ganjo Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I cant seem to get this one working. Installed header and I have tried wiring D0 to GND and D0 on the Aladdin but I get a FRAG. 1st mod chip gives me FRAG when using GND or D0 pad. 2nd mod chip give FRAG when D0 grounded but boots stock dashboard when connected to Aladdin D0 pad. BT point on Aladdin is grounded. Did I miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganjo Posted October 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I actually forgot to ground RT on the second board. It now turns on to a solid green light and I get no signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Some pictures of your header / do install would be helpful. 6 minutes ago, Bowlsnapper said: No signal meaning... No video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really the bt contact shouldn't even be needed. I never use it... Unless non Xblasts need them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChriZz Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Wasn't it the case that the power button had to be pressed for longer than a second to start Aladdin? Xbox then lights up orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubbanubba Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 are you sure that ground wire is connected to the D0 on the modchip? looks to me like it's connected to the X portion??? additionaly one of the pinheaders are sloppy soldered. but it probably has ok connection.

If you could take a picture with all the pins present on the underside, it would be more complete. @ganjo Yes, a couple of the pins are looking mighty empty. It looks like you are trying to avoid excess, but it's better to have too much than too little, as long as there is no bridging. Add some solder there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, D0 is clearly marked on the top of the chip, but D0 should still work when grounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain which pin header looks sloppily soldered? I would have updated this yesterday but I can only post 2 times per day. I finally got it working. I forgot to ground the RT line on the second board I tried. I am now having other issues. I can ONLY run evox dashboard. Ive installed and reinstalled all dashboards multiple times and it just hangs at the boot logo if I use anything other than evo. Yes, I used the tool to change the default dashboard each time. Im trying to re-flash this card as it was built without LBA48 support. I created a bios folder on every drive and put the bios in it and when I go to the flash bios option nothing shows up. Can I use the flashing tool in the xbox soft modding toolkit ISO or is there a better one? I do have a eeprom programmer if needed. Its take 2-3 boots to get video displayed after its been unplugged from AC power. No signal on TV 1 or 2 times then the dashboard finally boots. Holding the power button changes nothing and neither does using the eject button. Not sure if this is another issue but half the time I boot the dashboard shows BIOS : Unknown, it does show kernel version 1.00.5838.01 Is there some special way to burn AID? I've tried with and without adding in the addon packs but it never boots or runs. Xbox soft modding tool, slayers, hexen all worked fine. I've seen various people say you HAVE TO use a 80 pin IDE cable with SATA disks but mine works fine with a 40. Will I run into some problems later? Is there any advantage of using an OG Xbox over a corona/trinity RGH Xbox 360? Seems like an endless list of problems so far and I havent even gotten to ripping or playing games. I hope I got in all my questions I can only respond once today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubbanubba Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 all i got to say is, repair what i stated, and it should work. like pinheader 7. and on the modchip connect the ground to D0 instead of X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like some may not even be making contact with the pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
