Will an LED or resistor draw more power from the board than the capacitor would? If no, then thats a very good solution
Not enough to cause any problems
I read of one person from Facebook mod scene that's had a 1.6 with a LED in place of the clock cap for several years and I have a 1,6 that a has a 220 ohm resistor fitted for at least 12 months and it gets regular use and is connected to the mains power 24/7.
A single LED draws 10ma to 30ma depending on the brightness and can run from a coin battery like a CR2025 for hours.

So you actually use that thing regularly? That is so incredibly damn cool!
Yep while a digital meter is more accurate an analogue meter will give a quick ( almost instant) indication of yes it's X voltage at different points on a board.

That is an OLD analog multimeter! Cool!
I still use a analogue meter, From memory it's about early 1970's

Thank you very much Dave
Any other advice ? Am I need to connect drives for example ? Or just the psu and the motherboard ?
Best regards OGX super team
No drives you just need the PSU and Power Button connected to the mother board.
Have the board turned on and flashing the LED
Cheers

I am very sorry. I do not have a multimeter.
Thank you very much Dave
Oh wait I got one. I do not even remember I got one.
Set the dial to DC 10 volt
Hold the black lead (-) on one of the screws then using the red (+) probe each pin.

Redherring32 (of OpenTendo fame) has been putting in some research into bypassing the need for a clock capacitor on the 1.6 revision Xbox; unlike the prior models a 1.6 will not boot without it. By removing R7P3 and R7P6 current limiting resistors which go to the positive leg of the clock cap and then connecting 3v3 standby voltage to that same leg, you can remove it entirely and still have a functioning system.
So will a 220 ohm resister in place of the clock cap and it's even easier to do.

Did you not see this post

I cutted the lfram, as you did on yours. As the D0 line is probably fried, like that we prevent any sort of bug. Should I solded the D0 of the Aladin to the lfram upper the cut (xyclops side) ? I also solded the bt point on the chip aladin. Maybe that thing is not good anymore. I supposed I will work on the other console too, to check any bad chip. As pretty as I did on what you saw.
Thank you @Bowlsnapper
Thank you @SS_Dave
With the mod chip disconnected and you take a voltage reading from each pin on the LPC port from the top of the board while the Xbox is FRAGING
This is looking at the top of the board and with the front of the Xbox facing you.
Just let us know what each pin has ..

That's sick. I wanna put an LED there now.
You could think of the LED as a standby led.
I might try that in a 1.1 as well just for the hell of it..

thanks to redherring32 we are now able to safely remove the clock cap in a 1.6 rev xbox.
research and testing done by redherring32
Or you can fit a LED in place of the clock cap or I fit a 220 ohm resistor in place of the clock cap and that board has been in regular use for over 12 months

No leakage was ever recorded from this capacitor. Any mod is welcome.
46 minutes ago, prtscn said:black ones leak for sure at 100% rate. But goldies, never seen one.
Well here you go and it's leaking just like the Aerogel version from the component lead and unless you remove it you will not know until it' too late
41 minutes ago, Dtomcat18 said:If it’s a cap. It will leak. So fair to say you seen no gold caps leak yet
Correct..
This is a 20 year old BMW car radio and that has no audio and from the top the capacitor looked fine.
I have also had this style of capacitor leaking.
So if it's a electrolytic capacitor it can leak and cause corroded traces

No, nothing at all. Just that damn christmas light
Which kind of issue that can be ?
Too save me reading all the previous posts
What chip are you using?
Did/Will the Xbox boot without the chip fitted after you added the LPC rebuild wiring?

I looked at the Cerbios.ini and it was only a few lines long. It was practically empty and there was nothing to really edit. What's up with that? I practically NEED the tool, if I'm gonna change anything MEANINGFUL... And I can't even use it because the .net framework wont install properly.
Anything after Windows 7 is garbage.
Have you tried to have the older (2.2.1) version of the config file on C drive.
I tested this with a 2.3.0 on a 1.1 and I edited the IGR and it responded as per the edited config.
The reason for the new config file not having all the options would be they are not really needed as that is normally set in the bios bin file

I could, but I would need to do it for every release. It's a minor issue. I just thought it was a little step backwards. The Cerbios team probably had a valid reason for removing IGR configuration from the ini file.
You don't have to edit the settings in the Cerbios tool with the exception of the UDMA6 setting and you can keep using the cerbios.ini .

Here is the work of today.
Use wires is more difficult for short range
.
Tell me what do you think @Bowlsnapper, please.
I have seen a lot worse and I give you 7/10
The green and blue wires have little too much insulation exposed but if it's working leave it.

What is that leg for and why does it work as a D0?
Are you referring the the yellow arrow?
It's classed as a D0 but you should only use it if you are using a X3, Open Xenium, Xenium mod chip
There is no magic point to safely connect the D0 on a Aladdin mod chip with a 1.6!!

There is the first step. I try the lpc rebuild but I got to tinned a little less that header. Especialy the right of it.
Tell me what you think of that strange brown marks that appeared.
First time I see that. Is that the greeny skin of the motherboard that left ?
Is this board booting to the original bios now?

You need to test the voltages while the PSU is connected to the MB. Check the purple wire for 3.3 volts
Normally the PowOk comes from the mother board to keep the PSU running

In my view wire the LPC like this, The arrow is the D0 from the mod-chip

And here is the rebuild
Where is your D0 wire and ground wire that is shown in a pic from the seller
I never use the re-build board and in the early days the DuoX2 chips came with them I would toss the re-build board in the trash.

My daily driver meter is a Fluke 87v and it has a bar graph that's quick but it still easier to see a needle swing on a analogue meter, I also quite often use a CRO in place of the analogue meter. It really just depends on the job I am working on.
