Dead Duox2?
« on: July 05, 2005, 04:15:00 PM »
I have installed about 10 modchips so i'm not exactly new to the process. I installed a duoX2 modchip in and xbox. I have never used a duoX2 before, but the experience has been pretty bad so far.

When I press the power button, the xbox boots its normal BIOS without a problem while the LED on the chip flashes red. When I press the eject button it ALSO boots the normal bios, just without the chip flashing red. I cannot get it to boot cromwell like it is supposed to. I have soldered, checked, checked, desoldered, resoldered and checked again... 5 times...

I'm at the point where I wouldn't be surprised if it is a dud chip since i've soldered it so damn much.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Thanks.

if the chips has power but only boots the ms bios you have a d0 problem

Ground the Xbox D0 to force boot from the LPC. If it still boots the M$ bios the Xbox D0 is the problem (soldering to that point) no matter how many installs you have done.

Ah it was the D0. I guess it kept coming off after I had soldered it, or maybe it was just weak connection. In any case, it works now. Thanks.

no... connecting pin 9 to bt would be connecting pin 9 to bt...
connecting d0 to ground would require you to connect the motherboard d0 point to ground (a screw hole)

BT on the chip must then connect to Pin6 to enable chip boot.

a glass of water propably wouldn't be a good ground point, lol.
not just because it would provide difficult to keep animals from drinking out of, as well as inconvienient to keep re-filling due to evaporation. but the xbox's ground isn't equal to physical ground (like the on your wall socket)
