NokSueCow Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 (edited) Does the board have a Serial number? I see a number on the bottom of the board that starts with X, directly under the IDE connector. The only thing I see on top is a number that looks like someone made it with a label maker, by the IDE as well. I'm wanting to catalog them to keep track of the ones I've worked on.

Serial number is stored in the EEPROM. The picoprom can read it. Or troubleshoot your network connection in the MS dash and your mobo serial will show up at the top while it is testng the connection.

The MS Dash Network Test shows the Xbox Serial Number at the top. The board itself doesn't have one? Is X01063-121 under the IDE something else?

arfows Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I use the sticker on top by the IDE, but I don't use the numbers, I just codename each board (usually referencing where I got it or sometimes just cool sounding words) and write the codename in pen on the sticker & then use that when I build my trackers. To me, its easier that way rather than writing a bunch of numbers. I also use that codename for the hard drive and write it on the HD label so that I can find and match the originals should something happen to it before I mod it. I also enter the codename as the system screensaver text in case its installed and I don't want to take it apart to access it. Once the box is fully assembled and I put it in storage, you guessed it, codename along with what version it is, what HD is in there, what mods have been done, OS it is running, and what brand DVD it has goes on painters tape that i put on the top and front of the XBOX. Sorry, that answer kind of got away from me and I rambled, but that's how I keep it all straight. OCD and me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
