i think my new crystal has fallen victim to this... i was watching a dvd in the original bios, and i turned it off, then started m8 a half second later... only to frag... boots without chip, but i cant get the smartxx to work now,

Well after modding like 150 1.6 xboxs and not even 1 with problems last 3 months, I wouldt take this warning too serious!

I am using all modchips:

Xecuter 3.0     more than 20  1.6 xbox
Xecuter 2.6     more than 50  1.6 xbox
SmartXX V2    more than 25  1.6 xbox
DUOX 2          more than 50  1.6 xbox

Could the resistor install be accomplished by soldering it between D0 and the ground point? This would eliminate the need to cut a trace and solder something else to the board. I plan to test this but haven't had time to do so yet. TFP

Hmm maybe

X3 test Results are IN

Crystal Xbox Edition - 2004-09-10 (different console that the Xenium test)
V1.6

D0 Tested with X3 and X3 1959 1.6 Bios

D0 at X3 config screen = 0v
D0 with chip disabled at Ms Dashboard - 3.3V
D0 with chip enabled = 0v

Results are the exact same as the Xenium...both chips have the same 'problem'

Someone try this!

I dont think this will work as its not the voltage on the D0 its the voltage to xyclops chip. If I understand correctly

[basso4735]

i just read about it. i guess smartxx has been adressing this problem. COOL

That fellow brings up a good point in that when I scoped the Doux I didn't noticed but it could release Lframe better. It's not as clean as I thought it was the first time I looked at it. While you will see it release a bit you'll see in MS mode it's not even 1/2 the voltage and it's like 1.1 volts and it's not like CleverMod it's something else.

I guess it's been confirmed X3 is tied to 0v during mod chip enable then? Also SmartX seemed to dodge the issue some crap about military chips? They are probably getting results like I am on the 1.6b and pulsing D0 other than holding it low and not talking about it.

[basso4735]

anyone ask around at the smartxx forums and see how they fixed this problem, and if they really did?

[110100100]

did you do use the "spring wires" or did you do a pin header install?

[zikronix]

smart x is indeed addressing this issue

http://www.smartxx.c...eadid=2901&sid=

I asked if this would work with "other" chips.

It appears that the

Xenium, X3 have this problem

the duox, spider chip and smartxx dont or will not have this problem

cat dog please get a mod to update the front page...It is possible that this could be fixed in a bios update from x3 since they actully have an eprom on the chip it might allow certain chages

How long will the xbox last without the resistor?? The new xbox 2's will be released by Christmas 05.

I have been trying to get the xenium people to open their mouth about this in ther own forum. Here is what they last wrote.

I am not a member of the Xenium hardware development team, but everything that I know about the chip, the way it works, official words from the team, etc., you do NOT have to install a resistor with the Xenium ICE on 1.6 or any Xenium (ICE or blue) on <1.6. I will mention a note to the dev team to respond on this thread. I could be wrong...I don't think so, but if I am, then I'll get to learn something too.

Now I am looking forward for a respond from the hardware team...

Cheers for that jROC.  Any recomendations on the best way to cut the LFRAME track.  

[shaunyb]

Hi again, when adding the risistor to extend the life of a 1.6, do u have to cut the track as well if have installed a chip which can be switched off.  Appreciate Guidence.
