My Original Xbox is Fragging after replacing the capacitors.

My OG Xbox started to Frag after a recap using the Console 5 kits. The PSU has been successfully recapped, mod chip and the extra ram chips work as i did that before the recap, clock cap area is fine, i removed that cap quite a while ago and cleaned the area with isopropyl alcohol. Every cap is in the right place and in the right orientation. But i did install C3B1 near the AV port, the 100uf cap the wrong away around the first time. I fixed that mistake, powered it on again but i get a Frag. What could be the problem? I reflowed the solder many times, and can’t find shorts either.

Yes i fixed it. My Xbox has a corrupt bios for some reason. Is there a way to fix the bios on the mobo. 

On the 1.0 - 1.1 the bios chip is a 1024kb size and most bios files are 256kb so the flashing soft where will make 4 copies to fill the chip.

 

You could try the 3 wire trick as this makes the Xbox boot from a different bank on the bios chip.

This is way of adding switches to make a poor mans X3, Open Xenium.

The other option is to replace the bios chip from a salvage 1.0 - 1.1 board or remove the bios chip and use a external programmer to reflash it.

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