This may be of interest to some. It saves having to Soft-Mod to flash the TSOP.
I know is low quality video but you should get the idea

Damn that looks rough. I guess i got lucky with my 1.4. Havent had any caps leak and i got a nichicon clock cap.
Yet.
All Cap's made in the last 30+ years are going to fail and some will also leak. Blame cheap manufacturing and poor copy's of the capacitor's original design .
There is case's of the gold clock cap that your Xbox has and the version 1.6 has now leaking .

It's no good asking me about Soft-Mods as I don't do them and I don.t use the Hexen Disk as well.

I was typing at the same time you where edting
You cant have a Soft-Mod and a Hard-Mod/Re-flashed TSOP running at the same time.You can install a dash from Hexen disk.

Have you tried to boot the Xbox the from the DVD you have made.
The Bios you flashed is probably looking for the boot file in a different location.

Hello mutantlittleman
Remove the Clock cap and give the entire board a clean with isopropyl alcohol and brush like a tooth brush the dry using a hair drier or heat gun on low.
It's also a good time to clean the fan as well.
While waiting for you new cap to arrive you can flash the bios and have a play around.
I am still testing the Xblast from the games save method but the rest is working fine and i could sent you a drop box link.
What game do you have 007 Agent Under Fire or Splinter Cell?

I think so as well.
I have seen crystals with painted cages and they look good as well if you not going for the untouched look .

You need to upload some pics of the mother board as it may be repairable.

Wow, inspiring work, it looks amazing! And I can't believe you did it so quickly

Did I understand correctly that you painted the metal shielding black? I'm really curious what the reason behind that was.
It had some light rust so it got a light sanding a coat of black because that's what I had at hand on the night.

I will see what happens with the next one I have a 2nd one that's just as bad from the same place (The rubbish tip recycle center at $10 each) along with some not as bad.
That's some of the work to be done.

Have you tried to reflash the Aladdin mod chip with Xblast?

Have you re-flashed the Aladdin mod chip and is it working correctly for you?

The exploit i mentioned is like the Splinter cell one but uses different games and by-basses the soft-mod crap.
I don't have SC to test but I think I have a way of flashing from Splinter Cell as well.
The 007AUF one I have modded to also allow you to load XBlast as well, I am testing on different Xbox's at the moment but as UN-modded one's in my house are a bit like the 1.5 version (they don't exist) it taking a bit of time.
If you reasonably good at soldering then fitting a mod chip in a version 1.6 is not to bad you do need to add some links to undo MS's attempt to stop the modders but that's not that hard to do.
As for the install disk you can use Hexen but I have a dislike for that one and I use Slayers install disk.
All the Aladdin chips for sale today are the same and all come from China with a BIOS that will boot a version 1.6.
This is a version 1.6 I added the links to around 10 years ago.
boot screen tools screen Xblast boot screen
Screen shots of my 007 AUF in use on my test Xbox that's also using a SD card instead of a HDD.
If you need to you can FTP to and from the Xbox and save any thing on the old drive also unlock the drive in-case you plan on reusing for some thing else and of coarse reflash the TSOP or Mod-Chip via Bios files on the hard disk or flash via the network.

Hi mutantlittleman
Welcome to the forum.
With the version 1.1 Xbox before you reflash the BIOS remove the clock cap replace all the main electrolytic cap's, replace the CPU and GPU paste and clean the entire mother board with isopropyl alcohol and a brush (tooth brush works well) and while you have the Xbox in part's replace the drive belt in the DVD drive and clean the laser pickup with a q tip/cotton bud moistened with isopropyl then once you have tested it then reflash the bios.
To reflash the bios I use a game exploit that works with the 007 Agent Under Fire or the Mechassault (The non online version only)game. It's done by adding the TSOP flash enable points the copy the game save to the hard drive load the game disk select the game save then flash the BIOS. Once that's done install your new hard drive and boot the Xbox with a Install disk and away you go.
With the hard disk I have a preference for the Western Digital Black series or the Blue series but the choice is up to you just don't you the power save versions like the green series.
For the Version 1.6 I would fit a mod chip when you look at the cost $4 usd it's not worth stuffing around with soft-mod's for that the only catch is some soldering skills are needed.
Then it's the same as the version 1.1 swap the hard drive for a new one then boot your install disk and away you go.

A Pc can not reed a Xbox disk so once you have burnt the ISO to a DVD a computer will report that the disk is blank, stick it in your modded Xbox and away you go.

I plan on it been a classic stand up style (Frogger ,Space invader, 1942 etc etc) the old school games with maybe with some sort of video jukebox app as well.
I always link the BT to ground as there is no need to boot the MS bios any more with the close of Xbox Live and by not needing the MS bios you don't need to lock the drive.
The only time I fit a mod chip in the 1.0 to 1.4 is for testing and then when I have finished I reflash the TSOP chip, If it's a version 1.6 then the chip stays fitted
People rubbish the slayer install disk and say you should only use Hexen be cause it's the latest but if it is not broken then don't fix it Shite even a lot ATM's are still using a MS XP verant
And I think slayers has a cleaner install, less crap on the drive.
The Slayer 2.7 was the last release from slayer that's this one

Set the write speed as slow as possible and I use verbatim DVD -r with good results.

The DVD drive in the Xbox's can be supper picky regarding the disk's is will read.
I have found the DVD-R verbatim disk's seem to work for me when to write them at the slowest speed you can.
I have heard the some drive will only read DVD-rw disk's.
if you have it booting with the new dash you can FTP all the files you need, What files are you wanting from the Hexen disk?
SS Dave

What dash are you using.?

My 20 cents worth I use the Nichicon brand with no problems.

No all your files will be safe.

Have a look at XBlast
You can change from Pal to NTSC and reflash your BIOS as well as backing up your eeprom, lock/unlock your hard drive etc etc
