Xbox 1.0 Boots 3x then Red and Orange flashing lights, can it be saved?
Marty replied to Naked Newt's topic in Repair
The RAM chip on the top of the board, nearest to the AV port.... On the side oy that RAM that's closest to the AV port, there are two pins in the middle of that row that might have a spec bridging them. It appears that way in two separate pics.... -
If your chip is wired properly and it functions, you should be able to cold boot an installation disk like Hexen or similar. To be honest, that soldering looks rough.....
-
We believe in you, Snapper. Good work.
-
If the caps haven't had current running through them or have been in charge/discharge cycles, I'd say they're in good shape....with the tiny possibility that they've dried out....which is rare.

You don't split 1mb BIOS files. You split the TSOP chip with a BIOS flasher. If you want a 4-way BIOS option, you'll need to wire your XBOX up for a 4-way split and flash 4 individual 256kb BIOS files. Not sure why you'd want 4 different BIOS options though....

That soldering is a nightmare....

wow.....

substituting original Xbox DVD drive with PC DVD drive?
Marty replied to Tartarus's topic in General Xbox Discussion
It will boot burned disks and boot disks like Hexen's or OGXboxInstaller....it just won't work on retail disks. -
A NAS drive on your LAN running Samba would be so much more practical and accessible by other devices....

substituting original Xbox DVD drive with PC DVD drive?
Marty replied to Tartarus's topic in General Xbox Discussion
Yes. With a chipped or TSOP'ed system, you can boot disks from an IDE drive. You'll need a molex power splitter and put the drive in SLAVE mode (Try CABLE SELECT second if SLAVE doesn't work). -
See if you get the same behavior with a UDMA2 BIOS. Also, have a look at the motherboard caps. Maybe take a pic.
-
Is it a brand new drive?

SSD having to format after removing IDE cable
Marty replied to Felipe_Desenvolver's topic in Hardware Mods
I wouldn't buy gear like this from anyone other than a reputable seller. -

Please bring this board to someone with modding experience and have them clean it up and install a modchip properly.
-
There are no "bad, Chinese fake RAM modules". That gets thrown out a lot, but I'd like to see the soldering work anyway.
-
The preferred method is to flash the XBlast BIOS, then check every RAM individually as you install them one by one. Order of installing the RAM into slots doesn't matter.
-
Lets see some pics of your wiring.
-
Why would the DVD drive make the console glitch? Can you boot into Xell by starting the machine with the EJECT button?
-
Using a Microsoft XBOX controller, or third-party controller?
-
There is some serious damage to a resistor below where the clock capacitor used to be. What happened?
-
I burned the same disk. Worked fine.
-
I've always heard it referred to as the "29 Wire Mod".
-
Good job, Snapper.
-
Give your board a good visual inspection and always clean your work.
