While you have the box apart Clean the fan with a brush and vacuum cleaner. Un plug the disk drive power and power up the xbox and see if it's quieter.

What happens when you disconect the chip and the D0 wire. Also a pic of your work would help.

A quick update on how I did my version of the internal OGX360 adaptor. I modded this way becacause i wanted to be able to use either a wired or the wireless control, I also didn't want to have a separate switch,switches and extra port for the wireless adaptor and it also had to be kid proof plus as a bonus the case is untouched. This is version 2 you don't want to see version 1. Even this PCB could have been made a bucket load smaller but it is version 2. The Video is version 2 in operation. At the monent and when time permits I am working on version 3 that will use all ports including auto switching between wireless and wired. Meaning the ports are all wireless if the wireless adaptor is pluged in but if you plug in a wired controler into port 2,3 or 4 it takes over that port and hopefully it will be all SMD and plug in to the Xbox control conectors internally so no mods to the Xbox and easly removable if wanted. I used 4 pole change over electrionic relay to change the USB lines between the Wired control and reroute the USB signals via Ryzee119's adaptor when the wireless adaptor is pluged in but I had to add a short delay for the power on the OGX360 PCB to make it reliably conect to a 360 control. A sacrifical control extension lead was used to replace the USB lead in the 360 wireless adaptor as shown in the 1st pic. In the intrest of making it as small as posable I didn't use USB plugs but soldered wires to the OGX360 PCB which is heat shinked along with the switching board I made and easly fits inside the Xbox without any cutting. I will post more in time as I progress with this project. Cheers SS Dave

Is it the fan that's making the noise. I have had hard disks make more noise than the fan.

Hi All It took a bit but it's working the way I wanted. All hidden inside the case. I wanted to be able to retain the Original controller or plug in a wireless adapter for the Xbox360 wirless controller. Using Ryzee119's adapter and some switching and making use of the light gun wire I got it working. At this stage it is just the 1st port with the other ports untouched. The only small issue is the 5 second delay before the 360 controller will work after that the there doesn't appear to be any lag between the 2. The video clip should give you the idea of what I wanted. https://youtu.be/rVq23B0gLdU Cheers SS Dave

Like this Then Yes SS Dave

Hi All Any one know what happen to www.eurasia.nu They had a assume download section for all consoles and a online shop as well. The last couple of days I get unable to connect try again later. Cheers SS Dave

The X2lite glue a magnet on the back and use it as a fridge magnet. Cheers SS Dave

The first x3 chip I got would frag but that was because i was holding the power button to long try a supper quick tap to turn on with X3 enabled long press will boot the OEM bios SS Dave

I agree with Magicaldave comments. I have a X3 chip with the LCD in a 1.6 box using a 2tb hard disk. I purchased 4 SATA to IDE adapters from AliExpress and found that 2 worked in the Xbox using a 80way lead and the other 2 only work in a PC. The only reason to go with lower MB (1.0 to 1.5) would be for the extra RAM upgrade. As for the clock I have set a local time sync IP for updating the time and date on boot as all my boxes are networked so clock cap not needed. Cheers SS Dave

Best to replace with new parts but if desperate to get it going you could use parts from a spare PCB. SS Dave

Just my 2bob's worth you say your using a crossover cable. but to me it looks like both machines are looking for the GATEWAY 192.168.1.1 I may be wrong but i would have thought the PC would be IP 192.168.1.101 gateway 192.168.1.100 and Xbox IP 192.168.1.100 gateway 192.168.1.101 SS Dave

Hi nikeymikey Why not use one of these pcb's as it's simple just sit on Xbox LPC and solder. I had heaps of them years ago as they came with the modchips I was using at the time now I just use thin wire to repair the LPC. The wire I use is wire-wrap wire as it's a single strand and very thin. A quick ask Dr Google had this site popped up with some for sale. Here is one of probably many sites with them for sale https://www.game-tech.us/product/lpc-rebuild-board-for-v1-6-original-xbox/ As for your network I am sure you have tried a different cat5 lead or a different device (laptop with a wired network port) in place of the Xbox and also check the settings to make sure Network setup is enabled and set correctly. Cheers SS Dave

I have not seen a faulty Ethernet port what happens when you plug a cable in ? lights on the port lighting up. You could try cleaning the contacts in the port. As for updating the soft mod I am a believer in if it's not broken don't fix it. Personally stick a mod chip in and be done with it. SS Dave

Plus another vote for the new look.

Pretty well any DVD-R disk burnt at the slowest speed you can. Years ago i had good success using DVD RW disks as well. I used to have 1 of each type (DVD+R,DVD-R DVD-RW +/-) as some readers would not read some types. Cheers SS_Dave

Of all the Duo x2 chips I fitted 1 of the banks was for version 1.0 to 1.5 and the other bank was for 1.6 boxes. when in 1.6 mode there was a shield on the top left of the boot screen. I would normally reflash it with my own bios any way. later on i started using the DUO X2 Lite chip as it was a waste having 2 banks for 98% of users.

Must be a climate thing because out of the dozen or more Xbox's I have looked at/have in the last 12 months I have only seen 2 x version 1.1 units with leaky clock cap's and 1 Version 1.2 with bulging caps. SS Dave

Here is one of many places Google is you friend. https://www.mouser.com/Passive-Components/Capacitors/Supercapacitors-Ultracapacitors/_/N-5x76s?P=1yztzayZ1z0wx1k What other caps did you remove and WHY?

For 20 bucks you really can't go wrong. SS Dave

Hi vwboywonder Try using a partition program to change it from XFAT to NTFS. Then do a full/Slow Format. I use AOMEI Partition Assistant but there are plenty others out there. Cheers SS_Dave

It seems that my collection grows every week My version 1.6 Xbox 2TB hdd with Games and Coinop’s installed. Digital audio output mod in AV cupboard. The kid’s entertainment Xbox temp setup. It keeps the kids happy. My 1st HDMI output mod still have to load it up with games. SSD disk experiment in progress. Some of my Xbox’s waiting for some TLC/Mods.

Hi All My user name SS_Dave reflects the car I had at the time I was thinking of a nick name and my name. I have been doing basic repairs and mods to the original Xbox's since their release and at one stage I would get at least 1 or 2 Xbox’s a week to be modded and or upgraded HDD fitted in my spare room. I would get machine’s that owners had tried to mod to get going as a lot of other modders would not touch a already opened box and I would have a 95% success rate of getting it running again. I did get a lot of untouched boxes as well. I also used to keep some Hdd's in stock (In the beginning 120gig was the most common due to the cost) for upgrades as well the owner didn’t have to wait for a delivery from interstate computer parts suppliers. Dr Google lead me here while looking for Xbox info and I hope to be able to help others in their quest to get there original Xbox's up and running. Cheers SS_Dave
