SS_Dave Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 There Aladdin modchip has 3 modes put it depends on if the led wires were connected. The write protect on or off should no make any difference though what game's are you having problems with and are they DVD or hard drive . Modes: Off - Tap the power button and the Xbox starts as normal with the original BIOS.On - Press and hold power button for 1 second and the Aladdin XT is activated.Writeprotect - Press and hold power button for 2 seconds and the Aladdin XT is activated in flash write protect mode.Visual Mode Indication: The power LED will indicate the current mode by different colors.Off - Green (Normal) / Orange (HDD access)On - Orange (Normal) / Green (HDD access) Writeprotect - Continuous flashing Orange/Green Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

aries Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I have tried several times nothing to do, I have verified are 4 wires connected from the chip to the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Can you post a pic of the insides of the xbox both power supply and main board as I am thinking capacitor failure may be the cause or the hard drive is failing or the files a seriously corrupt. If you can test a differant hard drive. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

KaosEngineer Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 If games are hanging on startup, delete all of the files/folders in the X, Y and Z drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as KaosEnginer has mention delete the contents of the 3 drives 1st and see if that sorts it out.

aries Posted April 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) The 3 drive are cleaned, the caps removed and replace with new one? what problem cause this cap? asks you every time you turn on to set clock? I do resolder 3 points and the bridge for TSOP flash. Edited April 28, 2020 by aries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 OK you just remove the cap in the red circle as it will not be doing it job any way and it can leak a corrosive liquid the will cause damage the the copper traces. This is from a Version 1.4 that was sent to me for repair because it would not power on at all because the copper traces had damage from the leaking cap. In this pic you can see it looks OK from the top but you can see the corrosion on the bottom of the cap. The clock cap would only retain the time and date with the power disconnected for about 2 hours anyway.

SS_Dave Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 I would resolder the chip and the TSOP enable points while the board is out of the case as it gives more room around the chip to work with your soldering iron. Then reassemble the Xbox and try deleting the contents of X,Y,Z drives and see if it come good. Then we can see about flashing the TSOP.

KaosEngineer Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 The BIOS currently flashed to the modchip must not have the Err16 fix. Do you know which BIOS/Kernel version it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaosEngineer Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Does the console show an Evo X shield in the upper left-hand corner of the screen when you power it on with the modchip enabled? The thing I hate about the BIOSes developed by EvolutionX is they left the version number the same as the stock MS BIOS they were based upon.

Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. When press the eject button (console off) DVD tray opens and the original console starts. Removed the cap and cleaned hard disk cache,but the problem occurred again, I bought a new OpenXenium modchip as soon as it arrives I remove the old one and put the thermal grease to the CPU and GPU..........I'll keep you up to date and have to fix other XBOX consoles.

KaosEngineer Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 K: 1.00.5713.01 isn't a kernel version for Xecuter2 BIOSes. The console must have been booting the stock BIOS. Press the power button and hold it for longer than a second to boot the modchip's BIOS. You should see XECUTER2 below the big X at the end of the startup animation. After getting the modchip to boot, what is the Kernel version? IIRC, UnleashX shows it on the System Info page (Press (Y) to display that page.)
