OG Xbox Clock Cap Removal and Trace Corrosion Fix

Hey guys! This original Xbox was having some weird issues with the disc drive opening on it's own. So I took it apart and found out that it had a leaky clock capacitor and left a ton of corrosion damage on a bunch of different traces on the motherboard. So today I'm going to show you the fix for this issue in my first somewhat difficult repair.
