I updated the tutorial with how to install a female pinheader onto the chip (For those of you who got the AladdinXT without pinheader).

Also added links to alternative BT and L1 solderpoints in the "Enable/Disable tutorial"..

Here is my contribution, a picture of a v1.6 with the LCP rebuild and the alt BT and L1 points connected:

I wired it up in a manner so that no wires crossed in order to avoid any signal interference that may occur (but probably won't

)

Please note that this diagram does not show the complete install. I conected a wire from the bottom LFRAME point to D0 on the modchip, but I do not want to be an advocate of this method since it could have damaging effects. I hope to have a picture with a resistor installed but I am having some issues which are detailed in this thread: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=312685

Thanks!

You can and should use the female to connect to the pinheader installed into the LPC-bus. And for 1.6 consoles, there's no need for a LPC-rebuild so really the installation should be pretty straight forward.

1. Solder the pinheader onto the LPC-bus
2. Solder BT L1 and D0 from the motherboard onto BT, L1 and D0 on the chip
3. Put the chip on the pinheader
4. Power on (by holding the button pressed for 1-2 seconds)

That should be it, good luck

*edit*
Thanks for the image $langer, I added it to the tutorial as an example of a nice, clean BT, L1 and LPC installation. Its in there now.

Also updated the male pinheader image and added some red X's to make it more clear which header pins needs to be removed.
oh, and I updated (?) your stylesheet Bulan, I was just getting tired of that white background =)

Damn that's some bad news Evil Ryu. Keep us posted on the situation

Aladdin XT needs pin6 which is 5V VCC. Older Aladdins like Aladdin Advance 32/64/+ and Aladdin Live/Super Live don't need this pin.

That means Aladdin XT actually needs 9 connections out of the 12 pins pin header - pin 1,2,5,6,7,8,9,10 & 11.

Which pin would be #6? Is that the same as i called #7 in this post?

Regards

*EDIT*

Edited that picture, now it should be the correct numbers as everybody else uses. Please report to me if something is wrong.

Later

Thanks Dansken. I figured that out beforehand but its nice to get it confirmed =)

Evil Ryu: Any updates on that pin #6, and if its needed or not?
I will probably mod another 1.6 this weekend so i can try it out also and report my conclusions back.

Later all

As far as I can see, it's not needed for the Aladdin XT unless you're using an LCD (according to Dansken). Like I said earlier, I haven't been using it and I haven't run into any problems other than those two v1.6bs.

Sometimes booting it using the eject tray will work - but not very often. After a little more reading, I'm starting to wonder if it's not a problem with the SST chips that the AladdinXTs are using. After reading this thread: http://forums.xbox-s...pic=309060&st=0, I'm wondering if the SST chips just are flashing properly. I dunno, but next time I get my hands on another v1.6b, I'll test this out (if the AladdinXT gives me the 'no audio/video' problem, I'll try swapping the SST chip with an older version one - using the same bios).
