The clock cap is a 1F super cap rated at 2.5Vdc. Brand: nichicon The 12Vdc line from the Power Supply Unit (PSU) reads 0.34Vdc or 12 - 0.34Vdc ~= 11.66Vdc. With no load attached to the 12Vdc line, the PSU's protection circuitry may automatically switch that supply level off - thus the 0Vdc reading when only the multimeter is connected to it. You measure 5Vdc at the standby pin on the motherboard's power connector. I think this graphic is in error for the Blue wire (PowOK) in STB (standby) mode. It should read 0Vdc, not 3.3Vdc. The v1.6 Xbox uses 5Vdc for the standby supply level, unlike all the previous vesion PSUs which use 3.3Vdc.

This download is the same application as found in ogXbox.com's download section; however, the files have been extracted from the XISO disc image and all the filler files removed ready to FTP to a subfolder of the Xbox's Apps folder to install it.

AFAIK, the dead zone is automagically adjusted by a particular game if it supports doing so. You can't save it. It's to be done each time a different app is executed. -
Check the settings in the ind-bios.cfg file. The LED colors can be set to different colors in it. Also, the replacement dashboard can change the color(s) used when it runs. When running another app, the LED color should again revert to those set by the BIOS/Kernel configuration.

Upload the eeprom.bin backup file from the other Xbox to the current console's Y:\ folder. Use Chimp 261812 to unlock the 500GB drive using the motheboard's data then in the slave menu locking options use the Y:\eeprom.bin file to lock the hard drive for the other console. Remove the 500GB (SLAVE) connected hard drive and install it as MASTER in the other console.

I suggest running the Controller Test Application and see how the A B X Y button presses register in it. You can use Qwix to extract the content of the XISO (dot iso) image and remove all of the filler (dummy) files that are used to fill up a DVD-R disc when burning the app to media. After extraction and filler removal, upload the file set to a subfolder in your Xbox's Apps directory. You may have to rename the XBE file to default.xbe if not already so named so your replacement dashboard will add the Controller Test Application to its menu.

Game Saves When Upgrading Hdd? Short Question :)
KaosEngineer replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in General Xbox Discussion
NULing the HDDKey most likely broke them if the saves were created before you NULLed it. Swapping HDDs doesn't affect the use of the save but changing the HDDKey does for those that are signed using it. -
I believe the 4 thin traces from outside to inside are: - Power_Button - Eject_Button - Green_LED_Control - Red_LED_Control I may have Red and Green reversed. (more tracing of the signals needed). These LED control signals are raised or lowered to a logic HIGH or LOW by the System Management Controller - PIC processor (v1.0-1.5) or Xyclops chip (v1.6) - and each connects through a resistor (R3V2 and R3V3) to the base of a surface-mount drive transistor (which I believe are PNP MMBT3906LT1Gs at Q2V1 and Q2V2 respectively) located on the bottom of the motherboard near the front panel connector. The collector of Q2V1 through R3V1 and a resistor on top side which then connects to the front panel connector pin number N and M. The collector of Q2V2 through R3V4 and another resistor on top of the PCB to the front panel connector pins X and Y. The emitters of both Q2V1 and Q2V2 are tied to 3.3Vdc. I've not traced out the entire path of these signals as you can tell by the use of N, M, X and Y pin numbers they connect to. Continuing to trace signals below to fill in some of the pin number connections Front Panel Connector Pin Usage - Pin 1 (square pad) - Ground - Pin 2 (below pin 1) - Power_Button (Momentary Normally Open pushbutton) - Pin 3 - Ground - Pin 4 - Eject_Button (Momentary Normally Open pushbutton) - Pin 5 - GREEN_Left_LED to R2G9 to the collector of Q2V1 (???) - Pin 6 - RED_Left_LED to R2G10 to the collector of Q2V2 (???) - Pin 7 - RED_Right_LED to R3V4 to the collector of Q2V2 - Pin 8 - GREEN_Right_LED to R3V1 to collector Q2V1 - Pin 9 - No Connection - Pin 10 - Connector Key - No Pin present It's getting too late for me to try and trace these connections anymore tonight. Q2V1 - green drive transistor Q2V2 - red drive transistor I really need to get both the top and bottom layer images of the v1.1 motherboard combined into two layers of a single image that you can see the through-hole via connections between the top and bottom layers of the motherboard. Image cut from diy.sickmods.net's Hi-res scan of an all parts removed v1.1 motherboard (bottom side): http://web.archive.org/web/20111231000320/http://diy.sickmods.net/Tutorials/Xbox1/Hi-Res_Scans/ This most likely is not going to work but the pins are numbered: 9 7 5 3 1 o o o o o o o o o 1 8 6 4 2 0 It worked, not what I expected. All except for Grammarly messing up the text i quoted from Gorrillasnot.

Not that a picture really matters. The solder needs to be removed to disconnect those three pads from each other. They should not be connected together in any way.
-
Which softmod is installed?
-
No, they need to be unbridged. You at least will have a short between ground and 3.3Vdc (LPC pin 9 - 1st pad below BT) and wherever the 2nd pad below BT connects to if you don't unsolder the bridge. Please post a picture of the bridged connections. Update: I think, not 100% sure though, I tracked down the signal on the corner pad (2nd down) from BT = Ground. It's not good to have 3.3Vdc (first pad down) and ground (second pad down) tied together when you power on the Xbox.

