try the other bank, lol im not sure which one has the 1.6 bios on it but i think you go the right one but its not going to hurt anything to try the other, if it dont work then check all your soldering

check chancer's duox2 install guide and it will guide you through the install using both the female and male headerpins and you can remove the black plastic switch protector , it just keeps the switch safe during transit.

do as antz1970 said and tidy up your lpc rebuild it looks like you used garden hose to do the install. Use wire wrap next time 30 awg ( very fine single strand wire with heat resistant coating ) strip only 1 or 2 mm of the ends of each wire.

The problem is clearly the soldering and the rebuild. The Lframe point looks like it could be soldered to every via round it and the LPC connections are bad as well.
The wire looks a little on the heavy side. I would re-do it with some 30awg kynar

thats awful, really really bad, use wire instead of trying to be cool and make a solder "slug" for gods sakes that is really pathetic.

I actually don't see the problem with the re-rebuild (sure its not pretty), except for the Lframe connection like Otherguy pointed out but even that connection is making contact where it should. I would just clean up al little more around the lpc points and make sure thre is no solder bridging 2 points on the LPC...

Also it could be the switch on the Duox2, flip it a couple of times back and forth and put a jumper so its always set to bank 1 to make sure..

Look HERE and desolder the wire in red.

if you look HERE on Xecuters tutorial for LPC rebuild, you'll notice that the extra wire i circled is not supposed to be there.

i did an install the same way as you once and the box booted fine with the chip on, but trying to boot with the chip off gave me frag. so i desoldered that wire and all was good.

cantloseu · « **Reply #10 on:** April 26, 2005, 06:57:00 AM »

do you have everything hooked up properly, meaning, dvd, hdd, a/v cable. again, i kinda ran into the same thing, the led on the chip wasnt lit, no i figured there wasnt power going to the chip, so i tore everything apart and come to find out the all my solder points were good, but the fuckin LED on the duox2 didnt work.

take a look at THIS.. pic and solder the BT to the other point which is 3.3v, therefor giving it constant power and not having to use the eject/power button.

if all else fails, just throw it away like im about to do with mine.

sorry, pic fixed

The first thing I'd do is grab a Q-tip with some isopropyl alchohol. Swab all of the exposed board to get rid of that mess.

Then I'd probably desolder alot of it and reduce the ammount of wire that is exposed. You should only barely be able to see the exposed wire.

I'm not too sure what that huge long exposed piece of wire that Otherguy pointed out is supposed to be, but ditch it!!!

I really can't believe no one has bitched about the splatter. You really need to do something about that. Get mopping.

What sort of advice is that. faulty original chips are extremely rare. I have not had 1 chip in 350 faulty so far. Don't throw the chip unless you have proved it faulty by trying another.
If you believe all your wiring to be as you want it and ok then you are at the stage of trying another chip in the box to confirm if you have a chip problem.

swampen did your chip have gold lpc holes ? maybe it is a clone as the original ones never come blank !

PS the original Duox2 chips are the most reliable chips i have ever used and their cheap !
