Hello Together,
I bought an xbox today and planned to do a softmod.
When opening the console to remove the clock capacitor, I noticed that a modchip is already installed.
Unfortunately, I can't find any information about this chip.
Can you help me further?
Can I just ignore the chip or should I pay attention to something?
Is it possible to simply install a SoftMod !
Just bought an Xbox V1.0 dirt cheap.
It has a switch on the side, on the inside two wires are hooked up to the switch.
One goes to ground and the other lead is hooked up somewhere on the underside of the motherboard.
Starting to suspect the switch disables a TSOP ... is my assumption correct here?
Hey guys,
I just found this forum googling for an instruction for my modchip. Probably 14 years ago i installed this modchip and it worked fine for years. A few years ago after i moved i wanted to use my xbox again and it dind't work at all. So today I atemped another try. I reconed a loose cable which supposedly needed to be connectet to ground, which i did. Now the Xbox does boot the original bios. I can see my copied music and game saves. Trying to start it with pressing the power button for 2 seconds sometime leeds to atempt to start in whatever bios is installed on the modchip, but it restarts in the original bios. Nevertheless the LED on the modchip does light up on start. Do you have an idea how to get it to boot up with the modchip or a procedure to test if the modchip itself is actually working? Maybe you can point me to thread i missed.
