Hi guys, I posted over at the subreddit but figured I would get more eyes here: The og Xbox is a v1.0 and I rebuilt the stock HDD with Xboxhddmaker after a failed softmod clone months back. I created my own EEPROM reader following Slot1Gamers helpful video to get the HDD key. More info is in the reddit post, but it might be TL;DR. The fact that this thing is artifacting makes me think it is a hardware issue like the GPU and/or CPU just sh$% the bed or something? The lone suggestion was to reball / reflow the board. Has anyone had similar issues and this solved it? Is there a schematic of a v1.0 board that I could use as a checkoff list if I go the reflow route? i suppose I could just take a photo and mark off areas in MSPaint or something... any tips? https://imgur.com/PCx5bff https://imgur.com/CPG979H Things to note are: - I removed the clock cap https://imgur.com/7C4PWBZ - I repaired Trace A of corrosion damage (B, C, D, E all check out continuity) https://imgur.com/eVqgBYI - I removed factory thermal compound and replaced with ArcticSilver5 Cheers guys, I want to fix this thing!
