This is just the modchip that probably died when the D0 line burried up. The file is about the first console, which now have a dead D0 line from the frag while I was playing and I try to make much more better soldering to make sure there will be no issue in the future. The lfram is now cutted by the way, as the line is probably fried indeed, but I supposed like it won't cause any sort of bug. I will double check the board and solder a lpc rebuilder today, then put another chip on it (an Aladin with a evox that I know she work, I do not use it because I cannot flash it with the console ) (for now it doesn't matter). Best regards Please don't use a 5 dollar evox aladdin from aliexpress. It will die and you can't flash it because the SST flash is a bullshit counterfeit. You stated that, too. Please buy a chip from somebody here, or get an xblast from ebay. It'll work fine and it'll be worth the money. Or just get the Sweetdarkdestiny TSOP flash kit and use the softmod kit to flash every TSOP you come across you won't have to buy modchips anymore! ... unless it's a 1.6 of course 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already purchase another one. I just want to try and see if she now works after that. I decided finaly to use wires, as I bought too some solder mask to put on. corrosion is not allowed in my house, and use the pcb won't allowme to put solder on it after I solded it. I get that console last year, she was sell because hdd break, for spares or parts. The shields were very corroded, so much because it seem a liquid was drop on the console. Nevermind... I won't let that console die. I swear . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. I agree with Dave: I have seen MUCH worse and you did perfectly fine. You cut the wires to the proper length and your soldering looks good! There is a little too much bare wire exposed on a couple of the wires' ends, but if that worries you, cover them with tape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @Bowlsnapper Thank you @SS_Dave I will try the boot today as you say it seem to be done ok First of all, that is practically a NOS RF shield. Looks like it was just manufactured. Secondly, be careful removing the bottom shield. When I tried it, It resulted in interference when using component cables. Composite and S-video were fine. It's a good thing I was using those cables when I tested! If you want to keep grounding at the bottom, which is usually what causes interference (not having it), just cut the bottom of the shield off so you can have the motherboard sit on it. Then you won't be able to see it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. No, nothing at all. Just that damn christmas light Which kind of issue that can be ? Do you think I should change the NV2A or the Celeron ? I was playing, everything could happened after all. The sad is that it will be difficult now to understand what happen exactly on that thing. By a strange fate, I obtain a died motherboard because of a dumb modding. It was a gift for spares parts from a friend. It was a 1.6 with a Samsung, I was really happy at that moment because parts of the samsung drive allow me to restore the second console I mentionned previously on that topic. I have a complete componant set for 1.6 since that day, with my hot air station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't boot, with or without a modchip. She frag while I was playing, a xenium ice fried on the same time, after the lpc rebuild I try it with an aladin. Just to check if it is ok. You told me the job is 7/10 ok (I printed that ). Never more than the christmas light since the initial frag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cutted the lfram, as you did on yours. As the D0 line is probably fried, like that we prevent any sort of bug. Should I solded the D0 of the Aladin to the lfram upper the cut (xyclops side) ? I also solded the bt point on the chip aladin. Maybe that thing is not good anymore. I supposed I will work on the other console too, to check any bad chip. As pretty as I did on what you saw.

Thank you @Bowlsnapper Thank you @SS_Dave Cutting Lframe entirely makes it impossible to boot stock. For diagnostic purposes, I would reconnect it, or do so with a switch so you can see what's what. And ground the Lframe... Just long enough to see if it will boot. Take it from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
