I don’t want to start anything, I just got an ICE chip in the mail today and I noticed that the Xeniun logo looks like it’s in bold print.  I compared it to my other ICE chip and the text is bolder that than the other chip.  To top it off once I installed the chip FRAG, I put in my old ice and guess what worked like a charm.


I will try to upload a pic I just don’t know how!

hmmmm i haven't heard of any clones yet.... i assume the new protections in place on the ICE prevent cloning....

ps i'll host the pic EmperorPsiblade(@t)cox.net

The xenium logo should eb in a bolder print then the rest of the tex ton the chip...

The second image you posted does look strange ... Where did you get that chip from? All of my ICEs look like the first pic you posted and have the digits "0408 02" above the Xenium logo.

I got it from Divineo, I just sent a E-mail to support to replace the chip.  Hope that will exchange it!

Mine looks like the second one also. It also fragged on my 1.6 (I thought I did the rebuild wrong so I had to buy a 1.0 xbox) I am going to install it tonight and see if it works on the 1.0, if it doesn't I'll contact  Xodus and Modchipman

huh..thats weird.... i've only bought 2 chips both from mod-Chip_Source and they are fantastic.  im not here to advertise but i dont ever hear anyone ordering from them.  i got my chips in 2 days.  both worked great so far.

hmmmm the second one looks like its lower quality... look at the via near ".com" on the second chip... different but only a slight difference....

look how badly the "d0" was printed on their... if it was up to me... i'd say that either Xodus has gone to cheaper production methods or these are new clones.... possibly with a hacked XOS despite the difficulties in modification of the XOS....

does look like lower quality.

xos2 was hacked ages ago; clones are likely to be out and about, but i wouldnt point fingers.

I took some pics of mine:

Sorry for the blury pics, but my camera isn't very good

What do you guys think I should do? Should I return the chip?

[bishop05]

Where did you get it from?  I waiting for a E-mail from where I bought my chip from for a RMA #

I would return it if i were you, I has to be the chip, I placed my other chip in both on my boxed and booted just fine so i know my install of the solderless adaptor is fine.

I asked Team Xodus and they told me both are 'originals'. (Oz)Xodus used 2 different factories to produce the pcb ... that's what's causing the small differences.

It frags on my box, the red LED lights up and it frags.  I put my other ice in and it boots just fine I'm assuming is just a bad chip.
