Here’s what I get when pushing eject button with mod. Mod red led comes on then off, then on again, then off, then on and stays on. You can hear HDD start to work. No bios boot. Seems it’s trying to boot HDD but stops. So, most likely bad mod chip or HDD is screwed up. I really don’t know how to eliminate one.

ok, after reflowing the header, I power it up and now all I get is green and red ring and no boot. mod is lit red. If I remove the mod I get Factory boot with 05 error. It will not boot at all with mod plugged in. Also, I checked the D0 wire point of solder on bottom of motherboard and it is not a ground. I've attached a pic of bottom D0 solder point. I don't know anything about this mod, but it must have worked at one time as it is. If mod is bad can I just install another?

I didn't mod it, but I'm assuming the D0 wire is already grounded. I just got done reflowing the header pins but havn't tried it yet

Going to reflow the header pins today. If that's not the problem, what is next?

How do I lock the HDD? It's been many years since I've worked on an Xbox. Trying to get this one working for a friend.

Ok, I'll resolder and clean up. thanks

Hello, I’m trying to repair an Xbox Ver 1.1 for a friend. It has a Xenium 0449 05 M2 MT mod installed with a 160 GB HDD. I’m getting a 05 error on boot up. So, I’m assuming its booting with xbox original bios and 05 error has to do with the unlocked 160GB HDD. My question is, what options do I have here. I don’t know if Mod is bad or the HDD has an error. The mod has a red led always on and I don’t know if this is normal. If mod is ok, what options do I have to repair HDD to work with existing Xenium mod.I have checked the D0 wire and it is ok. Thanks
