llcgrizzly Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hey everyone, This is my first post on reddit, I've got an original Xbox that I bought already modded. I believe there's an issue with the boot process, its very temperamental. As you can see in the video it boots up and then almost instantly will shut off. Sometimes if i push the eject button twice rapidly and turn it off it'll turn on next time correctly and boot up. Note: Clock capacity has been removed and board has been extensively cleaned, I've tried a different power supply from a working XBOX also, that didn't work either. I'm pretty certain its a 1.2 revision. Its chipped with a SST clip. Was wondering if anyone has encounter this issue?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llcgrizzly Posted December 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 UPDATE: Turned XBOX on, Reboots 3 times, on last reboot the LED blinks green, the disc tray button works but the tray doesn't eject. However if i rapidly press the eject button 3 times and turn it off it fixes the issue, the next time i powered on it worked.... Really odd. Nothing shows on screen during any of this either. Once the xbox is powered up everything works perfectly including the disc tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 It's a 1.1 board (12pin power connector and no fan on the GPU) What happens if you use the eject button to power on the Xbox?

llcgrizzly Posted December 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Nothing, goes into it's boot loop, I tried pressing the eject button 3 times rapdibly again, only this time it didn't solve the issue. Keeping in mind once it boots correctly I have no issues with it what so ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which replacement dashboard is being used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Goes into the same bootloop, nothing show on screen. It's very weird, once I get it to switch on correctly I can turn it on and off multiple times and it works fine. It's when I turn it off from the wall out let and on again or when it's left off got a while when the boot issue starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I view the basic information through xbmc is says the build number is 1.0.4983.6 and the build is 1.1.0 Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 On closer inspection some (yellow squares) of the solder joints look suspect. I would resolder all the joints in the black box Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

SS_Dave Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 The bottom left is a little bit suspect but put the Xbox drives back in and what happens will it boot from the HDD and will it cold boot (have the disk in the DVD drive and power off and on the Xbox) a install disk?

A disk like OXbox 2021 installer, HeXen 2021. It's a disk that contains everything that's need to make new hard drive on you Xbox.
