Cian Cunningham Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi, I have put this on the Facebook group also. I have an X2.6 chip in an old v1.0 Xbox and I was going to pull it out and put it in a different one however the PCB with the bank switches has gone missing. No idea where it is. What are my options? Ideally would like to have the full functionality and flash it again. Anyone have the switch PCB and want to part with it has anyone done their own switches for it? The ribbon cable to the non existent switch PCB is intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) I have one of those chips, I'm sure the switch board is not much more than switches and LEDs, so could be made, using pcb prototype board etc. I'll see if over the weekend I can pull mine out and take a look. I post some pictures, so it can be reverse engineered. Edited September 23, 2017 by big F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cian Cunningham Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thank you for the reply. I actually found it. See I did this one to a version 1.0 when I was a teenager and the switches went missing off the front over the years. Only just pulled out all the Xboxs to get back into it a bit recently and it was bugging me I had an Xecuter with no switches. Found it last night after tearing the house apart in a box of random bags of components. It would still be a good task to see how simple the board is.

ShinGoutetsu Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Necro post I know but does anyone have the pin out from the x2.6 CE modchip for the switch panel? I have one without the panel and need to know the enable/disable pins as the chip isn't lighting up at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDShadow Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Getting to that team-xecuter.com web site has always caused me problems. Two different versions of Firefox, one of them fully up to date with all the bells and whistles reports it as a wrongly configured, insecure web site. Waterfox, again, fully up to date likewise. Only way I've found to get to it is by using a proxy server or VPN and then any browser can be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinGoutetsu Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Thanks, worked perfectly, linked 3 and 4 then 5,6,7 and 8 all together and now it boots to evo x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Thanks for the info Chaosengineer I guess that most of us never change the dip switches now anyway so could get away with just jumping the connections and leaving the switch board not connected.
