  1. Their website says this issue was fixed on the newest xbox2hdmi.. "With this newest version of this module, V3, the Digital Surround Sound audio input has been fixed to work with every revision of the Xbox. " guess that didn't transfer over to the analog2hdmi ... thanks for mentioning it, I was going to put mine into a 1.0, saved me the headache .. looks like it will be going into a 1.3 after i fix the trace rot.
  2. I couldn't find Gerber for them, but there was someone selling them on Facebook If either of you guys need one, I could probably spare one..
  3. I have a couple of the boards but haven't got around to installing them yet, I have way too many projects on the go and they keep sliding further down the to do list...I will try to set some time aside in the next two weeks and see if I have any luck..
  4. I know it sounds simple but is the slave/master jumper on the sata adapter set correctly?
  5. Thanks for the info much appreciated.. I wasted too much time blowing up caps and screwing around in electronics class instead of paying attention... if we could only go back in time and do things over lol I was looking at these for the 1500uf https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/kemet/A759MS158M1AAAE012/13420083
  6. Time to do some capacitor replacments and have a question about ripple current.. The way I understand it generally higher ripple current capacity is better as caps will last longer.. But on digikey ripple current has 2 measurments.. Low frequency @120hz High frequency @ 100khz I am assuming these different specs would be for different use cases like basic power delivery vs power smoothing? Is that correct? I am switching to polymer caps so esr is low. Should I be focusing more on the 100khz ripple rating?
  7. Good luck man, interested to see how this turns out..
  8. I've had this 3 times that I can recall , one was rot, one was ide sata adapter (not applicable here) and the other time the drive was not fully closing(again not applicable here) If no noticeable damage to wires going to front panel or rot any where I'm not sure where to go... maybe time to bust out the multimeter and see what you are getting on the DVD drive wires...
  9. Sorry if I missed it are you using stock ide hard drive or a sata drive with adapter? If adapter what type? Sometimes the cheap adapters act weird if the jumpers on the drive/adapters aren't right or if the ide cable isn't 80 wire.. This is a strange one if there is no trace rot... Can corrupt eeprom cause sothing like this?
  10. I've only had one failure and one that was intermittent.. so not really high failure for me.. but depending on the seller quite offen the soldering is really bad on the cheap ones.. even though they work, I just have to go over it for piece of mind. Now I just spring for startech as I can't be bothered anymore.
  11. I like using the startech ide2sata25 single channel model because I don't used the optical drive...I also prefer it because I can use sata cable instead of the ide cable.... But they are getting harder to find because they are discontinued. I haven't had too many issues with the cheaper no name ide to sata adapters but I usually go over and redo all the soldering points on them.
  12. I have a couple of th Electron Shepherd analog2hdmi boards and am hoping to source a couple of these pcb's to make it even easier... I have an hd+ in one of my boxes but don't think I will be going with hd + with the others...
  13. Got it working using a new usb cable previous cable was a data sync cable but wouldn't play nice.... new cable and visual studio compiled and programed firmware without issue.
  14. Hello, Trying to setup an ogx360 T4 that uses teensy 4.1 by Ryzee119 but I think I'm over my head a bit here as I'm not too familiar with visual studio... When compiling I get the following warning, Is this something I should be worried about and if so any idea how to fix it? Also is the firmware.hex in the bulid/duke folder the file I should be loading on the teensy with teensy loader? Thanks
  15. Thanks for trying... definitely going to mess around with this today once the kids are at school... Agreed! 3 of my xbox have 128mb and hd+ .... that would be sweet!
  16. From what I am reading this currently cannot be used for xboxhd+ as the patching process breaks things correct? The different udma options is interesting.. looking forward to experimenting with it...
  17. Thanks for confirming have to pick up a couple more ogx360 I guess...
  18. Hello Wondering if anyone else has issues with wingman xb not working with xenium launch menu or xblast menu? Using wingman and wireless 360 controller I get no response from the controller with xenium or xblast os. Assuming this must be driver issue as retail and other bios I've tried work fine..
  19. Just wanted to update this.. after getting a better microscope I located a tiny bridge that looked like a shadow on my old microscope. After removing the bridge I got 3.3v back on the eeprom and no more black screen just the frag from the failed bios flash.. Proceeded to do the 3 wire trick everything booted as it should.. reflashed the tsop and its now all good. Guess I should of bought the microscope in the first place , would of saved alot of time... oh well.
  20. Hello, I have been trying to diagnose a no video scenario with one of my xbox that I originally thought was being caused strictly by a bad bios flash. I original posted some questions about it in flashing and bios forums, troubleshooting has lead me to believe that my main problem is now related to eeprom issue so I figured post should be here, as it is no longer relevant to those forums if that is incorrect and I should of just continued posting in one of those previous thread I apologize... This xbox originally had a dead hard drive so I tried to read the eeprom with ch341a and a test clip. Being 1.0 xbox there was not much room to fit the test clip and after many failed attempts I gave up with the clip. At this point I unsoldered the eeprom and read it directly on the reader, I obtained good read with no issues then resoldered the eeprom. I continued to flash the tsop with xblast and upgrade the ram to 128mb. ram test passed with no issues after many heat cycles. I proceeded to flash a new bios to the tsop, except I bumped the power at the end of the procedure got an incomplete flash with frag. I was able to test some of the other sections of the tsop with recommended 3 wire trick and the xbox would boot but with flashing green and no video. I tried bypassing tsop with Aladdin but again no video and flashing green. Thinking I corrupted the eeprom I desoldered the eeprom and verified contents match the backup, and resoldered the eprom. The last modchip I tried was xblast modded Aladdin and to my surprise the xbox boots with video like normal, I believe this bios is working because it is Cromwell/Gentoox based and is ignoring the eeprom. In looking at the eeprom, I can read and write the chip no problem off board but I cannot read/write it in circuit through lpc header.... when I hook up programmer through lpc I get a red light on the programmer indicating incorrect pin or short. I now think I must of shorted something out when fighting with the test clip originally. Anyone have any idea on what I might of fried or what area I should start looking? is there any motherboard schematics floating around? I'm not ready to banish this poor box to the parts bin yet if I can help it lol. again thank to all that have helped me.
  21. Thanks, I will look into Cromwell bios. Is that what xblast os is bases off of by any chance? If so than that makes sense, as xblast bios boots but other bios do not... this may have just narrowed down my troubleshooting Thank you.
  22. Hello, Wondering is there any bios that will boot and function without working eeprom? Thanks
  23. Hello, Unfortunately I was not able to reflash the onboard bios, as the dvd drive didn't seem to function properly to read the disc. So I installed an alladin with ind bios and it would boot but I still had black screen but this time eject led was flashing green. Thinking maybe somehow I had a corrupted the eeprom as I originally had to remove the eeprom from the board to read it and back it up. So I unsoldered again reflashed the eeprom and verified the flash resoldered the eeprom still getting the flashing green light. Ok tried an aladdin modded with xblast this time. Hey it boots to the bios selection screen and I have video! Ok select a bios and.... nope back to black screen solid green light this time. Tried m8 bios on other bank same thing... My question is, what isn't xblast os checking that is normally checked that is causing my no video? Do you think there could be a bad solder joint on one of the ram chips? Maybe not bad enough to frag but bad enough to corrupt memory? I think issue is more than bad bios flash Any thoughts? Thanks
  24. I tried your 3 wire method using aligator clip and grounding pin 1 and 2 on the tsop and the xbox booted, thank you sir. only issue now is no video is being displayed so somthing is not right with the bios... any thoughts on how to get around this? Any way to re flash remotely through network without having a visual on screen?
