Duo X2 On 1.6
« on: January 05, 2005, 12:06:00 AM »
ok firstly resolder all the pin header points and then the bt wire on the eject switch ad make sure no wire or solder is hitting the metal around the eject button bt point , also look carefully at the motherboard especially around the lpc (pinheader) points for small balls of solder that may of formed by mistake when you were soldering , if you find some try to remove them with your finger , they normally will just pop off !

your d0 connection must be working fine since pressing eject will load the normal ms bios !

just ignore the 1.5 diagrams they are different ... but you must do the lpc rebuild for the v1.6 , did you solder wires from the header pins to small pads on the motherboard ? if yes then you did it correctly !

Are we talking ordinary Duo X2 or the Cromwell flashed edition here? (Is the board white?)
When you say no dash loads, you mean you have a blank screen?
If so flick the bios switch a few times and yes it must be on bank 1 for a 1.6 box.

Ben.oui I feel your pain. I had the same happen to me. I know I soldered all the points correctly (i have done 20+ installs and ps2s too) but the xbox would frag but boot perfectly when I pressed the eject button. Thankfully I bought the chip in bulk so I quickly switched the chip. Booted up first time.
  I looked over all the solder points and they looked ok. However I did notice that the switch looked like it was soldered on by hand and not by a machine as there was rosin all over the chip. And I also noticed that it seemed that the chip fragged more when the chip was switched to bank 1. Oh yeah and the the xbox was a 1.6. I hope that helps.

lets see how many installs are you basing that comment on.
I have used coming up for 200 Duo X2 not  one faulty one at all yet so I would say that compares very favourably with other chips of the same price bracket.
Of the faulty ones reported also no body knows if the installation procedure damaged the chip (Same for any chip that) and yes I know everyones install is always perfect.
Fact is with electronic components some are going to be faulty, but don't base an opinion on the odd few chips and weigh that up against the costs.
