Soldering The Matrix Chip
« Reply #15 on: March 02, 2004, 09:54:00 AM »

i cleaned mines multiple times with nail polish remover. Yes it was working before i soldered it. But theres a problem when you say would it work with the chip turned off. I have installed 3 xboxes with the matrix chip. Each time the chip is unalligned of taken out. It frags. So it never works with the chip turned off.

Soldering The Matrix Chip
« Reply #16 on: March 03, 2004, 11:47:00 AM »

I have no advise that cannot already be found in the forum about the
3 reboot and FRAG problem.

Last time I tried repairing an Xbox like this I tried:
Resoldering LPC.
Looking for solder splashes.
Matrix Chip. X2 Pro and a PC-Bioxx chip.
Booting the first 256k of the original bios mod
M7 Bios
4977 Bios
Embedded Eeeprom in Bios

I wonder if a 29 wirejob would bypass an LPC bus problem?

Ever notice how close the LPC points 2,6, 8,10 and 12 are to a traces on the left
hand side of the LPC bus?

If after repeated alignment of the Matrix Chip what would happen if one of
those pins shorted accross the worn down resin that protects one of those traces?

Eventually I purchased a new motherboard for 70 bucks from the llama.

This is how I have managed to "permanently" install Matrix Chips with no further problems.
Site maybe slow so please be patient.
