Powering up that Xbox from the finds topic let to an unusual result. The boot X logo is red. And I get an error 07 screen (indicating something HDD related from the look of it) afterward that's surely no Microsoft one. Could there be a modchip inside? The system appears previously opened, missing those bottom pads. I can't see down far enough the long thin dark holes to tell what screwdriver is necessary.
