Is My Xenium Gold Chip Fried?

I've never tried to mod an xbox before, i had some trouble getting my Xenium Gold to work so i reinstalled it several times. After sever reinstallations i mounted the chip the wrong way, after that the xbox boots 3 times with frag (red/green). The chip LED lights up red and seems to be working. When i unplug the chip the box boots normally. (XBOX v 1.0)
Is my chip fried?

If i remove the wire from the d0 point it boots! could it be somthing with the d0?? in that case, whats my options?? soo confused right now..

How do i know if my chip is fried or not?

taking the d0 connection out and taking the chip off is the same thing. that is just keeping information from going through the chip.

the chip goes on the 12 farthest pins from the screw with the "X" in Xenium towards the back of the xbox.

check all connections (d0, LPC) and try a recovery.

also get the "Iceguide" from my sig.

I've read the iceguide. The wire to the d0 point is well on place and the lpc is in place. Been reinstalling the chip a thousand times and keep getting this annoying 3x reboot and FRAG. The chip is intact if the chip LED light red? Havent cleaned the lpc's with alcohol though, since i dont have any. Closest i got is nail polish remover  laugh.gif
Doesnt help swiching to recovery mode. same result

switching to recover does nothing unless you have the files to give it to recover from. since you cant get to the OS you will have to try a recovery from a disc. get the ISO and burn to a dvd or whatever works with your xbox. not a CD though. put in your xbox and shut it down. put the chip in recovery mode and boot up with disc in.

Downloaded the ISO, burned it on a DVD, but this helps little when it doesnt boot at all. It does 3 reboots then starts blinking red/green with no audio/video signal. Same result in recovery mode.. Any other good ideas?  uhh.gif

did you see a "got from disc" or something similar?? if you didnt it didnt work. try again and make sure your media is readable for the xbox. try it agian if it still does not show that screen, i would exchange.

Nothing happends what so ever. I get no video signal at all when the chip is installed. Do i need the chip to be able to read the burned DVD? Removed the chip and booted with the DVD, it said it couldnt read the disc.

Should i try to clean the LPC with nail polish remover or does it leave some kind of layer on the surface?

How do i see if my chip is fried or not?

Thx for your help m8! This doesnt look good though  unsure.gif

to see if your chip is fried you will have to try it in a xbox that you know works when modded. theres a good possibility that your chip if fried since you put it on wrong 3 times in a row.
