HyPeRcOoLeR Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Hi guys. I have a Xbox 1.0 with cheapmod (LPC Based SST49LF020) (Bios: Xecuter2 4983.67) and after i won't turn on the console for 1 or 2 days i always end up with Error 07 HDD Timeout. I tried out with 3 HDDs and i always get the same results. The interesting thing is if i unplug the IDE Cable and plug it back it boots without a problem, but after 1-2 days it's starts to act up. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NokSueCow Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Ide or Sata hdd? If sata, what adapter, and you using an 80 wire? Does the dvd drive work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartigan Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Please provide all of the extra details as you can. Along with the questions in the above post, did you mod this yourself? Have you checked to see if all of the cables all seated properly? Error 07 could mean something is disconnected or your HDD is on its way out.

Any idea? Make sure all of the IDE connectors are fully seated in all of the devices: motherboard, DVD drive and hard drive. Verify that the hard drive is being powered with the correct voltages by the power supply. With a multimeter, measure the voltage level between the Yellow and black and red and black wires of its Molex power connector. What values do they read? Is it an IDE hard drive or a SATA hard drive with an IDE-to-SATA adapter? What brand and model of hard drives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyPeRcOoLeR Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 (edited) I bought this box with the modchip pre installed. The HDD Is a IDE 250GB Samsung SP2514N (I tried with other IDE Drives and same problem after while) IDE Cable is fully seated in. The DVD Drive works fine. Measurements: Yellow-Black 11.1v RED-Black 4.7v. I Guess the RED-Black is too low, but interesting that it works after i replug the IDE Cable. Thank you guys for the help.

Voltages for the hard drive usually have a +/- 5% or 10% tolerance. 5Vdc range: 5 + 0.25 = 5.25 Vdc maximum to 5 - 0.25V = 4.75 Vdc minimum 12Vdc range 12 + 0.6V = 12.6 Vdc maximum to 12 - 0.6V = 11.4Vdc minimum To me, both required voltages for operation of a 3.5" hard drive are a bit too low. You'd need to check the specs of the specific hard drive to see what the hard drive's power supply tolerances are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tells me that there's something pulling too much current on the IDE bus until after the hard drive has finished spinning up. There are most likely bad caps and or resistors on either the hard or DVD drive's controller boards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyPeRcOoLeR Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 Do you know where those capacitors located? Thank you for your help btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be a bother, but are you able to explain why these failing components would result in higher current draw? Is something behind them pulling more current as a result? I am in electronics classes and I feel the answer may be interesting if you have the answer. @HyPeRcOoLeR +1 for the CRT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the resistors or a capacitor shorts, more current will be drawn. Caps; however, I believe will open instead of short when they go bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyPeRcOoLeR Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 UPDATE: I tried out with a different DVD Drive, it looks like the problem has been Fixed Sadly the the previous drive was a Philips and the "new" one is a Samsung but finally i won't get HDD Timeout after a few days. Thanks everyone for helping especially KaosEngineer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
