Ok Update on dead 1.6..This is my experience..and it worked great !  
THANKS TO OzXODUS TEAM!!

I read their tutorial and figured they knew what was going on..
I too did nothing to the board just a simple transferring of the guts to a pre 1.6 case.

I took their part number for the new Transistor
to www.norvac.net (electronics store where  I live..they are everywhere)
they then cross refrence with..
http://nte01.nteinc....Search?OpenForm

which provided part number NTE2407
We also cross refrenced the original xbox transistor part number
and it also refrenced the same NTE2407 transistor...

Replaced the original transistor with the new one and BOOM xbox immediately started perfect!  and YES is ALOT MORE STABLE!!

man are these things small!  but you get 2 of them in a package for 1.60$
They are 2mm in size but a pretty simple thing to solder (and I am NO guru at soldering lol)

Here is the xbox specs..
Green halo LE xbox
3/20/04
5713.01
5659.03

THANKS AGAIN TEAM OzXODUS!!  You saved me 150$!!  
I bought 6 of these bad boys for other boxes to come just in case!

GUYS, the first BETA ! YUHUU Please only people who have an 1.6 box or 1.6 Box devs should install it. I decided to release, as it looks like, the Xenium just startet there Box the first time and almost killed it. (Why the hell did i write, that power supply changed ) Also, maybe we see in Additional 72 hours an Update from there side. So , download it from here: http://hamtitampti.t...m/beta_3313.zip (Relase and update notes and diagramms included inside the zip) sorry, the Website had a 200k limit (and somewhere i lost the pw for smartxx - website. ..) , i released it on tripod. (note, tripod does not allow refers, so you have to type the URL manually into your browser) So People, i think, it is time for you, to decide what you want to buy. :-) Note to Xbins / Xbox-Scene & others: Do not upload this bios to Xbins / Xbox-scene , as this is a really hard core beta. Also, you can expect very soon new betas/finals, and this would only confuse the normal people (they sure will try it to install too) thx. I will release them here in this channel. franz

Please only post 1.6 matters in this thread!
The "what to buy" remarks and other remarks are retandand in this thread!
There are others threads were u can post!

Btw the missing hole on the 1.6 mobo will certainly cause u trouble
U can either cut the shielding or put some pvc tape over it!
But it is recommended to remove some of the plastic too!

if you read more closely you would realize that this was not a "what to buy" remark but a beta release of a working bios for smartxx on a 1.6 box.  Next time read b4 your flame.

yep and I also stated the plastic needed to be shaved down.. and it was more of a question of why the thing died so easily.. which was answered by a TEAM .. so thank you anyway.

Hi any news apart from the Smartxx cromwell bios update? Can we not talk about oh I have a 1.6 in my halo le, to be honest no one cares about that now, were all looking for ways to get the bios/video up and running now lets get back to the subject, hardware & technical chat.

Seems pretty impressive to me they are saying a final os will be ready within 72 hours and declares the 1.6 issue over from their side (until a hacked bios is developed).

Edit: added front page quote.

now that a chip is able to run... how hard or what entails a bios to be created?
any ideas or guesses on how long before that is created?

i think the only thing slowin them down on the BIOS is the new Video encoder, I herd it took 3 months for Focus support, and both the Connexant and Focus are documented Chips, this new 1 isn't yet known if it's just mis-labled(don't remember what it's called) or custom made, but support will come

I wouldn't worry about that much... soon...
