george4541 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks for your offer to help. I have an xbox version 1.6 that was modded several years ago and has been in storage. Now it wont boot up evox and the lights on the external switch do not nome on. The only light on the chip that's on is the blue light. Any thoughts?

I have one in a 1.6 and it tends to tip towards the gpu if I'm not gentle with the xbox. Also do all usual checks connection wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george4541 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks for the reply. I noticed that, and tried to boot up without installing the drives, and same issue. Even with it straight and fully seated, does not launch evox or have a light on the switch. I've tried resoldering the connections, and same issue. Is there a certain connection or voltage i should be looking for in the pins? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george4541 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I also noticed that it does nor retain the current date and time. Could that have any impact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george4541 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Still not having any luck. Just finished going over all of the solder connections on the Rebuild PCB, and still no go on getting the chip to launch or light up the front switch.

george4541 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Seating and tipping the xecuter board has no effect. I notice that the 3.3 volt light does not come on. What should I check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 There's no LED lit for the 3.3 supply voltage. As well, there should be a couple more LEDs lit. One to indicate flash protection on or off and when the modchip is enabled/disabled (this one's on the front panel switchboard though which is not getting power). x3ce.pdf X3CE Installation tutorial v1.0-1.6 See page 13 of 18 Update: I thought there were more LEDs opposite the 3.3 and 5V supply indicators. But, that's the Xapter solderless adapter's blue LEDs in the picture on page 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george4541 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I know. thats why I went back to recheck and redo all of the solder joints. Installation was complete and working before the unit was put away for several years. Going to check the voltage at the back of the mod chip on the pin header conections to see if its seing the 3.3 v. I guess that should be pins 9 and 15 according to the instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george4541 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks. Not getting the 3.3 v to the chip or the pins on either the 9 or 15 Pin. will recheck the soldering again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george4541 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I see what you say on page 13 about the led but I dont see any other led on the board other then the two either side of the switch connector and the one for the write protect switch.

KunfuMunky Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I had the exact same issue. I rechecked everything with my multi meter and found oud that a lot of people have issues with the 3.3V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george4541 Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I’m my case, was a bad solder joint. Fixed it on the third time flowing out the solder. Not sure why after 5 years of storage it would have gone bad. While I was in mourning for it before getting it fixed, I found another used Xbox online with an xecuter chip, hard drive loaded with over 3 games, and 4 controllers for $70. Will take delivery tonight and hope all is well with this unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
