Ok,

I am trying to install a Xenium with solderless adapter to what I think is a 1.4 xbox (it was made late last year) and I think its in there correctly. The adapter is in the LPC holes and the gold wire is firmly in the d0 point. But whenever it boots it always goes to teh MS dash. No FRAG'ing, no error code. Just goes to the xbox dash. Is there something im missing??

Thanks

well thats the thing. I spent a good hour or two on the d0 and thought I got it in there perfectly. Would soldering it in help?? And will the Xenium OS just pop up when the chip is installed correctly?? Also is there a on/off switch on the chip itself id have to turn on (like the old matrix's)??

ok.....Im still trying to figure things out and I was looking at the motherboard of this xbox im modding and it has the Focus chip in it. Could that be a problem or is it just mainly the d0???

i did but im just trying to make sure everything else is covered........

D0 hook may have a cold solder joint at the connection where the wire meets the hook. At the adapter end that is.

Did you check that?

Still even that averything refers to D0 problem there have been cases that problem has still been on the LPC pont connections, and giving same symtoms as you are having. Therefore my trouble shoot page should cover most possible causes.

Just want to make sure you dont missunderstand my soldering instruction. I mean soldering on the adapter not motherboard.

Hi;

Did you install the little brass rivets into the LPC holes on your MB, as they will also give a better connection, also try the paper trick under the screw to try to level out the seating of the adapter!

Good Luck

Thanks

ok......ive got a new problem.....i think I have the chip installed correctly (the light was blue) and now I booted it but it freezes at the Xenium screen and the chip is red. And also the eject LED is a solid yellow then turns off after a few seconds (the LED that is)

Any more help is appreciated

I need help also with a friends box, we have the same chip with solderless adapter in a v1.5 and when I first installed it and turned on the machine, mistakenly there was a halo disc in the drive and the screen read something like "flashing...done" (LED on chip was blue). On booting again it would stay on the xenium screen, white button doing nothing (LED on chip stays red). Now it just boots to msdash and no xenium screen at all? Is this a solderless/d0 problem or did it somehow flash the chip bios with something off of the Halo disc?

Thanks in advance (I'm reseating the chip now to see if that helps)
