Hello Dave, I don't know how old are you and if you have a wife and / or children, but you have the same passion I have. Usualy I repair Xbox (still 14 at home), but last saturday, I repaired a dreamcast, a yellow dreamcast, bought for 10€ inc ship. I think one day my wife will kill me ! (44 years old this fryday). I have also the project to work on Cpu upgrade with N64 Freak, I have to buy a bga rework station in january. bye

I have done the same, and my blue 5v led is nearly always shining. Do you use a sata to ide adapter ? bye

If the HDD has been locked with configmagic or unleashed, the master password could be "TEAMASSEMBLY". You may try XBOXHDM on your computer. Maybe SS_DAVE could help you, try to send him a PM If your are good using I2C reader, you may use such solution bye

SsDave is right, I think the start transistor us dead

Did you try with an other front panel Switch ? Else, I will look at an old guide for 1.6 because I am not sure that SS_DAVE was ecplaining thé same, i have to check, maybe this is the same component. In which country are you ? Bye

I dont know a fatx explorer that support original Xbox, I have Seen for 360. Bye

I dont Dee anything that Can help us. Did you try an other psu ? 1.6 Can easily have a problèm with start circuit. Do you have any ligt when you presse power or eject ?

Hello, Can you send a full bottom and top photo, good quality in order to zoom in. Bye

Blue and black, 12 of each:

Hello, i have just received pcb today. Photos this weekend Bye

This is just beside Xcalibur ship

I have followed the track on the other side, look at the photo. Bye

Hello, When you will start, check that are quiet, no coffee, some classes, small Iron tip. Take you Time, and Always check with xblast lite After each module, because your onboard bios will only boot 64 or 128Mb, but not with 81, 97, 112 Mb. If you are not in IND5006.XX onboard, do this first, if you are 1.6 version, flash first xblast OS. If you are in Europe, I Can send you Aladin XBLAST lite, with 1 Mb chip. This is a low cost Aladin xt plus, with a bigger chip and a New CPLD. Bye

Hello, for compatibility with ATA to SATA adapter, I would advice you to buy a WD BLUE. 2TB is perfect for full Xbox collection. Prefer something that long last. Use Chimp to make 2 partitions of about 980 Mb. The sectors must be 64 kb and not 128 kb. If you use Xpartitionner 1.3, dont forger to first remove small 127 Mb F drive and save and reboot, before créatine F and G. Bye

Hello, You need to send photos please. Bye

Look I have just done a new one with the chips I linked you: bye

Hello Friends, I have started a new Xbox ( My wife will kill me). This time I took the time to give you some photos of my madness: Step1: Disassembling It was very dirty, this is a 1.1 version. I immediately removed clock capacitor (Yes a gamegear is also lying on the ground) and change thermal paste. Step2: Hot water and soap cleaning in the kitchen on plastic parts Step3: The same for the shields Step4: Shield painting to prevent corrosion (EMI points will be paint removed after painting). This is the grey primer, after I put what I use black or white paints. Step5: And why don't adding more ram, this board is very nice. With help of my xblast lite, one chip after another. Note, that the chip N°4 gave me some problem, after test, the xbox start then stop, I check and redid the solder 3 times, after first, no boot problem on Xblast, but the chip was not anymore detected. So I decided to gently remove it, and to replace it with a new one. And it worked, I could go on with the last one. For people upgrading their Xbox, don't forget that a chip can fail even if it is new like for me if you realize bad solder and make a short circuit. As you can see, it remains some flux. It is a bit hard to remove all as I worked for a long time on chip N°4. (Near PSU connector) Step6: I have to confirm that everything is ok and check memory inside operating system. You can see after the last chip that XblastOS show 128 Mib. Inside tool menu (in settings), you can test your memory. This is what you have to do after each chip added. My prefered order is chip 2, the chip 3 ( both bottom side), then the 4th because some caps take lot of place to solder and finish by number 1. and finally check under operating system, to confirm that no blocks are failled. Some blocks can't be tested as they are used by operating system. Step7: DVD cleaning, Pot settings, new belt installation and Ide to Sata improvements. As you can see, I replace always jumper by solder ( master / slave) I had a case where the jumper falled during shippment. I also replace the 2 bad quality chineese capacitors bye Panasonic ones. The whole DVD case was cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, and also lens, motor. New greased has been applied to axles and caddy. DVD pot was 2400 Ohm. It is very often a too high value like this one. Samsung drives like value between 1900 and 2000 ohm. Look the copy speed result after that: more than 6 Mb/s Who wants it ? I don't spoke about the Sata HDD. I will use ever a 500 Gb, or a 3tb ( I know xbox can only handle 2 Tb ) If someone wants it and leaves in europe. I will put this box on stress test during a week and it will be ready for sale. It can also be delivered with original HDD ( Seagate IDE and for the future IDE2SATA adapter provided) If you are interrested in, send a PM. Bye Benur75

Hello, I think to some things to check: What is the region of the console, do you patch game on the fly to change region, did you put NTSC ? then, it could be a game that does not include italian speaking ? Do you check it on an another xbox ? bye

Hello SS_Dave, I have ordered 2 weeks ago 10 kits. they are "on on road" for delivey. In which country are you ? Send me a PM. bye

Hello, you must use a lba48 support bios. I think you have an 1.6 Xbox with m8plus.witout lba48. Latest hexen 2019 contrains such bios, 06 or 67 like you need as your partions scheme need. Just compare your bioses, and very important, you have to use a 80 pins Ribbon, it IS mandatory. Bye
