Thx to all of you. You helped me a lot. @SS_Dave unfortunately for me DVD Trick didn't work. @KaosEngineer for me DVD+R did a trick and worked like a charm I also installed new 80Gig HDD (here also were some troubles, but found a workaround). I think i won't be modding Xbox further, thats enough for me Once again big THANK YOU!

It looks that I have Thomson @SS_Dave What do you mean by: "The other option is you can use a PC DVD drive to read burnt disk like the installer disk."

Don't know why, but I can't boot OGBox installer. I'm using DVD-RW and burn speed of 2x or 4x, but always get this message that disc cannot be read or it's format is wrong. Ofc original games booting fine, I've tried also burn a game and run it, but got the same error message.... Any idea?

Hi, Sorry for late response, in mean while I've ordered new Aladdin modchip from AliExpress. After soldering It to motherboard and holding power button for about 1 sec, Evox logo appeared in upper left corner of the screen. I also tried to resolder old chip, but without success. Most likely the old one is dead. My question now is, how to install custom dashboard, homebrew etc. It's possible to somehow put some data over FTP, or do I need burn DVD with some files?

No, there is no Evox shield displayed in left-hand corner. And there is only Microsoft printed. Attached are SS from normal power on and long power button press, both have the same values if it's about D and K lines. Today during long power button press something weird happend. Xbox started, I could hear that disc drive is working and FAN, button there was no screen and no sound.

D0 goes to back of motherboard, sorry for poor photos, they are from previous disassembly Unfortunately holding powerbutton for longer than 1 sec still boots MS Bios

Hi, i Was lucky enough and get free Xbox Classic. Xbox was manufactured in 2003. During the disassembly i found out that console got modchip, could you help me determine which one modchip is it (see attached)? I did some digging and probably the chip that is installed is Aladdin, and it should start after holding power button for about 1s, but nothing happens after that, just MS Bios starting. I've checked if the wires are still soldered and they hold well. Also found out that there is a leak from capacitor - probably the what that is used to hold the clock. I found information that it can be removed. Please share yours knowledge with me ;)
