OpenXenium and Duo X2

HI all,

 

I am new to mochips but I recently decided to take the plunge. I found an OpneXenium which I bought reasonably cheap on eBay (including LPC rebuild).

Since I am not so good at soldering, I also bought a spare 1.6 to try my skills. To my surprise I found that it had been modded.  A disconnected Duo X2 was hanging loose inside it (a white model with AMD chip).

As is, the xbox boots without problem into MS dash.

When the duo is connected and I start the xbox via the eject button, everrything works as intended (MS mode)

 When the duo is connected and I start the xbox via the on/off button, a red light flashes and the xbox enters a quick on/off cycle (drives starting then stopping).

My guess is that the Duo is defective. It probably was installed to read exports (since the HDD is a 10GB model), then fried and disconnected in order to sell the xbox.

But that could be good news If I can make use of the already fixed LPC. Can it be done, as the nubers of pins differ (+2 for the openxenium)?

And what would I be supposed to do with the white wire (D0) that is connected to the duo?

Please help!

I only ever use 1 of those boards the rest went in the trash.

In my view if soldering 2 PCB's together like that was good the more manufactures would do it.

 

I suspect the spot with the yellow arrow but resolder the whole thing or at least the red circles.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

I had the same problem with DuoX2 (cromwell flashbios) on V1.6, only one bank seemed to work. The problem i had was the videocable (component cable). When i change to a video cable with only (red, white and yellow, (living in sweden)) on the scart, i could get the other Bank to work also.
