    Only problem with that is it effected devices built before 1999, as shown by the thousands of Commodore A1200, A600 and A4000 that were damaged from it they were the only devices that had the Caps that caused it. Add to that TV’s and car stereos for example from the late 80’s. I wonder if someone was being economic with the truth the potential liability for that could be enormous to say the least. Or that the supposedly ok mixture placed in those caps was just as rubbish just that it took a few more years to come out. It that is the case the our Xboxes will eventually be next.

    Looks like the TSOP is dud or more likely blank, could be that way after the previous owner tried to flash it maybe. Once you are up and running you could try and flash the on board chip and see if it takes a bios. That will prove one way or the other.

    Deffo would like to know more, never bothered to find out why, just presumed that it was down to crap manufacture and age, added to manufacturers thinking that all the products would be in the bin before anyone knew.

    also i get same result with cerbios on my alladdin chip
  7. Andrew smith
    i have tried cerbios, evo m8, indi. the hdd i am using is my unlocked drive i have used on every xbox i have ever had. its odd that xblast loads no problem but no other bios will load. and cerb was working at first then i installed my lcd and all bioses accept for xblast stopped loading. i removed lcd and still same nothing will load other than xblast. i went over mb with magnifying glass to see if any traces were damaged and cleaned with alcohol and same result and i quickly built a hdd to accomadate cerbios and still same result. solid green led no video

    A solid green led with no display is normally a soft modded hard drive. Have you tried to load a install DVD. What BIOS are you putting on the chip? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

    I have a v1.1 that was modded when i bought it, i added an open xenium mod chip and did the 128mb upgrade with xblast on my open xenium. chips are all successful and xblast loads fine, when i add a new bios to my chip and try to boot that bios i get either flashing green light or solid green with no video with every bios other than xblast bios. Xblast boots no issue from ox menu but no other bios will. it either solid green led or flashing green with no video on screen . I have replaced almost every cap on the board and it still does the same thing. any help would be appreciated wont boot stock hdd either booting perfectly to ox menu and xblast but no other is a very weird issue in my experience and this isnt my first mod

    I've had 2 original Xbox's my whole life, but stopped playing about 15 years ago until last year when I found out Insignia is bringing back online. And then I found out about the cap issues and from there I learned how to solder, disassemble and reassemble consoles, and have fun modding. My main box is a 1.3 running a Modxo chip and a 2tb HDD. Many plans for it in the future.

    The source drive with the games is 80GB so the F is around 70GB. The destination drive is 250GB and when mounted "df -h" showed the right amount of space. But even with only the 80GB connected, all the file names and directory structure are corrupted with the older version.
  18. KaosEngineer
    What size is the F partition on the drive(s)? The older kernel most likely only supports LBA28 - max hard drive size of 137GBs, not the newer LBA48 patch - more like LBA32 - not full LBA48 support.

    Yeah, anything from like 99-2007 was the "capacitor plague." The story behind how it happened is absolutely hilarious if you ever want to read into it further.
  20. Emptyworks
    It's alive!! I popped in the Pico tonight, and it booted up right away! I don't have a controller so I can't navigate the menu yet. I'll have to order one and In the meantime, I'll finish replacing the caps, re-cover those traces I exposed, and I want to do a nicer job installing modchip. I also need to do some reading on what I need to add a new hard drive. I guess this means it was my TSOP chip that was dead right? Thank you so much, I really appreciate everyone's help!

    Yep. I have one right now that someone brought me that’s going to require some trace repair on my end due to the electrolytic fluid leak from the clock cap. Seen it way too many times. Also as bigF mentions I’ve seen it on some laptops of the same era (and a few other consumer electronics) that were effected by that dodgy run of capacitors.
  24. big F
    Seen a few laptops suffer the same when they get the same damage. In each case cleaning and a couple of component changes fixed all.

    Another classic symptom I've seen over the years when the clock cap causes damage is the system automatically powering up when plugged in. Damn electrolytic fluid can be crazy if it sits for years on end.

    You can even use Endgame that boots to Xblast then flash the bios via FTP, No special game needed all you need is two links on the board.. Too simple.. I have been flashing Xbox boards since version 1.1 was released and all with out soft modding the Xbox 1st. The 1st re-flash I did was trick the Xbox with a game save to load Linux then Telnet to the Xbox and pray it worked as there was nothing on the Xbox screen and the only give away was the LED when orange as it was flashing then the Xbox shut down Sure fit a mod chip but unless your into testing different bios files then there is no benefit and if your going to test different bios files then a chip that has different banks is needed.

    Anything thats not a 1.6 board can be flashed without the need to ever install a mod chip. In fact its easier, less soldering nothing to buy, if you have one of the softmod games and the game save needed you are already 75% there. I flash most of mine that way just because once the soldering is done you just put it back together, load the game softmod then push the flash from there. All thats needed after that is a harddrive swap to give you more space. If you dont need it you can just screw it back together…. Job done. The only reason you need a chip is if you are using a 1.6. Or plan to use some of the more specialist functions a modded box can do. just playing backed up games or emulating old consoles and arcade cabs is not a reason to do a full mod chip mod. That requirement died when the OG could no longer go on XboxLive. I only do it now if someone asks for it or Im feeling nostalgic.

    I need to do some reading to get up to speed on what the TSOP and EEPROM actually do and what’s necessary if my plan is to use a mod chip and a new hard drive. I do have a Pico Mini, and I was planning to try the ModXO mod after getting this set up. Looking at the project’s GitHub, it looks like I already have everything I need to give it a shot. The software stuff looks a bit crazy at first glance but I'm sure I can figure it out. Would ModXO work or do I need a different one? Also what if I can't Dump the EEPROM? I didn’t make much progress on the caps last night since I had some irl work stuff to take care of but I’m planning to get some xbox time in tonight.
  31. chysalis
    I don't know. The softmodding I did because I just wanted to try it then that led to backing up the eeprom to getting a new sata 1tb harddrive. Pico seems like an easy install, I'll make it so it plugs into the LPC debug port.

    thanks for all the replys. As SS_Dave said above the power supply was modded to 220v. i just saw 120v on the back and used a step down transformer. i put back the 400v capacitor and ran it without step down transformer. now no turning itself off, the only problem is that 400v capacitor cannot be safely fit inside. i fitted it outside of the xbox like in picture, don't like it this way but its better safe here.

    I had an eprom fail years back, bought a lead to pull the eproms without the need to remove them from the board. Was able to pull image from another board that was faulty and reprogram the one that dropped its programing.

    Any thing is possible but the 1.6 needs a 5 volt standby power and the 1.0-1.4 only has a 3.3 volt standby supply, It would be easier to convert a ATX computer supply. You would be better off getting another power supply from eBay or the like. The fault may not be the power supply but without a oscilloscope to monitor the 5 and 12 volt output's from the supply it's easier to try a replacement supply.
