X-chip Is Great
« on: August 17, 2004, 01:54:00 PM »
We will be releasing a new install guide. A full guide for the 1.6

We show the alt D0 spot for soldering the Lframe/D0 point from the bottom. Which is much easier than the top via point shown in the quick install guide.

Should be up within a day or so.

It much easier then the top via.

Also I recomend 28 gauge wire instead of 30 gauge just for the 5 volt point. 30 guage is a bit too thin for that 5 volt point.

hey guys me and my buddie have been installing the x chip on my 1.6 for about 3 days just trying to figure out the mod and get it to work. We have tried 2 different types of installation as well as the alt do. I just got a new mod today because i sent the other one back. We have triple checked every solder point and every wire and nothing is working? i do not know wut is wrong but may it be another bad chip? any help would be great..

xboxer123: What issue are you getting?  Does xbox work without modchip installed?  Have you tried the quick reference guide and verify all points with the before, concept and after for rebuilding the LPC port.  How did you determine last one was a bad chip, since this one not working either?

I expereinced same issue with new 1.6 ( 3rd one ) ended up being the 5V power and D0( looked soldered and felt snug ) wires.

Do you see red light on chip?

Do you have a multi meter?

Did you write 4 MB image to chip or just M8?

Did you plug all cables to xbox ( power button,controller ports, harddrive, dvd, harddrive power, yellow cable for dvd )

I'm having the same problems. I have flashed using the full16.bin, double-checked all my solder points, but won't boot when connected. When I remove the chip, everything boots fine.

I also tried putting the EvoX m8_16.bin into an empty bank and making it the boot, but that hasn't worked either.

I've soldered in a lot of chips, but this is my first 1.6 and not sure what I could be doing wrong. The points are good, checked with a multi-meter.

Any ideas?
