retrobear Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 It's a chipped (Aladdin Advance) Rev 1.0 OG Xbox. It's quick soldered (not using the pins, D0 grounded to (https://imgur.com/a/jdytwmN), I removed clock capacitor as well it didn't leak. I tried it without the chip on. Same problem. Put new thermal paste on both cpu and gpu. Same problem. I don't know if it's the modchip or the Xbox is actually broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 If the Xbox boots from the modchip, I don't believe it's the modchip causing the problem. There's something wrong elsewhere with the console. Edit: Post a picture showing the entire motherboard and another of the large electrolytic capacitors installed in the area below the CPU heatsink and by the motherboard's power supply connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it working correctly (at least booting with the animation ) before you fitted the mod chip? 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...
retrobear Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) The modchip was already there when I got it, the chip's BT wire came loose booted fine for an hour and played a game, then won't even get passed splashscreen now.
