Hellraiser988 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Is the cpld supposed to get hot to the point you can burn yourself I don't feel temperature but my finger tips almost went numb touching it which ever happens with my other Xenium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Modz_UK Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 they will get slightly warm but they should not burn your finger. it sounds like the CPLD could be on its way out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellraiser988 Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 Yeah it was working before just fine even flashed PrometheOS to it as a preset up for someone then it just stopped working only giving a red light on the Xenium and then a frag on the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew that much power was going through the LPC, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, try to uncross the wires. Try to avoid them going across each other either above or underneath. Apparently the signals going through them are sensitive enough for this to be an issue. I have seen @KaosEngineer state this, however, if I am wrong, please correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SylverReZ Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Likely the CPLD is getting hot because its faulty. Its a good idea to swap it out with a donor or new chip, then reflash with the OpenXenium SVF code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlsnapper Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I do have the SVF file for the openxenium if you are interested. @Hellraiser988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
