Matrix On V1.1
« on: May 02, 2003, 05:57:00 AM »

The Matrix LED acts differently on a 1.1 box
even though it's lined up properly, it may still not go green.
you don't need to fill those holes, but it is easier to do if they are.

Well,

I am at a loss here:
I guess the problem is because the holes are not filles
the pogopins go in deep, retracting the g-spot pin from the g-spot.
So I decided (for testing purposes) NOT to tighten the screw, just to
have the matrix rest on the mobo, neatly alligned.

And hurrah, I got the green light in mode 2 and 3.
However, the xbox still boots the ms bios? Who's
fooling who ? (I use a colormod, so I can tell by the logo
color wether it boots the matrix bios. Also, remember
the same chip works in my box!)

Any thoughts ? I would like to make my sister happy
(the box is hers)

TIA

It seems that on V1.1 the D0 contactor of the Matrix don't work very well if you not obstruct the LPC holes because the alignment is not correct.

(correctly mounted in 1.1 you should get a green blink when you turn it on then it goes red in test mode).

Have had that quite a few times, however the damn thing keeps booting the ms bios sad.gif

If I try that silver stuff:

1. can I damage anything (seems pretty safe to me)
2. can i still solder id it doesn't work ?

TIA

Well  if you use too much it could short the plc bridge i guess. But that would need alot. Alot more risk in soldering.
You can wash the silver paint away with rubbing alcohol and solder if you want to.
