Hey, I've done a RAM upgrade on one of my consoles (1.4) and it's doing the on/off/on/off/on flash orange and red dance. I've reflowed the chips, scoured them with a magnifying glass for bridging and the rest of the board for splashes, and scrubbed the board with IPA hoping that if it was a splash, it'd be knocked loose, but I've had no luck. I'm at the point where I think it might just be some bad memory, so what would be the best way to remove the chips without damaging or moving the surrounding components?

Was cleaning attic and found old xbox from about 10 years ago, It had xecuter 2.6 solderless chip with pogo pins and D0 wire and 250gb drive , turned it on and it went straight to MS dash, opened up xbox cleaned it out took chip of pin headers cleaned it also resoldered the 3 wires from chip to back of motherboard. Booted up and again loaded MS dash so cleaned and resoldered again and tried and once again went to MS dash. Chip must have went faulty so unsoldered wires and took chip out..So now I have a 250gb hard drive that boots to MS dash. I did have a backup of the eeprom on my old pc back then but that has long gone and do not have any backup eeprom now. So i now have a 250gb hard drive with all the stuff on it and can not access it...Have included a picture of chip that was in xbox the three wires red,green and grey were soldered to underside of motherboard...Is there any way to access the drive which is locked ? Any help

HI there, I am trying to softmod my Xbox using a male joypad to female USB cable + Splinter Cell. The only compatible USB stick I could find at home is an old generic 1GB. The Xbox will detect and format it. Xplorer360 xill detect and write to it. Then everything starts getting weird. I can copy a game save on the Xbox from HDD to USB stick via dashboard. The Xbox will afterwards correctly see it. I can copy the SC game saves on the PC from HDD to USB stick via Xplorer360. And after a disconnect/connect cycle they will still be visible. But neither can see what the other does on the very same USB stick. Xplorer360 doesn't see the old game save and the dashboard doesn't see the SC game saves. I am going slighly mad here, please help!
