Does the Nvidia MCXP gets very hot in your Xboxes?
soniccd123 replied to soniccd123's topic in Repair
Thanks for helping friend I've connected the ATX PSU as you said, so probably not the cause of the dead chip (not that I cannot have messed up, but it doesnt seen to be the case). I actually have access to the necessary tools to rework a BGA chip at work, the problem would be finding a donor board, and even then, I don't know if other components aren't really also on the verge of colapse, so, I don't know if its worth it I'm quite sad about the Xbox, in my country they're not cheap and even available most of the time, I think I'll be without one for some time now :/ -

Thanks friend, I think my chip must be busted then, what a shame It was working with the ATX PSU, but then it just stopped, I think maybe the other PSU must have strained it to the verge of colapse when it blew up and then it colapsed with some use I supose that I should pronounce this Xbox dead right? There is no way to substitute this chip from what I understood -
I've been trying to repair my Xbox this week after accidentally blowing the 110V PSU on 220V . I've got to make it work with a PC 200W ATX PSU yesterday, but this morning, it started to FRAG. I noted that the 3.3V line has gone down to about 2.85V when the PSU is connected to the motherboard and the PSU turn off after a minute or so. I'm pretty sure that there is a short somewhere in the 3.3V line. I noticed that the Nvidia MCXP3 chip is getting very hot when the PSU is connected, I want to know if this is common, because if not, I suspect that the short maybe inside the chip, which will mean that it is dead
