chipped xbox works but has red ring

[morpheus4096]

Hello everyone, got an xbox classic v1.1 with an aladdin advanced chip but the ring is always red, also on boot the dvd drive spins up really fast twice how can I fix it?
Tried flashing different bioses and changing the ring color in settings but nothing.

Oh baby.... That soldering job.... Is D0 soldered at all? Looks like you just sticked the cable in the VIA.

• What I would do is...
• Remove L1 & L2 entirely.
• Trim down the BT to Pin 1 cable.
• Solder DO to the backsinde of the board ( https://imgur.com/a/UsoRu2G )
• And trim down thas massive exposed wire to avoid shorts,
• And using flux for the soldering job didn't hurt.

Yeah d0 is on, so l1 to hd led and l2 to lan led?

Remove L1 and L2 completely.

When you bridge BT to Pin 1 of the header (Like you have alredy done) the chip is always on so there is no need for L1 at all. And L2 (HDD LED) causes also sometimes trouble.

And move the D0 a tiny bit away from the VIA's. (To much exposed wire there).

The led is red to warn you the mod chip is active so you did not get the Xbox banned from Xbox live and that is the L1 wire.

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