xelizor Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Hello guys, I have a faulty xbox that powers on and shutsdown by itself the first two power cycles (while bliking green/orange), and the it stays powered on for the third time while bliking red/green. The xbox does not show any image. I have a PAL system, and this happened when I used Enigma video mode switch (I have used it before with this console and everything worked just fine). From what I've read I suspect that the problem is some sort of corruption on the eeprom, so I decided to try read/erase/write the eeprom using a Raspberry PI. But after trying to redo all the solder work again and again (always trying to be very careful), PiPROM cannot find to manage any 0x54. Is it the solder work? Or it might be some other problem within the console (btw I'm using the console's PSU to power it). Best Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Of all the solder joints pin 1(square pad) is the only one that looks good all the other look like a ball on the top of the pin. Try some more flux and heat. Here is a list of error led flashes The Xbox has a pin header why not plug on a modchip and also check there is not a link on the bottom of the board for the D0 shorting out.

xelizor Posted July 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thank you for your fast reply. I've tried to redo the soldering but it looks like the pads are in a bad shape (they're probably burned already as I'm not experienced). In this case would a modchip boot the console even with a corrupt eeprom? If that's the case I'll just go with the an Aladdin and that's it.
