything is still functional also the broken part of the controller and the xbox case i mean the shape of the crack is pretty matching and i think that somebody smashes the controller from the xbox and the last thing is the power brick the power brick after about 20 minutes gets very very hot which is not usual for these models and there is a high grease from overheating so probably there is another problem well now let's start and back this xbox 360 in a function again and make something better from it and first i will start with a full teardown and at this point i want to say something to open the xbox case is much harder than how it's looking in this video or any guide that you will find it if you're going to make something like this be very careful to not cause some damage [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] do [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] well and i'm done with the tear down and these are all the parts from the xbox now let's move to the cleaning process and first i will start with cleaning the motherboard and then i will continue with cleaning the city drive the other electronics and the cooling fans also to clean all the electronics i will use soft brush i mean to remove the dust a plastic spotter stick to remove the dry thermal paste and isopropyl alcohol for in-depth cleaning [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] my [Music] well the motherboard and all other electronics are done and now i will move to the case the heatsink and the other plastics because here there are no electronics all these parts i wash it using soap and water i have done this because with washing i will make them like a brand new again and because of the upcoming mod where anything needs to be clean [Music] [Music] after i finish with cleaning all the electronics and the case i move to disassembling the xbox controller these controllers are very easy to disassemble from the bottom side the controller have seven screws six of them are clearly visible but one is hiding under the batteries also if you're going to clean some of these xbox controllers be careful while disassembling do not pull the plastics too hard and be careful with the vibration motors i mean with a virus from the vibration motors now after finished with disassembling i move to the cleaning process so here first i remove the dust using a brush and after literally i wash the electronics using a 96 isopropyl alcohol i watched the controller because to clean the rust around the electronics which is almost everywhere also after this process i left the controller for 24 hours to get fully dry [Music] [Music] [Music] now i move to washing the controller case and all the buttons and to wash these parts i use the warm water and dish soap actually this process is the same as i did with the xbox case [Music] well now let's move to the last part the power brick the power brick is easy to disassemble under the four rubber feets there are four screws and that's all [Music] [Music] [Applause] do [Music] [Music] now i will move to the cleaning and i want to say something very important do not open the power brick if you have no right tools and we have no experience also you need to be a very very careful and never touch any of the inside electronics with bare hands the capacitors from the inside may have a high voltage even if the power adapter is disconnected from the power source [Music] [Music] so [Music] well the power brick is clean also the cooling fan it's clean and now it's gonna be a much better now after i finish with cleaning the electronics from the power brick i move to the case and here i cross over one more washing process the case is made from plastic and it can be washed same as the other plastic parts now finally everything is clean and it's ready for the next process and the next process is preparing the parts for painting and the other modifications so first i will start with taping the case and protecting some parts from getting painted also i've decided to not change the broken case from the controller and to not repair the hole from the case but all these i'm gonna fix it in a different way [Music] [Music] so [Music] well after finish with the taping process i move to the painting and first i paint the controller for the controller i used a three different sprays light gray beige normal gray beige and deep black and all the sprays are made acrylics also before i apply the spray paint i used a plastic primer the plastic primer will make the paint much more quality and much better and probably you will ask is will be any problems after painting like it will the controller get sticky or it is easy to scratch actually not really if you're going to use quality sprays it won't be any problems even after a long period of use this is the controller that i painted a few months ago and from then this controller is in use almost every day and the controller still looks great actually this controller looks the same as the day i painted well the next part what i paint is the power brick case and the power brick case i painted into a light gray beige color only and the final body paint is the xbox case the xbox case i painted into two different colors the great beige and the light gray beige and these are all the parts after the painting but i'm not done yet because this is going to be some action mod i need to add some details like scratches and some other effects to the xbox case and the controller and for this i will use the same sprays grey beige light gray beige deep black and also i will use a silver spray also i will use a two dishes cover it with aluminium foil two sponges and two small brushes and in this case i will use the sprays instead of using some other type of color and first i will start with a deep black spray now with a spray i spray to a dish and then using a thin brush i start with adding some details [Music] after i finish with a deep black spray i moved to the silver spray but here instead of using a brushes i used the kitchen sponge and the kitchen sponge i used the scouring pad side actually this is the great and easy way to create scratchet metal effects or something similar [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] well after finish with the controller i use the same techniques to the xbox case to create some effects and details [Music] well and all the parts are ready and now i will move to the assembling process and after we're gonna make some additional modifications and first i will start with the controller and here the only thing that i change are the boat sticks the old sticks are damaged and i found new sticks i mean these are not the new sticks these are used sticks but in a good condition well now i'm going to continue with the assembling process [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] well the assembling process is complete and let's add some additional details now to make this xbox to look more interesting i will add a gun from the both sides i'm going to be short here but this is what i did first i separate all the parts the next what i did is using a dremel tool i split the trigger on a half also i made some plastics for the magazine and for the barrel i used a plastic stick that i found in my garage well when i got all the parts that i need now using a super glue i stick separated parts to each side [Music] after the glow gets dry using a deep black spray i paint all the parts and using a silver spray i create scratch metal effects now again i move to sticking the parts and again using a super glow i stick the upper part to the bottom part [Music] now the gun model is ready and let's place the gun model to the xbox case so here first i stick the barrel and then i stick the gun model [Music] now after the glue gets dry and everything is well fixed let's add some another detail and for this i bought a two bullet keychains well but here i done some modifications also so here first i remove the chain from the bullet after i took out the chain using a sandpaper i remove almost the hull from the bullet and as a final thing i stick the bullet to the case also i have done this from the both sides of the xbox symmetrically and one more thing because the case somehow looks empty using a grey bait spray i add some details well and the last thing what i did is on the controller i add a keyboard which is one of my favorite things and on the controller i used rechargeable batteries because restoration is not restoration if something is not reusable and one more and last thing with this xbox i bought some very cool stuff and games that we are going to test [Music] [Music] well and after making all these changes this is the final result [Music] so [Music] well now let's move to testing after i cleaned the xbox and the power brick the things turned to better now the power brick is much less hot and finally no risk from overheating the xbox cooling fans are much less loud and much less annoying than before and i can play games with clearly hearing the sound from the games and not from the loud cooling fonts this xbox is working pretty fine and everything is functional to connect the xbox to the internet i used a cable connection and all is fine now i can access to the store download games and play multiplayer games now let's move to some games and the first game is the gta 5. also in the first test i connect this xbox to an ultrawide monitor because i want to see and show to you how this xbox is reacting to a 21.9 aspect ratio the gameplay android 21.9 is going pretty fine the picture is a little bit stretch but is very unnoticeable and in game details i mean the graphics are still good [Music] the other game that i test is the battlefield 3 and also one of my favorites the battlefield 3 is working fine in-game details are good and the multiplayer is still decently active to the xbox and as well on a pc [Music] well because i want to test this xbox more and analyze the details in detail i connect this xbox to a 65 inch 4k tv with a normal 69 ratio here the things are better the game graphics in-game details are better and i can notice many more details in the both games in the gta 5 and in the battlefield 3 the details and the graphics are satisfying even for today's standards [Music] so [Music] well and this is all about this xbox 360 elite i hope you enjoyed watching this video and i hope this video will give ideas and inspiration to back some touch in a function again also if you want to support my
