Hello all i have a 1.2 XBox that is 128mb Ram upgraded & flashed with the correct bios. A little while ago I installed an Aladdin XT modchip. The EVO bios kept having a 50/50 % chance of finding XBMX4Gamers on f:/ which was too much of a little problem so I removed the modchip, but I kept the wire soldered to the Upside D0 pad and used electrical tape to protect the end. Everything was great until today it just started Fragging unable to complete boot? after a little trial and error I decided to put the modchip back (without connecting D0) and it booted EVO bios to the green flubber! I am totally stuck with what to do? I googled alternative D0 points and can’t find a short (even covering them with electric tape) https://imgur.com/pMhevhQ I can’t visibly see a problem unless there is a leak on points C6D4 or RP6D4 as there was a grease like substance next to them! it just keeps fragging, it even frags once before booting the EVO bios on the modchip! is there anywhere I can send the board in the UK for a specialist to look at it

Hey everybody!! I hope you're having a fantastic day!!! I just opened up my XBOX V1.1 that, (18 years ago) I soldered a single core wire strand through from the back of the board to the top of the board. I cannot recall the specific tech that I was following from way way way back when, but I can't find any sort of photos online covering exactly what I was doing at the time!?? All I can remember from all of this memory delving is the phrase "If the bios is corrupted, then the TSOP will boot from backup", or something to that specific ilk. None of the TSOP bridging points are exacting the nature of what I did. The box was 100%%% operational to previous stock constraints, booting every time that I powered on, without a hitch, stutter or glitch, for about 4 years or so of operation. I did set the clock after each boot (which probably does mean that I still need to replace the clock capacitor), however I cannot see any specific electrolyte leakage on the board surrounding that capacitor, which is interesting. Anyway. I soldered to one specific junction on the back and taped the other end in place on the top - the tape has since disappeared along with the end of the wire that I was passing through the specific through port junction on the top of the board. I don't know where I was jumping the wire to. I can't find anyone doing this specific procedure concerning TSOP/General Repair at the current point? Is this an outmoded repair? Did people just stop doing this? What on earth was I doing? Anyway, the photos are attached, and I'm WILDLY interested to know what memories might be jogged from anyone's experience repairing the OG XBOX after seeing these photos.
