always a good idea to hold on to that old hdd

i don't know. i live in the usa. u can look at the page and see. other 80-wire cable will work fine. but the one i posted is a perfect replacement in length, space between connecters, and stiffness to the oem.

did u ever get this fixed?

these are perfect 80 wire replacement cables for the og xbox. https://chimericsystems.com/collections/uncategorized/products/custom-xbox-ide-cable

try installing the board and psu by themselves. only connect the psu, start button, and tv to the board. plug the console in and hit the power button. u should be greeted by the regular xbox flubber and then it will take a moment for the system to frag. this is a way to find out it the problem is in the board or in one of it's attach components. also, did u replace the 3 caps in front of the heatsinks? did u try to replace the thermal paste(don't if u haven't already)?

hey dave. i was actually thinking about tagging u in one of my updates. i highly recommend these chimeric ide 80-pin cables. i stretched it out beside a stock ide cable and it was identical in length and spacing of the connecters. i also think the dark gray color looks better. it seems to have good flexibility too. the new feet and memory card port-to-usb controller adapter work very well too.

UPDATE 2: i just installed the new ide cable and it works perfectly. highly recommended. it is identical in length to the oem cable.

UPDATE: i got the stuff in the mail yesterday. the ide cables are the exact length of the oem cable and look great. they would especially look good in a clear or translucent case. i haven't tried them yet(i intend to soon) so i don't know about their performance. the new feet are made of a flexible plastic so they won't have the anti-slip properties of the rubber feet. they also have no adhesive on them so u will have to supply your own. the controller to usb adapter is a VERY snug fit in the controller. it works but it will be very hard to remove. i tried removing it with needle nose pliers but stopped trying because i was afraid i would damage something. i'll try to give an update on the ide cables when i install one. they appear to be the perfect replacement. if u have any questions then please feel free to ask.

how did u load the ftp server without loading the dash?

i used the eaton brand 1f 2.5v supercaps to replace my clock caps that have worked perfectly.

i read something a while back that said the 1.0 and 1.1 were bad to just short themselves out for no apparent reason. that appears to be true. can u see about getting a 1.2-1.4 mobo? since your gonna hardmod it then it will work fine with any drives.

it's not common on the og xbox because they don't get that hot.

2nd picture will be in the comment. i'll let y'all know how these work out. they look pretty nice.

let me know if they work for u.

dave is correct, the dvd isn't locked to the xbox. and i have seen several of that brand xbox dvd drive sell for $100 on ebay. that's how beloved they are. so hang on to it for dear life.

do u need a link for the specific caps or is dave's info enough to go on?

hang on to that drive. they are the best and highly sought after

all the thompson drives use them. can u give me a link to the ones u found?

try changing the caps in font of the heatsinks. they can look perfect and still be bad. if that doesn't fix it, try finding a new pus for it.

the caps can look absolutely perfect and still be bad.

put a mod chip in it. that is probably the easiest way to solve your problem. hard modding a 1.6 is a little more involved than all the others but very doable. what brand dvd drive does it have?

i don't know if what u say is true or not but wouldn't it be easier just to remove the main pulley and lube it with grease and then put a tighter rubber band on it?

thank u for that download. what do u normally set your clock speeds at?

change all 5 of those big caps in front of the processors. only one of them looks ok and it's probably on it's way out. i'd almost bet money that is your problem.
