Fragged My Box, Just Answer This Question
« on: May 21, 2004, 08:45:00 PM »
Fragged my box with a bad bin file, I have a 1.0 xbox, what would be a good but cheap mod chip to get to solve this problem. I've tried the 3 wire trick, it didn't work.


HELP Please

If you just want to make the box usable again, you can buy any modchip (aladdin would be a cheap one), and boot it off lpc.
But if you want to fix the on board tsop, you need matrix, or 29 wires chip.

definatly repair the bios.. don't wate your money on a modchip unless 1. you have a 1.2+ mobo and want to use live.. or your have no soldering skilz at all.. even then you'll probly screw it up if you solder to much.. if you are goin with an lpc on a version 1.0-1.1 you will need to get a a gas suction pump, looks like a little bicycle pump from radio shack they cost 6.99, trust me don't be cheap and get that desolderin bulb.. i extract all the solderpoints on an lpc in 5 minutes with this marvelous tool.. well worth the extra 4 dollars.. i make my own lpc pins from old mobos but that's cause i'm cheap if you bought a chip an lpc header more then likly will come packaged with it.. excuter has a tut for their mod installs so you can't go wrong.. also you can wire the lpc if you are afraid to use the header pin..
