You can do a last test, as soon as you press the power button, quickly unplug front panel connector from motherboard. Tomorrow, test another PSU....

KaosEngineer Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 If you have an old backup of the configuration EEPROM's data (eeprom.bin file), restore it. There are three options to do so: Use a serial Xbox EEPROM reader/writer, a PC with a 9-pin serial port and PonyProg software Use a Raspberry Pi and PiPROM software Use an Arduino and DuinoBoX sketch Another possibiity is that the configuration EEPROM chip has died and needs to be replaced and the data restored to it (if you have a backup of it).

aries Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Not have a backup of eeprom, is it possible to use the file of another xbox always 1.4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 No the eeprom is a key unique to each Xbox. It can be nulled so that all other nulled (but still locked of course) HDDs from any other Xbox can be interchanged but the Xbox has to be working to be able to do that.

HDShadow Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Eeprom reader as KaosEngineer suggested but whether even that will help fix the problem I'm not confident. The suggestion that a major component has gone ie. the eeprom chip as KE also suggested means it needs replacing and that is not an easy job. If you haven't a backup of the eeprom and the eeprom is dead how do you get round that? Even an eeprom reader is not going help in those circumstances. Whether a Xbox would work with a chip fitted but a broken eeprom reader I have no idea but you'd probably still have the problem of unlocking the old HDD too.

Benur75 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 If this is a eeprom problem, I will send you a eeprom file from my 1.4. bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say using either of those two options are on the same level of difficulty. Yes, it's the 24WC02J - 8-pin 2Kbit serial EEPROM (256 bytes) between the TSOP flash memory chip and the PIC processor (System Management Controller). Grimdoomer's tutorial web page on using a Raspberry Pi and PiPROM software to read the configuration EEPROM's data. ExtraordinaryBen's DuinoBoX at github.com. Edit: Once you have the data read, if the chip itself is not dead, load the eeprom.bin file created into Yoshihiro's LiveInfo_Beta_3-Xbox_v1.6 Windows application. It may show that one of the two checksum values are in error or the HMAC-SHA1 Hash of the entire content is bad. I think it will recalculate those values to fix the content when you use the save option to write a file to the PC. (I'm not 100% sure if it can do that or not.) You could also open it in a hex editor and try to determine if the content is corrupted. The configuration EEPROM's content is documented at https://xboxdevwiki.net/EEPROM.

aries Posted May 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I can't read eeprom with the CH341A usb programmer the eeprom is broken, I did a test on a working xbox 1.4 and it works read eeprom successfully, my question is the following; if I buy a compatible eeprom and I will flash it would the good file and hard drive swap works?

Benur75 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 You can change a component, program it with the same file as you read in your working xbox, then you will have cloned xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aries Posted May 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Swap eeprom and hard drive works fine!!!!! the problem is a dead eeprom! Many thanks to all,i love this console! Another one saves.... Edited May 8, 2020 by aries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
