Okay, I am now on summer break and have reserected my project (fixng my xbox).  I dug it out of the box I had it stored in and tested, hoping that time had possibly fixed somting.

Not the case.

It acts the exact same way that it did when I put it away.

*ONLY HD mode out works (using the Neoya X2VGA adaptor with my monitor)

*A normal AV cables only output audio NO VIDEO (I have confirmed this by testing my xbox with over 5 AV cables that have and still work on other xbox's)

If somone has a solution it would be great if they could post a pic or at least give me some direction.  I have already tried just about everything I can think of to fix this thing.  I really need to get it working with the normal AV cable.  If that means allot soldering or some elaborate work around I am up to it.


Thanks

BTW I live in the Seattle WA area so if somone would be willing to actualy help me with this I could hook them up with some $ if they think they can fix it.

I have the same problem as jocose
No audio but video

I got the xbox from a friend, it was unmodded and i thought maybe a bios thing, so i put in a modchip in and no change.  

I tried bypassing the orange filter that was suggested earlier, but that didn't do anything.

Hope this topic isn't dead, it seems a lot have this problem.

[yoshime]

So, i've gotten a little improvement, don't get too excited yet.

Before, I had no video and the sound, AND the front led would flash red and green

So i decided to put in an old unlocked harddrive with evox installed on it and M$ dash and all.  I turned the modchip on and ran it, and now the LED stays green.  

Don;t know if that helps but thats all I've got

my friends xbox also shows no video but audio is present.  (worked fine for 1 yr with x2.6)

i have bypassed that filter but composite still shows no video.  i bought the M$ advance HD pack and it will show the video fine for the first 20secs, then the image will jump in various directions and eventually cut out.  after a few more boot attempts, it will just not show any video at all until i leave it off for another 30min or so....

i have it stripped down to bare minimum (eject/on/off switch, motherboard & fan, mod removed) and its still exhibiting this effect.

any suggestions.

maybe its a heating issue since it shows with the HD pack, but only briefly?

I have the same problem, I chipped my Xbox 1.4 with an Xecutor 2.6 CE, the chip works fine because I tested it in my other x box, I've resoldered I've tried using the wire setup rather than the pin setup, both are the same, sound with no picture.

Is your xbox a V1.4 by any chance? I wonder if it's to do with the version of the motherboard or perhaps the power supply? Quite strange.


Let me know.

Rob.

ive got a v1.4.
did you try using different output cables?

[ncaissie]

I have a 1.4 with a Tompson drive. Unmoded. When you turn it on the eject lights up green as normal but no sound or video. I installed the chip but no luck.
the eject went red because I had the chip turn it red with the default bios.

The screen flckers when you hit the power but thats it.

I tried the standard RCA cables and the RF one I'll try the HD pack tonight.

I have the same problem mentioned many times before (flickering black and white). Has anyone managed to fix this with the jumper fix? If so, could someone describe it in more detail?

Flickering B&W..wrong video setting, and your tv don't support it. (no NTSC for me) so 2 choices, find a tv that supports whatever other settings you want to use or set them right for your kit...NTSC..USA/Canada/Japan/S America.....PAL ..UK/Europe/Australia.......  PAL,rest of world,.. everywhere else(not ghana..they pos+ video mod(or used 2 be when I was there..correct me if wrong) be careful of the pal60 setting, not many tv's support this..that might be the other problem here>>> About jumping the choke(that's what it is) try a meter probe connected to your video in socket. + a small capacitor for safety and see if you get any output...a crazy Idea I just had..maybe take your xbox to a tv salesroom and say you want to buy a tv but it MUST work with your xbox.(tryout the multi region/multi standard ones)they should at least try it (potential customer and all that)...sorry I'm real, real,real cheap!!!!.... and if one does.. quickly change your settings to what they should be...then beat a hasty retreat with some excuse like, fetch parent/partner, visit bank,..........

Same prob...no video OR audio....my box is a V1.6...

What version is yours....

I know of a "cure" for V1.0 & V1.1 boxes but none for the V1.6 ;which I see more of everyday on Ebay... is this some kind of flaw in the newer Xbox version?

A modchip does nothing for this one.... I know a few repair shops that fix our boards at work...I wonder if they can offer any help.

One thing that would be helpful is to know where the bios is stored (which chip and where - I do know where the eeprom chip is...if it is the same location for all of the versions or what...
