I have a wire harness from a xecuter install with some really small wires left over, and i used that.  I think the best gauge to use is around 30, very small, but its kinda hard to find in stores i think.  Unfortunately, I tried that tutorial, and it didn't work for me.  I still get .2 volts on pin 5.  Although i think that it is fraging now instead of Frao?  i'm not sure though.  also, If anyone has suggestions I will certainly try it, because since there is so little i've seen about this, I am going to order another mobo, so this one is an Anything-Goes.  Anyone know for sure what happens when the mcpx dies? or GPU?  the no video is what is making me suspicious.  as for a good picture, I found one using the forum search for frao.  If it was in other frao thread but the picture uses a different point on the lpc, and via that is connected to pin 5 i guess. good luck! and let us know how it goes.

Ok, that cap that networkboy told me could be bad didn't help me atleast. I pulled the old one off and tossed a new one from another v1.0 mobo on, and now the mobo is stuck in an infinite FRAO, no 3 reboots, just instant FRAO.

have a look on the xs main page for a tut on how to tell

[thedominor]

oh.  I was hoping we might see a trend of older boards having this problem.  Omgot you might want to restate your desire for help on this topic if you want it, and bump this thread every so often, but not more than once a day!  Hope things work out ok for you.

alright so here's my problem:

**i have a 1.4 or 1.5 xbox**

everything was working great when i got it, i modded it with a smartxx v2.0 and a USA solderless adapter, **only weird thing was my D0 was filled, so i took a sewing needle and poked it a little and now everything works great with modchip turned on or off**

then i decided hey i wanna record video of me playing. so i got the xdk (im dumb) and not so long after that i was banned

then i wanted to get unbanned so i took off my modchip and solderless adapter so that i can put it on my friends box and get his eeprom. issues got in the way of this such as one friend had an xbox with all the 16 holes filled with soldered (wtf) and one had a 1.6 and i dont have the lpc rebuild.

**i also did the cheaper easier rf remote mod everything was still working great**
http://www.xboxscene.com/articles/rf-power.php
 **in this mod i soldered a wire from the rf reviever to the xbox's front panel**
http://www.xboxscene.com/imageserver3/rf-power/Front_Panel.jpg
**in the picture i soldered the wire to the point on the right**

anyways i was messin around with my sammy cuz i wanted to put a 616E in. thats a work in progress, but after messin around with my dvd drive (taking the metal case off and looking around) btw **i did all of this away from my motherboard**

and **when i put everything back together i instantly get three reboots and a frao**

so **i tried booting with the modchip on with the solderless adapter this time i get an instant three reboots and a frag**

**in both cases i have no video or audio**

**then i decide im gonna boot with a stock xbox (no mods at all) so i desolder my rf mod wire from the front panel and now the on button doesnt work, the eject button does but the on button doesnt work**

**and when i put the modchip on i no longer get three reboots and a frag i now get three reboots and a frao**

so my question to u guys would be:

****WTF****


thanks

[ferrari_rulz_02]

[omg0t]

I'm gonna replace that cap. My v1.0 won't keep time after a FRAO. My v1.0 has been plugged in and out of the power constantly throughout its working life. Everytime I used it would require a clock reset, so I'm guessing that the cap maybe gone?
