OGXbox Admin Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Anyone else notice the solder splash containing a resistor and c7d2 tombstoned with a possibly lifted trace? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing on the left looks like an errant SMD resistor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffl Posted December 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 I found a spare v1.4 that I didn't realize I had (is now the time to admit that I have a problem?). The IC legs that Fringle pointed out are also bridged on that board. The spec near C6D4 that OGXbox Admin pointed out is no longer there. The suspected tombstone looks the same on the other v1.4 board. After applying new thermal paste to the CPU and GPU, the behavior is now dependent on whether the system has warmed up. 1) If cold booting, the console attempts to 3x boot before FRAGing. 2) If system has warmed up, I get flashing orange and then power off. I've attached a picture of the temperature IC at U6F1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 I would start by cleaning that board. It's filthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There DOES look to be a LOT of electrolyte damage... Unless that's just dust. In which case, yes, it could use a little cleaning. @jeffl That thing has some problems. Maybe the heating thing and the frag are two different problems. I have no idea what they could be though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffl Posted December 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Do I have additional troubleshooting options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 You could inspect every via, trace and solder joint under a microscope.... ...but it would probably be easier to pick up another XBOX and be more careful with your next mod. Sounds like this one is "for parts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
