I just got done completing a couple mods.
I took apart my xbox, got rid of the shilding, and mounted a switch in the back for a secondary HD. I've been told that the inner metal shielding is useless, so I tossed it.
I had previously has my X2.6 installed via wires. It was mounted on the side of the shielding, so I took it off, and desoldered the wires, and reinstalled the chip with a pinheader, only using the pins that were in the corresponding place of a wire from the previous wire install. So I ended up with 10 pins, and it should work considering it's connecting ALL of the same points to the same place on the chip, so I put that in there, and plugged the d0 / hdd and lan activity wire harness in there, and the wires from the front switch. Connected everything up, and turned my xbox on to see it Turn ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON, then FRAG! No video or audio signal whatsoever.
When my switch i set to disabled, it boots the MS dash perfectly and I can use my it as a stock xbox. But whenever I enable the chip, it turnss on off on off on FRAG!
What's going on?
This is how I have my pinheader setup and installed... this is the view from the top of the mobo...
ANY help is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
