Not fixed yet!!!

I've used my xbox 1 to flash bank 1 with X2 5035 v16 bios.. still no flashing red LED..


I did a bit more googling, and found someone mentioning he cut the 5v (Pin6) of the LPC and used an alternative 5v topside, this is becuase the 5v on the LPC is permanently powered..

So I tried this, as it's easy to just go back to the original 5v.. Still no joy..


I can actually get the LED to flash, by unplugging the DuoX, powering on the Xbox, then hot plugging it onto the LPC.. and then the LED is flashing, and it's dragging D0 low.. however, by this point, it's too late, and it doesn't load the bios, just boots normally..

I've unsoldered all LPC rebuild wires, double checked, checked again, measured voltages, etc, still no luck! it all looks good, just doesn't flash..

I'm running out of ideas, but the fact hot plugging it in seems to kick start it is promising.....

*** FIXED THE DAMN THING****


To cut along story short, there was a short accross the XCaliber video encoder..!!!



Having pulled my hair out, and spent all evening on this, pulling my old XBox apart to test the chip etc, it all boils down to me splashing some solder on a completely different part of the board!!!

I thought the picture looked a washed out, and put it down to my PC monitor's composite input..


Ho hum..

Special thanks to Hakan on mirc, xbins is down and he sorted me out with what I needed..

I have to say, I was very very impressed with the Flash bios 3.03.. flashed over ethernet, what a great idea, no faffing around with CD's!!

OK, now I can finally screw the Xbox's back together and get some sleep!..


Moral of the story, no matter how much you think it's not your workmanship that's at fault, it always is!
