I can't see one either, and the 1.3 chips adapter needs modifying if you want to use it with a 1.3 xbox. nobody anywhere seems to want to tell me what to do to modify it.... easybuy2000 says:
"slight modifications need to be done to the Adapter - instructions for this will be released soon"

Just installed chameleon, unsure of xbox model, just bought it last month new so i assume v1.3. blue light on chameleon flashes on power on/off but otherwise is not having an effect.
can someone advise on what to do? been through these forums and manuals and can't find the solution?

Just letting people know how easy it is to solder on the chameleon.  I install the chameleon for the first time doing the pin header method with P/E and using the D0 under the motherboard ... got it up and running in less then half and hour.  Excellent modchip.  It was easy to do the soldering considering that i am no expert at soldering.

tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

try flashing a different bios, could just be the xp flash progarmmer doesnt recognise or something. otherwise i dont know, havnt had any time for anything xbox related recently

blue flash but having no effect i would assume is related to the lpc. however if it is booting the msdash normally then its a problem with the d0 connection (and possibly he ground connector on the lpc

What about enable/disable switches for the solderless chameleons?  Has anyone tried it?  If so, where would one solder the “switch” to the chameleon?  I’ve heard the D0 connection between the chip and the motherboard is good but I have a solderless adapter on mine.  Can I just solder a switch to the D0 tab on the back of my chameleon?  Also, if I have the e/p points soldered already, do I even need to install a enable/disable switch?  I just don’t want to go online one day and find that M$ banned me from playing live… that would suck.

to disable the chip you will have to find some way of cuting the wire that goes to d0, if you cut the wire part from the connector to chip it should be much easier, but basically you will need to cut a wire and solder a swich in between, turn the switch off and the original xbox bios should boot fine (so long as drive is locked, filenames are the same and stuff like that)

no for tsop flash.
the bottom of the board for p/e is quite hard as the actual connection is to a chip not to a connection ring for a component but it might be worth taking a look any1 who has their console open.
d0 is the ground and doesnt need anything other than that.
Chris

A "connection ring" is actually called a via.

d0 is not ground...it is +5V or something...when you manually ground it (enable the mod), then the Xbox knows to use the LPC points as a location for the BIOS.

When you say manually ground d0, do you mean ground the d0 point on the Chameleon or ground the d0 connector on the mobo?

Just curious..
Thanks,

You create the ground by connecting the D0 point on the MB to the D0 point on the Chameleon.

Ok, so if you wanted to bypass the Chameleon, you could ground the d0 point on the mobo to chassis ground... right?

I'm guessing that the d0 point on the Chameleon is wired to pin2 of the LPC which is ground I believe?


Thanks!

That sounds right from what I have read.  Xodus could answer that better though.  ( I believe it is wired that way on the solderless adapter.)
