Xblast Lite could be damaged

[Vendest]

Hi,

 

I recently damaged my xbox while installing MakeMHz HDMI, I shorted the video encoder chip and killed the motherboard.

I swapped the motherboard since then with a 1.4/1.5 (FOCUS), salvaged the xblast lite modchip but the xbox does not boot once D0 is wired. Xbox does auto on/off twice then turns on with fast flashing light. This is the same pattern I usually get when I have a short during 128mb ram install. Also I thoroughly followed the instructions https://bitbucket.org/psyko_chewbacca/lpcmod_os/wiki/xblast_lite_manual/Installation

Long story short, the on board tsop is flashed with xblast OS and I can see the available banks of the modchip when D0 is not connected.

Is there way to test the modchip separately and eventually fix it? it is the best modchip I ever used till now and would hope to make it work again.

 

Thanks,

I suspect the bios banks you are seeing is not the mod chip try again with the Xblast lite chip unplugged and you will proberley still see the banks.

Is the eject button still functioning correctly.?

Have you tried to power on with the chip in recovery mode?

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

I confirm that the bios banks do not show with the Xblast lite chip unplugged, only the on board tsop is seen in Xblast OS.

I have not tried the eject button nor in recovery mod. Will give it a try!

Thanks
