Hello All
I bought a faulty chipped 1.6 off of ebay.
I removed the LPC rebuild board and I notice a pulled contact. I think I've managed to retrace it, I checked continuity and it was OK and it booted! See attached picture.
I don't want to use the rebuild board but I am going to do a wire rebuild.
There are lots of pcitures around with various wire rebuilds. Some use slightly different wiring and state a rebuild for Aladdin or Xenium. Are all rebuilds all the same for every modchip, so I can follow any of them?
Also, I am quite nervous of trying this as it took a lot of patience to do the retrace. Should I use a glue gun or polyimide film tape to make sure the retrace doesn't come loose or am I tempting fate and should just leave it alone?
Are there any points I could use instead?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m new to anything to do with mod chips on the original Xbox so my apologies if I sound like a complete noobie.
I recently purchased a Xbox of Facebook market place that has a DuoX2 (blue) mod chip installed. When the console boots is has like a green logo in the top left and Slayers 2.7 underneath the Xbox logo at the bottom of the screen (I’ll add a photo to explain what I’m talking about). Then it boots into evolutionX dashboard I believe.
I’ve dabbled with soft modded Xboxes before and wanted to take a crack at a mod chipped one but I’m worried I’ll brick the console if I just try and re flash bios and install a new dashboard. So long story short, is it possible to update the bios on the mod chip to someone a little more recent like EvoX M8 or something? The Xbox is 1.4 console. I opened it and cleaned the console of dust and re did the thermal paste and fixed the DVD belt prior to wanting to update the dashboard and mod chips Bios.
I'm trying to play Brute Force using the Cxbx-Reloaded emulator, I have the default.xbe file, but when I try to start the game, a popup window shows up and says 'Unable to determine default xbox backbuffer'. 1; What does it mean? and 2; How do I fix it.
