    I'm not an expert but maybe it's power suply issue or bad capasitors.

    When you change the fan to faster speeds then you also increase the current or voltage that is drawing.

    Look for leaking caps and check the voltage coming out from the PSU (power suply unit).

    Thanks for this, I suspect about capacitors, some are faulty I think, but can't find affordable replacements, shipping is to expensive for my location.

    Looks like the pads have been bridged with solder to write enable the flash memory chip.  A modified BIOS can then be written to the memory chip to boot the console modified just like a modchip does without any addtional hardware.

    Select the Settings > System Info menu option and wait for the copyright scoller to complete.  Take note of the D and K lines at the end before it repeats.  Post the values displayed.

    Unfortunately, after the boot an error 7 pops, I checked the IDE cable and the DVD drive (replacing with other ones) and no change at all, so it must be the HDD. If I disconnect it gives me error 8, if replace it for another one pops error 13. Is my diagnosis right?

    By this post I would say you have seen the text down the bottom of the screen with executer 

    Have you tried to load a install disk with a new hard drive connected?

    Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

     

    I will try to use the install disk, Rocky5's installer is ok or do I need another pack?

    U7D1 is the chip that is being referred to as the TSOP.  It is a flash memory chip in a Thin Small Outline Package that holds the Xbox's BIOS/Kernel used to boot and run the console.

    Can you post a close-up picture of the area that includes only the LPC Debug port and TSOP (U7D1) chip.

    You have a v1.0 console that has the 4034 version of the stock BIOS/Kernel.

    The will also be a link on the bottom around the same spot .

    So you can fit the new hard drive and the load your installation DVD in the DVD drive then power cycle the Xbox

    This is awesome, I didn't even realize about that point. How do you spot it? The pic I posted is quite shitty.

    Thanks for the insight. As soon as I can will send the close-up.

    When it boot up EvoX I would guess your XBox is softmodded.

    You could solder the 2 TSOP points (one on top and one on the bottom on the 1.0) and TSOP flash it, no problem.

    Thanks for the answer sweetdarkdestiny, another question, my HDD is dead, after the TSOP can I do something to replace it or what path I must follow? I've read that I need to chip it in order to run Slayer or something like that. I would appreciate your help.

  7. Hello there, I recently decided to give a second chance to my old Xbox, my parents bought it to me back in 2004 when I was 12 years old. it is a v1.0 and always has booted EvoX, even to this day, the problem is that I can't find any modchip or TSOP. Maybe it's my lack of expertise but I thought that EvoX only boot in a hardmoded machine, so where it is? And if there is no chip, how can it boot EvoX?

    I've already removed and cleaned the clock capacitor leak, no visible corrosion.

  8. Hello, I bought an OG v1.1 recently and worked just fine, it came with an Aladdin (I don't know what model, but assume is an old one). The chip doesn't worked so I softmodded and left the chip in its place. After a few weeks playing the xbox simply shutdown in the middle of a Mario Party gameplay and when try to turn it on it tried to boot from the modchip (I think it activates holding the power button for a few seconds). I though it was the CPU overheating, so increase the fan potency (x3), replace the thermal paste and remove the clock capacitor finding little to no corrosion in the board but quite a few components rusted, which I cleaned.

    When I tried to play again it was even worse, it shutdown more often than before and when I turn it off the thing turn on again trying to boot from the modchip. Then I check for trace corrosion and there was nothing visible, but made the bypass for the 4 traces either, nothing new happened. Maybe the modchip was the problem, right? Well, no. After removing it, the only difference was that it booted normally.

    Then I remembered that the freaking fan was on x3, and put it back to x1, since then no more unexpected turn offs or ons, it works as good as before.

    I came here to ask the experts: this makes any sense at all?
