The fact that the SSD is quieter is clutching at straws I have a 2007 WD500AAKB 500gig WD drive and the stock cooling fan running at 30% makes more noise than the hard drive so a 2020 hard drive is going to be quieter also coinops 8 is 85gig's on its own that's over 1/2 of the SSD your looking at. Also I am not a big fan of the Green style hard drives for Xbox use unless you can disable the power save feature.

The audio is converted to a digital stream for the HDMI So it's possible you have a dud wii2hdmi or a blob of solder on the wii2hdmi. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Any conductive paint it's even sold as rear window demister repair With 2 people a version 1.2-1.4 could be flashed with 1 person holding 2 small screwdrivers on the 2 points on the board and the 2nd person to use the controls to do the flash.

Give it a clean with soap and water then use MR Sheen polish Same Xbox before and after Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Go the 500gig hdd I have used a 1tb samsung SSD and compared to a 7200rpm hard drive it was the about same boot and load times but both where a a little bit quicker than the stock 5400rpm hard drive.

A install disk can restore the OS to a new drive with less mucking around than restoring a image from a hard drive unless you have a backup image of the entire drive including the games (C:,E:,F:,G:) but each to their own.

It's just as easy and less mucking around to flash the TSOP on a version 1.0-1.4 or fit a mod chip to a version 1.6 then the drive can be used Unlocked. And if you cloning then a stand alone hard drive cloner will work because the drive is already unlocked you can the copy the entire drive games and all.

A quick test with a multi meter shows the the lines you have marked in this pic are conected. Are you having problems with a board? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I would say there will no damage to the main board and you are not the 1st person to do exactly as you have. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

If you have sound from the audio jack next to the HDMI jack then all the connections are correct as the 3.5mm jack is a pass through from the left/right audio in on the other end of the board. Check the setting on your TV Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I have read somewhere the one of the 2 IND bios's versions had some problems with animation so I would try the IND 5003 version and see what happens. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I wonder how many fire's before they but a bandaid on it and a version 1.6 power supply will run at around 45c in standby in open air and probably more when the top is back on. I also wonder why the power supply is not multi voltage input anyway. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

That's correct you can cut the Lframe on the top of the PCB near the Xyclops chip It seem that some people say grounding the D0 on a version 1.6 is bad and may cause damage to the MCPX or the Xyclops chips, But a chip like the Open Xeniun is made to only ground the D0 when required and it allows it to be logic high at all other times. If you cutting the trace there is no need to connect the Lframe or D0 to the mod chip. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

You lost me as soon as you said the pound video adaptors are the best What a load of CRAP Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Problerly best to post a pic of the main board. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

They really only but a bandaid on the problem any way by sending out one of these devices. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Hello harrytooth Welcome to ogxbox.com Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Hello harrytooth I sounds like the power supply you received is the wrong PSU. A version 1.0-1.1 can use a 1.2-1.4 power supply by changing the plug to the main board and the other way around but the version 1.6 has different power requirements. Maybe post a pic of the main board if you not sure of the version you have. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Hello Daver80 What type of AV lead are you using is ti a genuine lead? I would also check the capacitors around the power connector. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Let's pry the heatsink off oops I think I may have damaged it. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I have not seen any real drop in CPU temperatures with new thermal paste, I have tried Arctic Silver 5,Prolimatech PK2,A copper based HY610,Liquid Metal Pads with no noticeable difference in CPU temps,and with the GPU the heatsink the temperature dropped 2c with the new paste so to me that means the heat is not been transferred as well as with the stock heatsink glue. The biggest drop in CPU temp I had was from a longer heatsink that has more fins and that gave a 5c drop and cleaning the fan also helps to keep it cool. If you feel better changing the heat sink paste go ahead and according to the Facesook Experts changing the thermal paste fixes Stuttering on booting,Not booting, Freezing during the game, Random rebooting, like this one in the pic I can clearly see the main power caps have reached the end of there life but one of the suggested fixes for random booting problems was change the thermal paste.

If I was to use the Truhexen disk the I would pick the X2-5035.bin for the version 1.0-1.1 Just DO NOT use the X3-3294 bios's in any thing other than a X3 modchip Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

When you scrape the green enamel from around the via it gives a bigger spot to solder to. I can normally get the solder to take without scraping. I highly recommend to practice on a old circuit board 1st before you try on your Xbox. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

You probably can but the MAX the Xbox can see/use is 2.2tb. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
