Brand New Xbox V1.5
« on: February 28, 2005, 12:24:00 AM »
Any xbox manufactured since March 2004 is a v1.6 or later.
You don't have a 1.4/1.5.

Strude: You are talking crap - sorry to be so rude but the photos clearly show that is NOT a 1.6 board but a 1.4/5

If nothing else the additional memory sockets give it away ! But quite simply the 1.6 board looks nothing like a 1.4/5 board.

Web11 - I think you just got lucky - maybe they found a pile of bits that they wanted to shift and they decided to do a quick production run from the parts bin

I know I'd always go for older boards than the new rubbish

Enjoy

Sorry I can't. I already delivered that box. The only soldering on the bottom is the D0, which looks exactly like this:

Same happened to me.  I got a Transparant Green Box, Made in China, production line 1, Feb of '05.  It had a 1.4 Mobo.  The Xecuter 2.6CE with a x2 BIOS works fine on it (The 1.6's need an M8 BIOS)

Yeah I've heard of them making v1.4 again, thats old news. But THIS IS A v1.5 which supposedly was discontinued in 2003.

Hope I made that clear this time =p

well about that i see that all the ones that come from gamestop and babbages are all refurbished by them not by ms. Ive gotten 1.4 xbox cases with 1.0 stuff inside and the worst possible dvd drives the thomsons.
