Matrix Test Mode When Flashing Tsop?
« on: November 24, 2002, 09:22:00 AM »
I've flashed my matrix with the special tsop bios. I've put a 1mb evox-bios on the hd. And I've put evolution-x on the hd. All the soldering looks good. But when I start the Xbox it doesn't work. The Xbox starts and restarts three times, on the third try it remains on.  But I won't get any picture. The matrix LED has been both green and red when I've tried to align it (I haven't used test mode obviously - it's in mode 3!). I'm holding the ground cable against the screw. Is it only a question of alignment, and if so se my first post.

I had some problems doing this (for a friend) w/ the alignment... The easiest way I ended up accomplishing the task, was to solder everything, keep the matrix in mode 2 w/ colormod, noani. At this point, it was easier for me to find alignment, I then burned the tsop matrix image to the matrix w/ evox. Once that was done, I turned it to mode 3, grounded T1, and then burned the 1MB image to the TSOP....

It was so much easier this way (alignment) and after trying for over an hour the old way, it took me about 5 minutes this way...


Can someone please explain why it would be any easier to align the Matrix when it is in mode 2 with a "normal" evox-bios than when it is in mode 3 with the special TSOP flash bios??

flashed the matrix with evox2.5 red logo aligned the chip and booted .
it works fine then shut down the xbox and switch the matrix to mod 4 .
booted with evodashboard on my harddrive then flashed the matrix with the EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash . so that i didn t have to touch in any way the matrix and i was sure that it was on the right spot. it flashed and stopped the xbox . i put the t1 wire to the ground and start the xbox and guess what doesn t work i get the same error than hanz !!
and it s not the alignement !!
