Seriously?
-
The color code on the front panel power button stays a solid green?
-
And they work just fine with the mod too.
-
I've only had Aladdin's without the transistor and three of my mods have reflashed properly. If you have a non-transistor modchip, go for it I suppose.

It looks like someone tried to butt smuggle that chip into prison. -

What happened to that modchip? -
Check for swelling or leaking capacitors on the motherboard.

Is the console hard-modded?
-
I wonder if some people don't know that FRAG actually stands for "flashing red and green"....
-
The "coma console" is a very specific symptom. The term coma doesn't just mean "it won't boot". In many cases, XBOX's that exhibit the "coma" signs can be recovered. Just like the term "FRAG" shouldn't be used for every XBOX that won't boot to the dash.
-
Yes. But a failed MCPX isn't to be confused with a "coma console"....they're different things. The MCPX is essentially the motherboard's northbridge chipset....it controls certain functions of the motherboard. If that chip fails, you'll probably not have error checking or error codes to work from.
-
When the MCPX is gone....it's gone. It's the hidden villain when people go poking around probing resistors....following traces.... A voltage spike will kill your motherboard and you'll have no error code or indication that it's the MCPX.
-
You can hard-wire 12v from the power supply and dial the speed you want in with a potentiometer, diode or voltage regulator.

I wouldn't pay money for a 20+ year old IDE drive.... -
Has there been any work done on this console previously?
-
$30 CDN (not including shipping)
-
This is a heatsink from a Socket 370 motherboard, I believe....
-
There are plenty of older socket Intel and AMD heatsink clamps that fit the XBOX. I'm using some old northbridge clamps on mine.
-
FWIW, I doubt the RAM just "went bad". Look for solder blobs or cut traces.
-
Didn't you buy like 80 RAM chips? Time to put that microscope to work.
-
Although trace rot can be caused by a leaking capacitor's fluids, the primary reason for trace rot (which is generally in a specific area of the motherboard) is due to corrosion...because there's insufficient lacquer covering the copper traces. This is probably due to how the board were sprayed in the factory. It's a problem generally not seen on 1.6's so I'd assume they adjusted their manufacture process. I've done trace repair on two of my XBOX's....they were a 1.2 and a 1.4.

Is there a story to go with this video? What are the details?

The XBOX art installer is fake and will never work
