Mave_rick Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Hi there, I'm back doing another 1.6 mod with an Aladdin XT Plus2. It's a stock 1.6 xbox, so I thought a modchip would be pretty straightforward... Added the pin header and the tutorial I followed said cut the pins marked with an X (hopefully this makes sense) X O O O O O O O X X O O I've rebuilt the LPC and cut the L Frame trace, linked the BT to enable chip at all times, soldering went smoothly, no traces pulled etc. This is my third xbox mod install hi When trying to turn it on, I get the 3 restarts and the green red flashing ring led Any help or checklists to work through would be hugely appreciated, I can add photos tomorrow Cheers, Bryce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaosEngineer Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 You sure they said to cut off pin 3 of the pin header installed in the LPC Debug port. I pull the pins from the plastic carrier instead of cutting them. i know about removal of pin 4 and 6 but not pin 3. And, 12 doesn't have to be cut or removed.

KaosEngineer Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Why'd you not use the modchip's connector to plug it onto the pin header installed in the motherboard's LPC Debug port? Pin 9 doesn't even have solder connected to the pad of the motherboard. Reflow the solder on pins 9 through 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try to use the connector but it wasn't working and I checked with my other 1.6 xbox that has the exact same mod chip that I installed (and its working) and it's hard soldered in, so I thought it was worth trying. Which pins? Which way is the pin header numbered? I used Flux and plenty of solder but happy to Re flow them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 The sqare pad of the LPC Debug Port layout is pin 1. They are numbered as follows: Looking down from top of the PCB 16 o o 15 14 o o 13 12 o o 11 10 o o 09 08 o o 07 06 o o 05 04 o o 03 02 o □ 01 Resolder pins 09-12.

KaosEngineer Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Bottom of motherboard - pin 1 = square pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mave_rick Posted September 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 In the end I changed the guage wire I was using to rebuild the LPC port, and reworked all the solder joins like you suggested. Thank you kindly for your advice and help, I can happily say I now have three working hard modded xboxs, although the aladdin XT Plus2 chips I ordered from a New Zealand company contain the fake SST 002A chip, so I have ordered some real 020A chips to pop in and reflash them. Next to get Halo:NHE (sever) working, any advice? Does it run different on a 1.6 or 1.0 motherboard? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
