Hello all, Looking to get a Working Xbox for my nephew's birthday next month. I have my original modded xbox(1) that stopped working in storage, it has a little corrosion on the mod chips ground. It does nothing when powered. I also picked up 2 xboxes randomly a year or two ago that were thrown out. one (2) boots to a need service error, it defiantly sounds like a broken HDD. The other (3) does nothing like the first one, and has a short in the power connector. You can actually see light coming form under the connector with the top off. I welcome advice and help with where I should focus my efforts and what I should do. I assume that the ground being corroded on the mod chip would probably not produce the no boot? The HDD issue sounds like the easiest fix, can I just swap the HDD from the other non modded box to check if that is the only issue? And then I can just mod that xbox, I have not looked into what that would entail yet. But then the power connector short is probably a pretty simple fix as well. I do have a soldering iron, but was not the person who modded it originally and have little to no experience in that. (1) (the serial sticker is gone.) (2) (3)

Hey all! 10 years ago I bought an Xbox with a modchip installed on. I didn't use it much (meaning I barely used it at all). Lately I decided to dust it off. I started by removing the clock capacitor. From searching around the internets I came to the conclusion that the installed modchip is an Aladin, but the modchip itself doesn't have any identifications on it. My questions are: 0) When talking about BIOSies, are they modchip bios or the Xbox's bios? 1) I have used the HeXEn 2018 disc and I saw that my modchip (or is it the Xbox?) has the EvoX M8 bios. Is this different from the M8+? 2) Should I try upgrading to M8+ (if it is different) and how can I find if my modchip (or is it the Xbox?) has a 256 or 512 KB bios? 3) What does it mean if an HDD is locked or unlocked? (Mine says locked) 4) I found an old IDE HDD 160GB of mine. Can I just put it inside and install a dashboard with HeXEN so I may get the capacity? 5) To go to the custom dashboard I have to keep the power button for a second and during boot it will have an "EvoX" logo on the upper left corner. If I push it momentarily the Xbox starts as the is no modchip installed. Is this going to be a problem somehow? Thank you for your answers!
