Or just the psu and the motherboard ? Best regards OGX super team No drives you just need the PSU and Power Button connected to the mother board.

Yep while a digital meter is more accurate an analogue meter will give a quick ( almost instant) indication of yes it's X voltage at different points on a board.

My daily driver meter is a Fluke 87v and it has a bar graph that's quick but it still easier to see a needle swing on a analogue meter, I also quite often use a CRO in place of the analogue meter. It really just depends on the job I am working on. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Tell me if I can proceed to test now. I am very sorry for the wait of these recent days, but, you know, real life can be really invaded somehow by things of the virtual life. Like work or bills, you know. Best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the pictures you have posted there is nothing wrong with that trace repair and that is a extremely neat job Have you tested the Xbox to see if it boots to the original bios?

Akumakage Posted July 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Ok Here are the results. I supposed my analog multimeter is old (not like yours are old, I mean mine should be a little unprecise). To contrary, as high is the results I obtain, the higher the unprecision is high. There is even some proportionality between the results and what I should obtain. So I think we can consider 2.5v is equal to 3.3v and 4v is equal to 5v. Blame the stuff... I do not understand why "disconnected" pins gave signals, but maybe it is just about the LPC. I do not know, just an idea from me. I very check double time, each pins, because I was really surprise. So I supposed here are the results. I hope these results give some informations to you guys. I can do it a third time if you wish. As it seems, the only really disagreement come to the pin number 16. The console now boot, as the previous pic show a scrambled screen of the clock setting page (yes I can recognize that indeed ^^). I do not understand that too, because before the cut of LFram she didin't boot. In brief, desperately ^^' haha best regards nice sunday Draw_Comp_Keymap_Akume.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version 1.6 has a PSU that is unique to that board only The 1.0 -1.1 has the same voltages as a 1.2 - 1.4 just the plug is different Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave Yup I saw that. "Orange voltage" is too high to fit with another blend. There is still good things to do, even helas not for mines ^^'. I have two 1.6 psu, I will check both and try the other one on our console repair file ! By the way, do you have clue about why now she can boot to give this scrambled screen ? Is the only D0 line that fried was this tiny trace near the xyclops ? Why the modchip seem to died that way either ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Dave I check both 1.6 PSU I have. All the results are consistently low. The difference is always the same, so everything match even if they are low. I supposed we really have to blame the materials to check the results. I swear, the other psu I have work good. I ckeck him with the other console I talked about in that topic, which can boot and totally work in retail and is now fully de-modded ( because I want that like so ). I used the shield as a ground for the multimeter while I was keeping the motherboard with my hand and the red checker with the other one (the ground was keep with mobdylene, it work). I know the results are low, but they really are proportional, with different machines and working psu. I guess the problem is somewhere else. What do you think ?