There are game exploit packages that run a TSOP BIOS flasher program instead of installing a softmod. When you boot the game and load the exploit save, it flashes the TSOP, as long as you've bridged the write enable points beforehand. NMS TSOP Flasher 2.0.rar (there is a 3.0 version but the site that hosted it recently went offline - eurasia.nu ) Hacky Rehash TSOP Flash Exploit v1.0 or Highway '007mech Flash Pack.rar. It too was developed and hosted on eurasia.nu but I found an xbins copy. I'm not sure if it is the latest release though. These three seem to be popular. The second, Hacky Rehash, is the latest released on 20100316. There are many other TSOP flashing exploit packages that use the raincoat flashing application.

Whoa, I missed this post ages ago. Changing the version of UnleashX will not delete any files on your System. How is the console modded? Where is UnleashX running from? Press Y and scroll down to the Path and Phy. Location entries. What values are shown for them? UnleashX 0.39.0528A Build 584 is the latest. UnleashX 0.38.0222A Build 572 is the next to next latest bug-free FTP server/client operation version. Rocky5 has a hex edit patched version of the 584 build that gets around some of the bugs especially the FTP client root folder listing bug of the official release. Official Releases: http://the-eye.eu/public/xbins/XBOX/Console Based Applications/apps/dashboards/UnleashX/UnleashX_0_39_0528A.rar http://the-eye.eu/public/xbins/XBOX/Console Based Applications/apps/dashboards/UnleashX/UnleashX_0_39_0222A.rar Rocky5 Patched 0.39.0528A Build 584: https://github.com/Rocky5/Xbox-Softmodding-Tool/raw/master/Extras Disc/Softmod/dashboards/UnleashX.zip

The screensaver is separate from the skin. It is not tied to any changes made to the skin. You'll have to set UnleashX Settings to use a different screen saver. Go to System -> Settings :: System Page :: Screen Saver Section :: Video File to set the path.
-
Here are 10 that I like. A few have Red, Green and Blue variations. Check other threads in the UnleashX Skins forum, there are links to other skins inside some of the posts there. Here are a few more:
-
Check the location where the music and sound files are being loaded from in UnleashX's System -> Settings -> System: Sound and Audio page. Maybe they are no installed on the hard drive at the associated paths for each sound. I'd add the skin to the default skins folder too. Press the Y button when on a menu to show the System Info Page. Scroll down to find the Path and Phy. Location where UnleashX is running from. The Skins folder should be created at that location.

Welcome to ogXbox.com from the end of the world! Too bad parts aren't readily available where you live. A 220V PSU for a 1.6 console is required. Older models won't work in a v1.6 console so make sure it is a v1.6 compatible power supply when you do find one.

Custom Dashboard That Looks Like the Original XBoX Dashboard?
KaosEngineer replied to Hector Hidalgo's topic in Dashboards
Read this thread: -
Clean the flux off the bridged soldered joints and post a couple of new pictures. Show a larger area around the bridge connection than previously posted.
-
One of the bridges must not be making all the proper connections if the TSOP is detected as not being write-enabled. A V1.0 Xbox has one bridge on the top and one on the bottom of the motherboard, not two on the top. https://www.biline.ca/xbox_solder.htm Update: Forget what I said. I miss read your soldered locations. You do have one on top and one on the bottom. Are you sure you didn't break a trace on bottom connection? Wait, it's R7D3 to be bridged on the top? Oh, you have that too. Just a different angle. The solder doesn't look too good looks more like a dab of non-conductive grease.

Check the UnleashX Skins Forum for posts about other skins as well.

All the solder on the pin header connections to the LPC Debug port are just sitting on top of the pin not making a connection to the motherboard. The solder should flow into and around each pin inside the thru holes of the motherboard. If it FRAGs with the modchip connected, D0 is grounded forcing the loading of a BIOS from the LPC attached flash memory device on the modchip. However, the BIOS is not loading thus the FRAG. Reflow all of the LPC pin header solder joints to make a good connection to the motherboard not a ball sitting on top of each pin. See: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guide-excellent-soldering/common-problems

Hmm, not that it should matter as UnleashX's settings are to only be for UnleashX Disable the Enable 480p, 720p and 1080i options. I'm not sure they can be changed when the top line: Video Standard is set to PAL. You might try EnigmaH again, set the Video Standard to NTSC, run the MS dashboard and disable the high resolution modes (you will have to have a high-definition cable connected to see these options to disable them in the video settings), run EnigmaH again to change the video standard back to PAL then try playing a PAL game. It could be a bug in the XDK code that's trying to run a PAL game in high-definition that does not support it. The 480p, 720p, 1080i flags would never be enabled on a standard PAL console as they were not available to use with it.
-
The video settings in UnleashX only work for UnleashX. They do not change the settings used by the console when running a game. Those settings in the MS dashboard are saved to the configuration EEPROM and do control the mode a game will play in PAL or NTSC.

I'm not sure how often the HTTP (Web browser accessible sites) update the content they make available from the XBINS FTP server. The FTP site is still accessible. Go onto IRC EFNet channel #xbins to obtain login authorization and credentials to access it from your favorite FTP client. Or use the Auto-Xbins 2008 Windows application. It does all the work in the background to gain access and contains an FTP client to download the files available there. (My virus detector doesn't like it - Windows Defender so I have to add it to the allowed exclusions list.)
