No i think it will be other way round,people will be complaining that the offical chips are not working so well,i have some dud original chips here and the LEDS have burnt out.
Also the clones i have here have the same LEDS as the offical ones so i am not sure that there info is correct!

The guys that run www.modchip.ca live right here in my city.  I deal directly with them face to face and I just got off the phone with them.  They said they were unaware of the fakes in their supply until now, and appropriate measures will be taken to remedy the problem.  These guys are really nice and reputable and I highly doubt they will try and screw people over.

It is nearly impossible that they were not aware they were getting fakes.

They had previously bought directly from OzXodus.  It would be hard for them to claim that they honestly thought they were buying from us again when they bought the fake chips.

The simple fact of the matter: You were boldly and blatently ripped off.

Dont believe that crap from modchip.ca.

Official resellers buy straight from OzXodus. If he has fakes in stock he most certainly knew that they were fakes and tried to sell them as originals.

It's obvious that they were trying to save $15 bucks a chip and pass these clones as real official Xeniums.

Saying that they didnt know they had fakes in stock is rediculous when infact modchip.ca went behind the wholesalers back and bought the clones from somewhere else.

If the clones use the same leds as the original and they have burnt out whats to say the clones wont be doing the same???


From the pics i have seen some chips use hynix flashes where all the original's i have seen use amd how hard do u think this will be for Ozxodus to remove support for?

QUOTE
I've both chips and all I can say is that the clones work 10% of the time.
the led is bad quality and burned out after 2 hours because the resistance for it isn't right. another problem i encounter are the golden solderpads. they come off if heated to much. other than that the clones boot extremely unreliable. sometimes it works perfect and sometimes the animation stutters or the box hangs completely. ione of the clones stopped working after 2 days.
all 5 of my original xeniums are working fine, boot 100% of the time and the led is still there after 3 weeks.


Your not the only one Scan-C go read the ozxodus forums and quite a few have felt the sting of the inferior crap these peddlars are trying to passoff.


Master enolc or CLONE backwards seems this time the clones were not so mastery As Scan-C explained above and many other customers forums post testify to the attempts at cloning the xenium are not living up to the CLAIMS of superior quality and so forth how does it feel to have failed at your attempt at cloning LOL i guess its probably the 2nd failure as im inclined to think the attempt at cloning the xecutor 2's was your 1st.


I guess its back to the drawingboard hey Master Clone just hope the RMA dept can keep up. tongue.gif


Good to see Just Deserts are dished out this time round.

how can the LED resistance be the wrong type?
Please don't make yourself look stupid,you 100% don't have the chips and are just shouting your mouth off with bullshit!
I have some clones here with both types of LEDS on and they work fine,i will make a video later to show how well they work to put people minds to rest,also where did you purchase your chips from?
So many idiots will say they don't work etc and never even have a chip,its the usual stuff

Relayer you again are talking rubbish how can you remove support for a certain type of flash?
Next thing you will say is that they will remove support for chips with blue switches!
I have seen pics with AMD,MX,HYNIX,INTEL.
So the next thing will be that they will remove AMD support with a certain date code xxxx?
Did you have a chip in your hand?
I think you have your cock in your hand more likley!LOL

I am refering to posts on this forum and the ozxodus forum read the post and you will see that read the forums and you will see how many of these pieces of crap are failing.

I wouldnt touch the crap with a pole when i can get originals with support from the people who know enough about the chip to actuallyu develop it.


I think your the one with his hand on it.

Of the 30 Genuine Xeniums i have installed NONE has failed and all leds work perfectly and ALL had AMD flashroms.

And as far as remove support it was speculation as i just know how to install chips i dont profess to be any master i just know that many programs need a chips manufacture id to flash them and that id can be detected with many programs so i guess it would not be so hard for the genius's over at ozxodus to do something i guess the cloners loved theyre work enough to try and spin a buck off it, pity they failed will cost someone id say.


What would be these so many idiots motivation to say they had the chip and it was faulty????

I would beleive them before someone that professes's to be a master and is such a newb on these forums.


Get a life loser!

You are just repeating other crap from else where which is what it seems a lot of people are doing here,you don't even have a clone chip do you,so how are you in a posistion to start commenting?
This other guy who says his LED burned out and its the wrong type etc also does'nt know his arse from his elbow as the LEDS are all the same,the visual out look is the same on one of these as the original,i did'nt say they were the same manufactuer!
I installed an offical Xenium and it stopped working after 2 hours as well,it fragged and then when it was working i got the games crashing etc.
So there you have it the offical chip was shagged!
Anyway lets see how many people actually get problems with the clones who have actually got one and not just repeating stuff they are reading else where.

biggrin.gif anyway, voltages for smd leds are a really hard thing to discuss. some manufacturers, such as kingbright, have high quality leds which will survive 1,5 v more than it really needs, but others.... look the clone xeniums laugh.gif

'master enolc',
You are a moron.  No matter how well you claim they work, they are NOT xeniums from ozxodus.  The people selling them are commiting FRAUD.  If they want to sell them as "xenium clones", then buyer beware, and that is for others to persue, but selling them as "xeniums" is just plain wrong, no matter how well they work.

For the uneducated..

I did post on the quality of the chips.  They are buggered. 2/3 failure rate.  As for SMARTXX.. it's true.. I had no samples.. I got to buy them the old fashioned way.  A review of them working from me wasn't necessary.. as I already posted Xantiums review of them.. which echoes any and all of my concerns. The Ones I had worked fine. Nothing odd about those chips.. just ended up having to sell them in buck at just above cost to offload them due to lack of customer interest and cancel SMARTxx orders.  Otherwise.. they were fine.

and other respectible places like xbox-wired. The complete list is on the site at:

I ordered my Xenium a few weeks after it came out from xbox-wired.  I wish they still were on the up-front official seller list, but they're on the long one.  Other than the early OS bugs, mine is fine and it has silver solder pads and a big X, so I'm happy.  Just though I'd let people know about a good expierence.
