i'll take a kit pls mate, pm'd you -
Definitely a few bulging caps there
-
what is the date of manufacture? if its a 1.6 it could be the transistor fault
-
if the dvd drive works, you can use a utilities disk such as slayers to reset the hard drive to factory state and make sure it is locked to the console, you should then be ok to desolder the hard mod and any wires and it should perform like an original xbox, however you may be experiencing trace damage if eject/power buttons are acting strange

Hi all, Thought I would offer these out as they are sitting round doing nothing, bought the adapters and cables in bulk a while back and upgraded the adapters (100ohm resistor installed to R4 giving good boot times), used most but still have 5 kits available, comes with: 1 x brand new ATA 133 IDE Round Cable 1 x M03C IDE/Sata Adapter with 100 Ohm resistor pre-soldered at r4 The cables come with the rubber protectors near each IDE connector, I personally cut these off for ease of installation. £15 per kit plus postage (£17.50 posted)

Ive just soldered the alternative 5v to the top of the chip, not pretty but it works
-
Thanks, like I said I have already done the LPC rebuild, so what you are saying is pin 6 of the LPC is 5v constant on a 1.6? and the result of using that just means that the chip is supplied 5v even when the console is off?
-
Hi all, I have a spare x2 chip I want to drop into a 1.6 but haven't got the cable for the alternate 5v, I dont really want to solder to the connector pins on the chip if avoidable, I was wondering if I can just restore the 5v to the LPC and if so should I take it from the normal point (transistor leg by AV port) or is there a point underneath that is usable? I have rebuilt the LPC already apart from the 5v point Thanks

Ive had a good sort out, I have 3 working tsop'd boards f/s, a 1.0 (with gpu fan and controller daughterboard), the other 2 are 1.2 and 1.4 (i think!), all have cerbios flashed to them, £25 ea plus post ppg. Other bits available on request, got 5 decent green jewels, loads of fans, case screws, controller ports, drive cables, front power boards, unlocked stock hard drives, basically anything from the original xbox apart from anything dvd drive or casing related (i do have a couple of plastic bases tho). also have a 1.6 board that has an Aladdin chip fitted, works fine but cant ftp to it for some reason
-
Tried the hotswap, if i try to load x3erase while the x2 is connected, the xbox reboots. If i hotswap to the x3 and then try to run x3erase it just hangs on the loading screen, bugger!
-
Thanks for replies, tried it without the switchboard but no joy. Re the LPC connections, they look fine but I have already touched up all the points / d0 point anyway I swapped it out for an x2 from another xbox and that worked, Ive tried the X3 on the board that had the X2 on and it frags, everything points to the chip itself unfortunately. Ive grabbed the x3erase program but as I am not booting from the X3 I cant see how I will be able to flash it, even if I could flash it im not sure it would help as the backup bios isnt loading either Oh well Ive got a nice faceplate with a switchbank on which may come in handy one day
-
Hi everyone. I got lucky / unlucky with an xbox fitted with an x3 and switch bank (not full face plate), its fragging though, the xbox boots if i disable the chip. I have tried booting into the flash backup bank with power & eject, still frags, Ive,checked and triple checked d0 point, i have even tried grounding the 2 red wires from the x3 power switch board that apparently force the flash bank to boot, still frags, I have tried reflowing the 8 pin header connector solder points just in case as they did looked a bit dry, still frags The light on the switch bank turns blue, then goes on and off in line with the frag, tried a few different switch settings, currently on-on-off-off. For now, I have disconnect the chip and tsop'd the board, but would love to get the X3 working, anything else I can try?

a dead 1.6 is often caused by the transistor issue -
-
Brand new sealed, bargain price of £10
-
I was thinking more along the lines of bending some already springy metal, many years ago I made a metal clip to keep a solenoid secure in a diesel pump, granted it wasn't an xbox heatsink but it did the job, not pretty but..... ok im a bodger.
-
it wold probably be easier to fabricate a working replacement 'clip' from metal
-
the resistor fix works! my resistors turned up this morning, good job i ordered 100 coz the first one i opened pinged off somewhere and vanished, but yeah the fix works!!, so ive got enough resistors to do another 98
-
Well im gonna try it too, ive found the adapters out and R4 is empty on them so ive ordered 100 x 100 ohm surface mounted for the grand price of £1.60 delivered, we shall see!
-
I had this exact issue with some 'm03c' cheapo adapters a while back (and i posted on here about it), never did get it sorted and ive still got the adapters somewhere, so if you do get it sorted please post how!
-
I ordered 5 x jp103's from AliExpress and ALL were dead on arrival, soldering was shocking, one even had a surface mounted resistor missing, seller refunded me but still a bit peeved as I had used them with quite a high success rate before this
-
well done mate, ive got ram, ive got a board waiting, just need to pluck up the courage and find some spare time!

I may have snagged an ebay bargain :)
