Xeniumerc Install (Xerc 2.1) - Eventual Success

[Bowlsnapper]

I have the Xerc 2 from Nemesis and I have a 1.0 I'm putting it in. I'm just wondering what the motherboard pinout is and what all is necessary. I found a video for the 2.0 xerc Install, but I need to know the 1.0 power pinout to hook it up. I cannot find install instructions for the xenium version at ALL.

I actually found it in the video, but I have no idea which wires coming from the IR molex are IRD, IR- and IR+. There's red, white and black. wires pluggin into the IR module. Also... aren't I missing the HDD activity wire? Isn't that what the blue LED is?

Also, there's only one SL contact on the xerc, but the wiring diagram mentions SL green and SL red. WTF? @NeMesiS

Edit: I think I'm being stupid and need to use common sense. IR + should be red, IR- should be black, and IRD, logically since it's the only one left, should be white.

Wow.

Still need to figure out the SL wiring thing, though.

Edit: After I ended up making multiple retarded posts, Nemesis was kind enough to point me in the right direction. Couldn't find it with a search engine.

What does green or red signify? The eject led and how you have it set up to be what color

I think it fades the power/eject leds on and off when in standby. You can choose to have it pulsing red or green

Well, it's installed, and the eject light pulses. And when I use the remote, the LED lights up as expected, But pressing display does not power on the unit. I failed... Again. Now I need to figure out why the power leads/wires are not working as expected.

Edit: fuck that. I didn't fail. Something's wrong. My soldering is fine.

(Edit 2: Well the soldering was fine... But the location wasn't!)

 

I cycled the power with the power button, and now that the unit is off, the eject LED is blinking 3 times, then repeating. Diagnosis?

I can now also see it blinking just barely and making the LED brighter when the three blinks occur and the power is on. Great. Probably broke something else now... Unplugging and re-plugging in brings the xerc back to normal slowly pulsing LEDs.

@NeMesiSEdit: the blinking was probably the Xerc 's way of telling me, "Hey! I can't find the power button, dumbass!" Lol.

I am the stupidest man alive... I soldered it to the controller inputs, not the panel inputs. Lol.

 

Hang on! Hope I didn't fry it with USB power!

Thanks for the toy, Nem. I'll get the rest done shortly. @NeMesiS
