Canhaotigerpaw Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 So i have a 1.0 xbox that doesnt stay on, 2 times it goes on off and then stays blinking. Tried to install a aladdin chip and it does the same. Any advice? What may be the faulty part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Possibly needs the caps changing by the heat sinks. Have you removed the clock cap? What are the colours of the frag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canhaotigerpaw Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Red and green flashing. The caps look good. No clock cap installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Here’s a link to the error codes, red & green doesn’t give us much to go on. https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/wiki/error_codes?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Do you know the history of the Xbox, is the modchip in or out at the moment?

Canhaotigerpaw Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) The chip is out. It doesnt go to splash screen. So i dont have an error code to refere to. The thing is i power it on and it goes off and cycles on off until it stopes and gives me the cycling lights. I have 3 more xbox 2 softmodded and 1 hardmodded with aladdin chip with no pinheader just wired. This one is my first xbox that i screwed with a softmod....thats why i tried to put a chip on it. The d0 for me isthe most dificult to put on as it always comes lose. My hard moded xbox sometimes does the same as i power it for the 2 secs predicted to power the chip.it only goes to the chip wen it gets to temperature after running for a few minutes in the other mode.

Regarding the D0 use the point on the underside for your version of Xbox it’s a lot less fiddly. If you do want to use the point on top expose a bit of the trace to make it easier. So was the Xbox working okay before you tweaked the softmod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the processe of young age i managed to lose all content in the hdd back then. So thats why the chip.Had this xbox stored ages ago. Can it be the psu?

Ging3rguy Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 If it is powering up it is more likely to be a bad cap. Did you get an error 7 before you put it in storage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing doesnt even go to the xbox splash screen now, dont know what to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Try booting it up with the dvd drive unplugged and then with the hdd unplugged and see if it does anything different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canhaotigerpaw Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Same thing. Now i think i just screwed burned the d0 point on both sides of the board..... Fk.as this is a 1.0 i think theres nothing i can do anymore. Might scrap the Mb and salvage the rest for parts... FK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FK If you can get it to run you can tsop, you can probably still get a D0 point by just by exposing some of the trace. You can make an eeprom reader for £3.00 and rebuild the hdd. I think it is most likely a bad cap but you can only really test them off the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt goes to xbox screen so cant do y thing.Might get it to a repairman to see what he can do. D0 point Its to small of a trace for me to get to it without ruining it more.

That sounds like a dry solder joint on the modchip to main board or your D0 joint is bad.
