Are you saying that that's where you got the idea for the ground switch? Buy a shit ton of these s you always have them https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JRWCBU?psc=1&smid=ASGOPLX5TLJL1&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp You're welcome yeah those would be great. good idea. yeah whoever installed the chip wasn't very good at soldering. you should see how it looks now. I cleaned everything up and was even able to reuse the d0 they fucked up. consoles runs great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TelaKeppi Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Just a little update to this, since this thread was the first hit for me in Google for a "green LED" in regards to Stellar. Indeed the flex cable was the issue, after installing completely new flex cable the HDMI board started working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed the flex cable was the issue, after installing completely new flex cable the HDMI board started working. This drove me insane. At first I had the HDMI cable plugged in and the flex cable was the issue. However... After I fixed the flex cable... I NEVER PLUGGED THE HDMI CABLE BACK IN LIKE A TOTAL RETARD! I sat there reflowing things I never needed to and then finally went, "Hmmm... I wonder if the light is blinking because I don't have the cable plugged it. Worked right away. I was so focused on the blinking light that I never actually powered on with an HDMI cable plugged in! DOH! Glad you found your answer here. And glad you got it going.

At one point the whole console was acting up really weird, flashing orange, fan 100% then powering off. All the symptoms pointed to somewhere else and I even went ahead and replaced ADM1032 but to no avail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be totally lost if that happened too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this day and age, proper knowledge of OG Xbox debugging is either non existent or lost media. Everything related to either FRAG or orange flashing in Google was either waste of time or inaccurate. Replacing the ADM1032 was the only thing it could have been since its a older rev 1.0 but apparently orange flashing can be a just a general error.
