Thanks for the advice all. I had a go at flashing the TSOP but I think the on board chip may be no good and why it wasn't working in the first place. Whenever I disconnect the modchip it goes back to FRAG. I tried using the 3 wire trick to load different banks but all behaved the same - so I've decided I'll just leave the chip installed after all! I flashed it with Cerbios now.

Yeah pretty much - I was thinking of giving this Xbox to a friend once I got it all working. The chip is the only one I have so would like to hold onto it in case I need it again!

Hey, thanks for the responses! I've made quite a bit of progress with this... The system never had a modchip, but I had an old Duo X2 modchip lying around, so I fitted that to the system. After that I was able to boot discs but not the dashboard, I was getting error codes related to the HDD. I'm not really sure what HDD is in here tbh, it may be that I took out the HDD when it failed and just put a random one in.. so maybe that's why I was having issues. Anyway I used an OGXbox Installer disc to format the HDD and now it boots into custom dashboards fine and plays games from discs. I was wondering about possibly doing a TSOP flash and taking out the chip from here (assuming the TSOP is okay). If I wanted to do that, what would be the best way to go about it? Lock the HDD, remove the modchip, softmod and then flash the TSOP using the disc?

Hi, I have an Xbox which I believe is 1.0 (fan on the GPU). It's one I've had for a while and used to be working, I had it softmodded and at some point it stopped working so I just put it in a cupboard and used a different one. Recently I thought I'd try to fix it. When I opened it the clock cap had of course leaked, but the corrosion didn't seem too serious. I removed it and cleaned up with no change. The symptoms are as follows: On power on, green light, it shuts off almost immediately, tries again, turns off again, on third boot it stays on and the light flashes green/red rapidly Optical drive won't open No video output No change when IDE devices disconnected I have tried a PSU from a known working system with no change, and cleaned the board thoroughly with IPA. Does anyone have any other suggestions that might help me out with this? Thanks!
