Rochdaleguy Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I just received an Xbox I bought from eBay really cheap which I was planning to use as spares. ive just cracked it open, and wow. So clean. Hardly any dust, no pitting of steel, Capacitor leaks (I’ll still remove clock anyways). i May even switch my main drive etc over to this one and softmod it Is this a 1.2? Date on sticker says 2003-08-15. Shame it’s a Thompson drive, but it still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hi, the video chip is covered, if it’s a focus chip it’s a 1.4 otherwise it’s a 1.2 or 1.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 If this chip has Focus printed on it then it's a version 1.4 The version 1.2 -1.4 of Xbox is slightly easier to TSOP flash as the 2 solder links are located on the to side of the PCB circled in yellow. With the version 1.2 -1.4 board I would use the IND 5004.67.bin BIOS as it's a 256kb TSOP chip and the BIOS is one that will support a 2tb hard drive. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochdaleguy Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Cheers all. 1.4 then, as it has a focus chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the date of manufacturing would be within the 1.5 version release. I thought there was no way to visually tell if one is a 1.5 arent they rare?

Ging3rguy Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 The 1.6 is a completely different beast, the main visual difference is that it doesn’t have the pads for the extra ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
