Moving From Softmod To Modchip

[SS_Dave]

Can you measure the purple marks

you don't need to remove the board

It should read 0 ohm on a multimeter

Power on or off?

[SS_Dave]

test with the power disconnected.

Test on ohm's for a 0 ohm reading between the 2 blue

Then test for 0 ohm between the 2 purple.

track green no continuity

track red continuity

Dave last update, I also welded the point C with the pasta and I also did it badly because I put too much and I was afraid it would touch the point B.
Anyway, I got tired and reassembled everything.
I tried to turn it off and on 3 times and it works properly it turns off and on again properly now I try to keep it a little on let's see if it goes off.
But this I think is another problem the fact that after 10-20-30 min it turns itself off.
But I no longer want to waste time with this xbox.

If it is turning off after about 30mins it might be getting hot, try upping the fan speed or lowering the temp for when the fan kicks in.

Can you post a pic of the power supply.

Can you try a different hard drive as well.

for now everything is working I'm copying files to a 1 TB hardisk

[SS_Dave]

I would check the power supply

I have seen bad solder in the red circles 

 

And this was from a customer that said the Xbox was turning off randomly.

 

The pis are the 5 volt

[archfranck]

yes but for now I am copying files to a 1 TB 1 hour and a half hardisk and it has not turned off, if you were to turn off check that circuit

Disclaimer: 
I take no responsibility if you damage your motherboard, X-Box or person when doing this tutorial. Do so at your own risk. 

It has been pointed out by chunkhead from the afterdawn.com and llama.com Forums that some X-Box motherboards have a corrosion problem on some traces. 
This corrosion is due to some sort of contamination from the factory. 
Due to this corrosion, it was found that some X-Boxes affected can produce the following symptoms: 
(1) The X-Box fails to power down using the power on/off button on the front panel. The power cord has to be pulled out to shut it down. 
(2) As soon as the power cord is plugged in, the X-Box powers up without pressing either the on/off or eject buttons. 
(3) While the X-Box is on for a certain amount of time, it shuts down by itself for no reason. The time factor before shut down can vary wildly. 

These symptoms are identical to mine so I believe that those soldering of A-B-C wires may have solved it

[SS_Dave]

Yes the repair you did is becoming more common

 

The solder on the power supply is also a problem.

 

Just be careful as in side the red box it is high voltage

Example 110 volt in and it can be as high as 200 volt or 220 volt = 300 volt

Dave I thought you were English, instead you are Australian, on the other side of the world.
In fact, I didn't understand why you had that car that I don't know here in Europe ... eheh

I have the same, but I only have the raw image of 2 tb and 500 gb, I miss from 1 tb, so I must first put all the games and then make me a raw image and save it for the next time.

 

ahh ma il tuo è 3.0 and withot pc ahhhh good

 

 

I did not know it could be done without a pc but I believe that with mine it cannot.

my is IDE and SATA and no possible SATA- SATA

Good Night

[archfranck]

dave the xbox the last one works very well, accesses normal, 4 hours via ftp to copy .. all ok.
Now next steo I have 2 xbox 1.6 and 2 aladdin xt plus chips, now I feel safe with soldering on small points, on very small or difficult points I use corrosive paste that seems to work well it becomes hard and glues the wire.
Give me support on how to put the aladdin chip on v. 1.6 with as few welds as possible.
I read, I have some documents, but I always prefer your support ..

 

I already ordered the hardisk copier

The 1.6 is the hardest to chip in the way of soldering as you have to rebuild the lpc.

Remove pin 6 on a 1.6 if you don’t want the modchip led on in standby.

ok i have this document....

With the copier I have a 2tb hard drive that is a working unlocked Xbox HDD that I use as a master and copy to a blank 2tb when I upgrade a Xbox.

 

This is how I mod a version 1.6 Xbox

 

 

The arrow is pointing to the D0 point and it needs to be soldered to the D0 on the modchip and not to ground.

I do not use the D0 wire and I cut the LFRAME trace.

 

I also link the BT on the modchip to ground (Pin 2)

 

I also cut the trace under the yellow line and add a link (green line) from R1 to Pin 9 (3.3 volt).

This way the LED is switched on and off in a version 1.6.

[archfranck]

 

is your 2TB image treated as graphics, or did you just insert all the games into it? .. I saw very beautiful 2 tb footage collected graphically and also as very nice customized dash, but I was unable to download any one in no way and in no site ... Do you know where to download a beautiful and complete one?

[SS_Dave]

I have sent you a PM
