Ivan GR Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Hi, I bought a broken XBOX version 1.6 (the seller says that softmod is installed on the XBOX), when I turn on the console it blinks three times green and then green and red (no signal on TV). I need to find out why it doesn't work. Can anyone help? Video: https://vimeo.com/423904512 Edited May 29, 2020 by Ivan GR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon639 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 That could mean a dead xbox, did the seller test it before you received it? Whats happening to your xbox is called Frag'ing (Flashing red and green). Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i disassembling xbox and see on motherboard this connector (first photo), this connector means this xbox was be chiped? (i think seller remove modchip and sell it to me xbox without modchip)? also on back side motherboard i see wire (second photo), for what this wire? for modchip?

KaosEngineer Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Sounds like a dead hard drive. It may have been hard modded at one time then the modchip was removed and the console softmodded. But, the hard drive has died. Edit: from the wiring on the back, they never completed the LPC rebuild required for a 1.6 console for the modchip to work. They gave up on the modchip install then softmodded it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 What happens if you boot the Xbox with the DVD and hard drive disconnected it should still give the boot animation and a error code 7. If not they may have cut the LFrame trace .

SS_Dave Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 This is from a list of error codes I have Green/Red Flashing Problem: The Xbox will restart twice, and then flash red and green. This is known as the FRAG and can be caused by many reasons. Typically when you receive this error you will not have any video. Possible reasons you may get this is a bad bios image, a bad bios chip, the Nvidia MCPX chip is damaged, broken/damaged traces or solder splashes on the motherboard. I would have a good to see if the LFrame trace has been touched. I would also like to see what's under the hot melt glue and why the wire is there. But if the seller told you it was working then put it back together and get your money back if the seller sold it not working you probably have some spare parts like Ram,Power supply, Maybe a DVD drive. Like I said on FB you could try a modchip but looking at the motherboard now I don't think that's going to help.

Ivan GR Posted May 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 This chip compatible with xbox v 1.6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that chip should work it looks like aladdin chip so it should have a compatible BIOS preflashed and you are better off soldering a pin header to the mod chip. I would link the BT to pin 2 of the LPC (ground) to make the chip always active. Like this You will also need to do a LPC rebuild and this is how I wire it. And you can see a spot I have marked D0 that gets connected to the D0 point on the modchip or you can cut the LFrame trace like in this pic instead of using the D0. In this pic it shows LFRAME to modchip do not do this.

Ging3rguy Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 If you haven’t already bought go for an Aladdin with a pinheader connecter, if you have a problem you can just lift it off rather than having to desolder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I would also get a strip of pin header like this if the chip is not supplied with it.
