Edge Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 I have a 1.0 with 128mb installed that is TSOP'd that without any of my own intervention started to frag (green light off, green light off, red green flashing). The only even prior was transferring games overnight via FTP. I'm not sure if something overheated or what but the xbox had frozen during the transfer and upon rebooting is when the frag started. I'd love some advice on how best to troubleshoot the issue. I installed a xblast lite to see if it was a TSOP issue and the outcome is still the same. Any ideas on what I should try next? I'm not noticing any caps that look out of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted September 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I've ordered a cap replacement kit, I think I'll take that route on all the caps just to rule it out. It use to be pretty versatile as most TSOP's are - even if I didn't have a configured hard drive I could boot from the DVD-ROM. It seems to be fragging before it can get to that point.

SS_Dave Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Can you see the Xblast menu when you power on. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted September 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi Dave, I do not, it never gets to that point. It starts to boot (green light) and then turns off, tries to start again (green light) and then turns off, and then tries to start a third time and just flashes red and green at that point, this is all without any video output.

SS_Dave Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Tries to Boot 3x then FRAG (Christmas Lights) Usually due to a failed or improperly installed modchip or the IDE cable being plugged in upside down somewhere. Check modchip wiring and IDE cables. If you did not do any soldering, it could be a bad PSU What happens if you boot with both drives disconnected?

Edge Posted September 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hi Dave, the same behavior with the drives connected. The same drives and cable that was working the evening before which leads me to believe there was something heat/stress related to the components. Some additional troubleshooting I've done - tried with a new IDE cable, tried a different working power supply. One thing I do notice is the GPU fan doesn't seem to be turning even it finally ends at the red / green flashing so I'm sure the GPU was getting warm if that was faulty.

SS_Dave Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 When you fitted the Xblast lite mod chip did you connect the D0 from the main board to the modchip or directly to ground. Can you upload some pic's on the main board and PSU Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
