Problem With Xenium
« on: April 10, 2004, 06:09:00 AM »

after you have loaded the BIOS file from either CD or HD, are you then selecting "Program Flash" from the Xenium menu ?

Have you checked to make sure it isn't a fake chip?

Problem With Xenium

OK I resoldered the LPC points and it is still turning on and shutting off a few times but when it stays on it always goes into the OS.  None of the bios' I have loaded into the banks do anything and neither does the original bios.  All of them when selected reboot the xbox to a black screen.

So here is the run down so far:

-XBOX v 1.4
-Xenium 4th gen chip (not a fake) mounted using quick solder pads and top D0 (all solder points have been triple checked)
-Xenium OS is version 1.1
-using standard AV cable
-I have tried the original bios, x2 4983.67 Evox M7 and Evox M7 EF and all leave me at a blank screen and a red led on the chip
-I can't check the front panel to see what colors are showing up because the leds have been removed for a led color change

Thats pretty much it so far.

Just a thought...would a damaged trace do something like this?  I may have messed up the bottom D0 point.  Thats where I was initially trying to solder to but the wire wouldn't stay secure.

yeah, I ordered some pens that let you apply new traces.  Hopefully if it is the D0 point I can fix it.

I'll also try out the 4977.

<edit:  the 4977 didn't work so my money is on the D0 trace being screwed up  dry.gif  >
