The dude Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 So after 19 years I pulled my v1.0 out blew the dust off of it. Turned it on things were not ok. Long story short clock cap pulled, damaged traces fixed. Fired it up and the Xenium logo comes up , some text in upper left that can’t be read lol then it just sits there and does nothing. Chip led is lit up red, used to be orange. Reset solderless pin mount and double checked D0 everything looks good....but again still stuck at boot up. Could use some input. Thanks in advance for patience as I’m sure this has come up before ..I couldn’t find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude Posted January 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ok so, with out HDD and dvd drive attached I get Just the xenium logo. With HDD and dvd attached It boots ms dash!. I’d post pics but I have no way to change file size on iPad. Pics are 2.7 mb a piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The dude Posted January 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 The eject button also flashes with out HDD and dvd. But I figured that is because nothing is attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Power on with the Eject button - this should start the XeniumOS instead of booting the stock BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The dude Posted January 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ok so, tried that and still get ms dash. Made sure I had of ms controller as well. No XeniumOS. Now I’m at a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 The video in the link shows the boot up with out the HDD and dvd drive detached, the pics are just boot up with said detached parts reconnected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With HDD and dvd attached It boots ms dash!. That probably because that all that on that stock hard drive. The original Xenium I have will not load unless there is DVD and HDD connected to the Xbox. It will still load the Xenium menu with out the drives attached by pressing the Eject button to power on the Xbox. Have you tried to load a install disk(Aid, Hexen, Slayers, OGxbox installer) Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

The dude Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Nope sadly I don’t even remember where to get that stuff. This machine hasn’t run in 15 years. I just remember turning it on having an M.S. controller in a port and it worked. Edited January 17, 2021 by The dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Have a look here. I think you will find it will load this. What happen when you power on by the eject button?

The dude Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Powered on with eject button just opens the tray and ms dash launches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 It is a bit strange it has the Xenium splash screen but nothing else What happens if you ground the D0 point and then try pressing the eject?

SS_Dave Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 My money is on thee solderless install. I would remove the solderless adaptor d solder the chip in correctly using a pin header, but if your not confident soldering then remove the adaptor and clean all the contacts with isopropyl especially the small wire sticking out the side. I am sure that by fixing the connections to the main board from the solderless adaptor it will work again Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
