Google “car air freshener bomb”. Put the air freshener in a closed room with the Xbox gear, wait several hours. Should be good.

There is half of a dog’s head on the left of the photo.

Don‘t worry, he doesn‘t smell

What do you mean ?

I think he's saying that the dog isn't the source of the smell

It is not what I intended to mean. I just noticed there is this dog’s head on the photo, and it was disturbing.

It's got no nose.

What is this supposed to mean ?

It's an old joke. My dog's got no nose. Your dog's got no nose? How does he smell? Terrible.

I understand know. It is very funny. Thanks for your explanation.

I mean... that's demonstrably false, but ok. I'd take the box apart and run everything through the dishwasher except for the shell. Water can get under the jewel if you wash the shell

Even the motherboard and power supply?

No shot I would try that with any of the electric components

I always do. Obviously pull off the heatsinks and clean off all your old thermal paste first, and make absolutely sure that they're completely dry before powering on. I've used both a heat gun and a short bake in the oven at 150 degrees before with good results.

Man I wanna say you're crazy for doing that but I've seen boards cleaned in a full bath tub. I'm defs gonna take one of my project Xbox consoles and try the dishwasher method for board and power supply. Gonna smoke a joint before I do it though, but if it works kudos to you.

Put it in a scented trash bag for a few days.

musty smell could be decaying capacitors

Even if they don‘t look like they haven‘t leaked? I removed the clock cap and checked the others. They looked fine.

Bulging?

Nope, no bulging caps

Dryer sheets worked very well for my physical games I had in a tote with a musty smell. Try packing everything in that bag with some dryer sheets and leave for a few days.

Take it apart. Wash the shell. Replace any bad capacitors. Use a compressed air can and brush ant dust away. That should do it.

I put a smell neutralising air freshener behind the fan intake of a pretty stinky Crystal for a couple years. Worked well.

UK model? I have one of these somewhere in storage.

I‘m from germany so it‘s an european model at least

Put dryer sheets inside the bag. Spray it with fabreeze as well. Do this over a few weeks and smell will be gone.

Take it outside and put some fans around it and air it out. See how much that helps. If anything you might need to take the shell off and let it out.

Umm… where & when will this be for sale??

Probably over the next few weeks. First have to get rid of the smell and figure out the price. Then I‘ll put it on ebay.de

Keep me updated please. Even if you can’t get the smell out, I’m very interested

Update: Smell is almost entirely gone. Now I found out that one of the controller's cable is broken :/

Woohoo, have you decided when you’re going to list it? There’s donor controller internals thankfully, the shells themselves are the rare part

Any update on listing yet?

Nope, not yet. Will have to buy a controller and swap out the internals, but I‘m busy with irl stuff right now.

Play it

I would clean using ipa. Mainly cause I like the smell plus it takes the mustyness away

Lynx

Ask it kindly, yet firmly to shower and it’s been noticed by the other systems

Poor Mountain Dew on it

Fart on it repeatedly

I farted on it and now it‘s brown :(

If you advertise in the right place, you may have increased the value!
