take pics!!!!! but yeah thats weird you stumped me. the wierdest xbox Ive ever seen was just a refurb frankenstien it had no daughterboard but it had fan on the gpu and the drive was a philips but the lpc had solder in them and the heatsink on the cpu was black... Its stumped me on what version it was

You propably got a rare xbox or something take pics it will help everyone here. (you did do a good job describing though)

I think is a beta live debug xbox.It has a pinheader installed and just
standard 64ram.Well I dont think the recovery cd would work,its
not a standed debug/dev kit.Check all the wires and make sure
everything is plug in properly.And you can try to install a chip
on it with debug bios.I dont know if the eprom is blank or not.
Well thats all I know for now.

That's awesome!!
Thanks for posting the pics!

I have no idea what that box is, though

i would really like to know what that header near the fan is for.

could this be the same motherboard as the XDK and that header connects all the extra boards. I dont know much about the special xboxes such as the XDK or debug but its a possibility.

but if it was xdk or debug it would be a 1.0 version mobo if im not mistaken. His is clearly a 1.1 (note thier is no daughterboard) also i believe the xdk have 128meg ram and his is 64 by the pictures.

Bad DVD drive, maybe heat shock failure. If its a Thomson, just get another one, or better yet, a new Philips.

I've been told that this is an eval xbox. Apparently they gave them out way back when before the xboxes were released for evaluation purposes...

Like I said before.This xbox was used to beta test xbox live games,
thats it.As for the odd connector,I cant put my finger on it.

if you want to sell that motherboard let me know.

As i look more and more at that board I see that its not a 1.0 OR a 1.1.

I'm just gonna call it 0.9

Many things about it are different from a 1.0 or 1.1, just compare it with these boards and you'll see.

All over the board, capacitors and other things are different.

the plug for the GPU fan (which is still present on 1.1-1.6) is not there.

A very odd board indeed.

here, ive highlighted all the areas that appear to be different from a 1.0 OR 1.1 board:

user posted image

1. The area around the bottom left is totally different.

2. Just to the right of that, the use of surface mount caps instead of through hole.

3. MCP instead of MCPX

4. No eeprom

5. Different ICS chip (square)

6. Funny plug where GPU fan plug should be

7. extra cap near the video encoder

8. that plug by the CPU
