Craiguk Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Okay I've just been reunited with my Crystal Xbox after 14 years in my mums loft I has the 2.6 Modchip, HDD upgrade but the switch board is missing from the front leaving just the cable hanging. I'm guessing it's going to be impossible to find one and can't find info on making a custom one, so can I remove the mod chip and soft mod it. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks If its not a v1.6 motherboard then why not just flash the TSOP instead of softmodding. That way you still have the advantages of a hardmod.

Craiguk Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 So pin one is the 1st pin on the left, really appreciate this help people. Oh it's a 1.6 so TSOP is out of the window, with stock HDD. I must have 2 more in the loft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craiguk Posted August 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Brilliant it kind of boots but goes no further than the photo I followed this and twisted the same wires, even tried disconnecting pin 8 still same result. Do I need to ground pin 7 wire to something it mentions something about d0 but I'm just not sure... See below it mentions it.... 1- HDD LED +ve2- LAN LED +ve3- Common +ve4- Modchip power in5- Ground6- Flash Protect7- Chip enable/D08- Bank 1 selectTo power the chip you need to connect pins 3-4To enable the modchip as the default boot bios you need to ground pin 7 (D0) and generally pin 8 to select Bank 1All the LEDs are powered by pins 3 and 5 and use an inline 220k resistor.eg. For my setup - boot off the chip, flash protect, and using bank 1I connect 3-4 and 5-6-7-8For Bank 2 you just disconnect pin 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin1 is bank1, not HDD+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe “we” can build a replacement board for people to have printed and then populate themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
