  1. Well that wasn't too bad. I lost some of the pads on the other side trying to use a wick. I was able to install the Aladdin and the system booted right up.
  2. Thanks Dave! Thats all I wanted to know before. I can just use a chip and then it would be good.
  3. Thank you for the encouragement. I do believe some of them legs are missing. I think the only way to fix that now is to replace the chip entirely. I believe I would have to then connect wires directly to the traces. Maybe one day I'll take on this project. I've always had trouble using braid. Making solder stick to it I have always found it to be a bit of a task. When I replace the chip, I will see if I do it to the other side. Maybe I'll get one from a bad board.
  4. I figured as much, but I thought I would ask. This started with a drop of solder that fell on the pins. I tried and tried, but I could not get it all out then bad to worse. I guess I have spare parts now.
  5. Do you really think I should even try?
  6. I have a V1.0 System I was getting ready to Tsop flash, but I ran into a problem where I accidentally got solder on the legs of the Tsop. I tried removing it, but things just got screwed up more and more. I was wondering is the board going to be screwed, or is my only option a mod chip?
  7. Thanks Dave. I wonder if actual DVD images would be better instead of backs done the traditional way. I do have quite a bit of roms installed as well. Also, the boot time was more of an issue before switching the IGR so that LT, RT, Back, and Black can take you right to the dash. Even still I would like to improve boot times. I made a backup image of the drive so I can do another system. I am going to try with the Startech and I will see how much things are improved. I have been reading and many folks swear by it. Did you mean like Cerbios 2? dogs logo? Or is there a logo with 2 dogs? It may not matter, but I was wondering.
  8. HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 HUS724030ALA640 I am using
  9. I am using the NFHK SATA to IDE, and Emustation.
  10. Thanks! I thought of that, but I was not sure if it would cause any issues. That worked real well. That saved like more then 10 secs to boot. I am trying to get it lower then that. I am down to 41 secs before the dash is loaded. I wonder if there is anything else I can do?
  11. I was wondering if it is possible to disable Cerbios bootanimation? How?
  12. I was able to flash the updated bios with the 256kb UDMA 5 and I am using the Chinese IDE to Sata adapter. That went fine. I ran bios checker to verify the bios. While I did not see the bios because it is unknown, I did see the bios chip which is the Hynix Hy29f080. I think this is a 1mb bios chip. I went with the 256kb bios to be on the safe side because I was not sure. Does it matter that I did not use the 1mb version?
  13. Actually this system just came into my possession recently. I wanted to do a softmod into a tsop, but I think I will need to put a chip in. Folks say you can get the Aladdin for $5, but I can't seem to find where. The chips are still cheap anyway. Wish there was another way to tsop. Thanks for confirming my suspicion.
  14. I have a Xbox 1.0 and the system goes to boot, stays stuck for a few seconds on M$ logo. When it gets to the stock dash, it is very slow to do anything. I am thinking maybe the hard drive is failing because I tried another working dvd drive and it did the same thing. I just wanted to hear from someone what could be going on?
  15. I have these SMD 0603 resistors and LEDs. I had no idea how tiny they are I almost lost 2 of them. If I sneeze, they will be lost for sure.
  16. Looks like I got some bad info about the LEDs and resistors that are just way too small. Which size should I use?
  17. THANK YOU!!! I could not find this info anywhere. Someone sent them to me and was like oh cool, I wish I knew exactly how to use them.
  18. Thank you!!! I would like to see how they are mounted as well. That would also be very helpful.
  19. I have a few of these LED pcbs for the OG Xbox controller ports. I am trying to locate a tutorial on how to install these, but I cant find one. Can anyone please point me in the right direction.
  20. This is my personal console and have not touched the AV. I think I'm going to make a little video and show you exactly what it does. Upon boot you could almost see like some static but then it goes away and the screen just goes black.
  21. I've tried the same cable on another Xbox and it works. I also have the same results with another TV. Moving that does nothing. Any other ideas?
  22. I found this on reddit, but it did not looking it was ever resolved.Changed the 3 caps under the CPU and now sound but no picture! Any ideas? I am having the same issue where I had to replace 5 blown caps, but afterwards I am getting no video. I can hear the boot animation, but I get no video. I have reflowed many times. Not sure where exactly to start checking. Any help would be appreciated.
