D0 Frag earth mystery?

[Lexieye]

Hello all

i have a 1.2 XBox that is 128mb Ram upgraded & flashed with the correct bios. A little while ago I installed an Aladdin XT modchip. The EVO bios kept having a 50/50 % chance of  finding XBMX4Gamers on f:/ which was too much of a little problem so I removed the modchip, but I kept the wire soldered to the Upside D0 pad and used electrical tape to protect the end.

Everything was great until today it just started Fragging unable to complete boot?

after a little trial and error I decided to put the modchip back (without connecting D0) and it booted EVO bios to the green flubber! 
 

I am totally stuck with what to do? I googled alternative D0 points and can’t find a short (even covering them with electric tape) https://imgur.com/pMhevhQ

I can’t visibly see a problem unless there is a leak on points C6D4 or RP6D4 as there was a grease like substance next to them!

it just keeps fragging, it even frags once before booting the EVO bios on the modchip!

is there anywhere I can send the board in the UK for a specialist to look at it

What would cause a frag on an XBox? Like a bad cable or something?

I have fixed the original problem

Hello once again, the original problem was I damaged the D0 point so the XBox will always try and boot from the LPC port.

the not booting problem is the actual IDE cable is damaged somewhere? If The Xbox boots the EVO X flubber but no Microsoft logo then I get error 07. But if I get the Microsoft logo it boots straight away!

it is really hard to find decent IDE Cables.

my next adventure will be installing a XBLAST 1MB PURPLE CHIP because the new Aladdins are write protected

having an OS to use as a backup will protect the lifespan of my unit.

should I solder a tie from BT to GND?
