Hey Guys, after a long time I tried to resurrect my box, so I completely reassembled the whole thing cleaned it and it works now. But I've stumbled upon another problem. I tried to flash the chip with the M8_plus 256k bios but everytime it says Flash not writeable. Does anyone have a clue what's going on? Thanks in advance

Yeah, it's a v1. 6 with the Goldcap and I haven't seen any flashing on the eject ring it just shuts off like when you shut off electricity. All I hear is a buzzing on the speaker on the TV when it shuts off. I also resoldered the power connector on the psu since I read it could have a cold solder. But nothing helped.

Hey @KaosEngineer I checked all the traces and the connection seems fine I even checked the problematic transistor and got no drop on the 3.27v but it still shuts off randomly. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance.

So I removed the board and the psu but I found no leakage on any of the caps. And also no corrosion on the traces... Should I try to bypass the traces like in your post here?

Ah well, I just wanted to flash the chip so I start the Xbox it boots and right in the Hexen menu it goes off. After that I have to unplug the power cord and then I can start the box again but the time it stays on is random. Is it a sign of leaking clock cap?
-
So I can just use the Hexen_2018 disc and flash the M8plus_16.bin and replace the HDD and I'm good to go. Thanks for your help

Okay that's good to know. Are there any negative aspects or experiences with this chip? I mean since you noted that it's obsolete. ACan I upgrade the 80gb hdd without problems? and since I have a 1.6 should i remove the clock cap or not? I've read mixed opinions on that.
-
Woah thank you for that reply @KaosEngineer That was helpful. So I think I would remove the chip and replace it with a newer update one. Do you have any recommendations for another modchip?

Hey Guys, here is a pic of the chip. Is this a real Aladdin chip or some other brand? I would be grateful for any help.

Hey Guys a new member here Recently I stumbled upon this forum and thought I could revive my old Xbox. After reading some threads I wanted to know which options I have to update my chipped box. I have a v1.6 and a Aladdin XS modchip but I can't find any information about it. Which possibilities do I have to get this box up to date?
